Today the Mercury Marine Destination starts us on Georgian Bay near Killarney, then over to Biscotasing in Northern Ontario. First, Charlie targets deep water Muskie as they move up onto edges. Downsizing your lures on pressured fish can make a huge difference, so can your choice of leaders. Flourocarbon is invisible and less damaging to hard fighting Muskies.
Then, Charlie heads to Ritchies End of Trail lodge on lake Biscotasi. Bottom Bouncing harnesses have always been a Walleye producer, and this little trick will make it easier on your lines. Proper boat control is crucial and can help keep you in the numbers.
