It's the beginning of the end of summer in the northwoods, and Steve discusses how to catch muskies as they move shallow. It's his favorite time of the year to catch big muskies.

Steve discusses two great musky patterns that will develop in coming weeks, as well as current conditions.

Muskies are influenced by water temperature, and as surface temps warm they move to where they are most comfortable. Feeding windows are shorter because muskies will still move shallow to feed, but still spend most of their time in deeper water. Successful musky anglers adjust their presentations to what the muskies are doing.
