Fishing With Joe Bucher

Here’s a fun slo-mo vid set to music of one of my biggest bull reds (redfish) of this past February.

Joe has been researching and documenting big fish catches and their correlations to moon rise and moon set for decades. Here's another example.

Minnow baits can be worked like jerkbaits very successfully for walleyes at times. Particularly sinking or suspending models. Here's the scoop.

Elvis in the evening and Spence Petros on the landing net. A deadly 1 - 2 punch system for musky success. Of note: Elvis is a unique color Joe nicknamed one of his Buchertails that seems to really produce in a special way in low light. It comes thru again in this episode.

Joe Bucher is not only an accomplished angler, he is also a killer guitarist writing and producing all the music inside his TV shows and videos. Dark Gravy is one of Joe's most popular rock blues instrumentals with a haunting solo.

Square-bill crankbaits are super popular, yet many anglers aren't dialed in to the the best spots and times to fish 'em. Joe reveals one of his go-to situations for square-bill cranks on smallies.

Joe and guest Spence Petros have one of those dream days on topwater muskies catching so many they actually lost count. A topwater frenzy!

Shortly after ice out, big bass can be crushed on crankbaits. Here's the scoop.

I have been fishing this lure with these techniques for over 50 years! Still as deadly as ever.

Joe and guest Spence Petros start the day arguing about where to start their drift. Moments into the first cast -- BOOM!

Shortly after ice out, smallmouth bass slip into warm dark bottom bays to seek out warming water and baitfish. Here's a cool way to target them.

Joe reveals how to read the wind and waves in order to pinpoint musky location.

Joe and guest Rich Belanger chase after a big musky for 7 days and finally connect at last light on a TopRaider.

Hall of Fame Angler Spence Petros joins Joe on a musky hunt. His favorite lure is a Topraider he swiped from Joe's tackle box a few years back he nicknamed Ol' Froggy.

Will BIG muskies strike surface lures during mid day hours? You bet! Watch Joe and his TopRaider in action with a high noon bruiser.

Raise em on a blade (spinner), but they don't hit? Try this quick lure change up.

A big musky explodes on sunset!

Tiger Muskies are strange in many ways and show up at weird times. Joe Bucher connects with a fantastic tiger (hybrid musky) on an otherwise dead day with odd weather conditions.
