2020, Collins River Musky - Fall Transition
Collins River Musky fishing is defined by a skinny water environment that is pockmarked with deep holes, weed beds, rock beds and outcroppings and loads of wood. The waters teaming with bait and all the cover provide for a musky fishery as healthy as any in the southeast. The seasonal changes that are set off by the fall transition trigger a change in warm water musky behavior. Less daylight and slowly decreasing temperatures are the catalysts that drive musky to get serious about their feeding. This time of year is about fattening up for winter. In this video, life long Collins River fisherman Dwayne Hickey, widely recognized as the Godfather of the Collins, takes you on a drift down the river breaking down the system and where to look for musky. He talks about how to fish the shallow stretches, the deep holes, the rock beds and all the wood. By wood, I mean all the trees that are down in the river. There is nothing that Dwayne points to more than the wood. Pay close attention to what he is saying in that vein. You will notice that Dwayne Hickey takes a simplified approach to his musky fishing. He usually has a small handful of lures, not dozens and dozens. He knows the river and what triggers bites. Having spent so many years fishing the Collins River for musky, Dwayne has his program dialed all the way in. There is a lot to learn from a river rat like this. You will be privy to how he works each section of the river, what presentations he is using for each and why, how long to work a given area and why fish will be where they are. This is a masters class in a short video. There is so much going on in this river system. Having a guy of Dwayne experience showing you the ins and outs of fishing for musky in the Collins River will put you on your way to catching more fish. The principles he shares will also work in any small river. Go with knowledge and fish smarter.
