A short vid on a bull redfish catch.

Big bull reds are awesome.

Promo for 2023 season.

Some work a minnow bait like a jerkbait, while others simply crank it in. Joe suggests a combination of both!

Joe has a simple demo tip here that makes close encounters with big fish much safer for both the angler and the net man.

A classic signature Joe Bucher tactic in action!

Joe and Rich Belanger locate a nice musky that follows various lures repeatedly throughout the day. By revisiting the spot numerous times, they finally score!

Subtle changes in lure size can make a huge difference in a following musky's attitude.

Having nerves of steel and a cool hand is critical on zig zag topwater lures. Watch this incredible scene unfold. A musky bares down on a Walk 'N Raider as Joe holds setting the hook until . . .

While most musky anglers cast blades and topwater over shallow rock reefs, the jointed ShallowRaider consistently catches those fish that ignore other baits.

When lots of weeds exist, finding THE weed muskies prefer is key.

Keep revisiting follows!

While muskies are famous for their boatside strikes on the popular tactic known as the figure 8, esox lucius (northern pike) will occasionally react the same way. Watch!

When spring muskies are cruising very shallow, this tactic catches 'em.

Are you raising 'em but not catching 'em? Try this. Guest Chas Martin.

When Joe needs a musky, this is his go-to lure more often than not.

No matter how the rest of your day has gone, it can all come together quickly at dusk casting a TopRaider.

Big muskies often fall for small lures, but rarely are these smaller gems built tough enough for the big toothy brutes. The Buchertail 500 Tinsel is an exception.

What makes a really good spring musky spot? Watch this . . .

DepthRaiders are so good, they even catch muskies when they aren't suppose to!
