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.

Steve discusses how minnowbaits and crankbaits have been the best producers as summer settles into the Northwoods. Night fishing is good and will get better. Steve also explains how to catch muskies when algae bloom occurs on some waters.

With musky feeding windows short in midsummer, Steve discusses how weather and the moon affect musky activity, and how to predict when such windows will occur.
