I have spent 4hrs of the last three days out pre fishing for a tournament i have the middle of next week. Between me and my partner we have only caught two legal tournament bass. The only thing i have even had look at my baits are Musky. The first night i had one nail a bubble gum senko at a dock. Then today on my first cast with a scum frog i got a small backlash. I looked down to take it out of the reel and my partner seen a huge musky take wack the frog in 6" of water. Later in the day i was fishing with a Tube Zilla and pulled another fish about 28" of a tree.
For the first time ever i can say i didn't really want to raise and catch a musky but rather a bass of any size instead.
Stupid Musky!

hey man, just thought i could help....was fishing scugog last wknd and found the bass werent as shallow as i thought....I gained 1 boil while fishing the mats and so i decided to switch to a deeper presentation...I found a deep weed edge on my sonar (8-10ft) and started to cast crankbaits along this edge...2nd cast, WHAM! solid 3lber...I caught about 17 fish that day. After i was convinced I covered the whole weed edge I flipped the middle of the weed bed with a jig and was using long vertical sweeps to get these fish to strike. Give this a try on the lake your fishing on, I guarantee there are some bass relating to these offshore structures...
Good Luck,
