Great Winter Lure

When the river water gets below 40 degrees the main food for the predator fish is the minnow. The Rage Tail 3.25 Swimmer fills bill in cold water tactics. Rigged on a Predator jig in either 1/8oz or 3/16oz it’s deadly when fished slow. The winter bite is light so when in doubt, SET THE […]
Great December day

The day was sunny, the water dark stained and up to 35 degrees. The plan was to fish for musky for about 40-50 yds with the big lures from Adams Custom Lures then go over the same water with the bass rigs with Ragetail 2.75 and 3.25 swimmers. We had caught some nice bass and […]

Had a couple of gents come up to try their hand at musky fishing today. The air was 27 degrees when we started and the water was 36 degrees and dark stained. I didn’t fish with them but when it got to about 1:00PM they had some lunch so I picked up a jigging rod […]
Cold Water

The water was 34 degrees, see bottom at 2ft. Tough fishing, went with a buddy for 4 hours and caught a few big ones. The Ragetail 3.25 Swimmer worked for me along with Big Dady Rods and LEW’S Hyperspeed reel. Ed caught his fish on a Ragetail Baby Craw and Big Dady Rods. The cold […]

It was a good thing I didn’t have a client on board, The air temp this morning started out at 27 degrees and the water started at 38.5 degrees and pretty clear. The fish just did not want to bite! I’ll admit it took me 2hrs before I got the first bite and fish, a […]
