Lake Hudson Musky Trip, October 25, 2024

Lake Hudson Musky Trip, October 25, 2024

Finally got a rainy cloudy day to try for Musky in this Dry sunny fall weather.  Lake Hudson was the better choice for the South West wind forecast.  I fished 4 shorelines good for Musky and stayed with the White 5/0 Dive Banger because the small bass were liking it.  I had 5 hits it but only one stayed on. Switched to a 3/0 White one tried some new shorelines and got more bass hits but only 2 about 13 inches stayed on. 3/0 and 5/0 Dive Bangers Towards evening I reworked  a favorite Musky shoreline.  Now pods of Bluegills...
