This week on Outdoor Journal Radio, Pete is joined by Steve Niedzwiecki in the studio as they prepare for their trip to Hastie Lake.

Before they get to their trip, however, the boys get to a few news items that came across their desks. Topics discussed include: tooth extractions; YouTube rabbit holes; the value of Side Scanning Sonar; why shadows are so important; the ultimate muskie trolling tool; the least-used aspect of our fishfinders; transducer placement; scanning logs; A and B spots; the danger of soft plastics; how to dispose of broken baits; whether biodegradable baits will become mandatory; sexing walleye; Yellow Monarchs signifying a muskie spawn; and the size of male smallmouth.

With that out of the way, Pete and Steve break down their plans for Hastie Lake and give some insights into how they approach fall bass fishing. Topics discussed include: why cisco’s are a good sign for bass fishing; stopping fish from jumping; why you can’t ignore open water for fall bass fishing; deep water largemouth; September being the new August; why fish eat more in the fall; dodging smallmouth to catch walleye; fall smallmouth structure; baitballs as structure; rippers; sleeping in trucks; Steve’s go-to Muskie baits; fall trolling speeds; how to effectively explore new water; the versatility of a wide-gapped hook; making your own contour maps; trolling for bass; finding humps without a chartplotter; bluff walls; and much more!
