Back Lash Musky Fishing Podcast

Rich Reinert joins Back Lash Podcast to talk fall musky fishing: the best lures (crankbaits, suicks, bobbies and bucktails), color choices like Mud Puppy and Chartreuse Thunder, and practical tips for fishing edges, vegetation and changing weather. The episode also covers Wisconsin Musky Expo dates, gear advice (line tests and lure retrievers), and the importance of club-led stocking and conservation efforts to protect musky fisheries for future generations.

In this episode Jeff talks with Taylor Flannery of Musky Guarantee Guide Service about a standout season, from surprising topwater action and effective trolling to the best lures for blades, flap tails and shallow pit bulls. They also cover using suckers and rig choices, practical electronics and auto chart tips, moon-phase windows, and how to approach late-season muskie fishing. Taylor shares field-tested tactics, gear recommendations, and booking info for his guide service as anglers prepare for prime September and October musky opportunities.

Chase Gibson returns to discuss a standout weed bite this season: ripping Husky Medussas hard over Leech Lake weeds, why they work (and when to switch), plus his favorite bucktails, topwaters, and the gear choices that make it all possible. Hear details on rod/reel setups, bite transitions (rubber to bucktail/topwater), and what’s been hot this late summer into early fall — including Cannonball Juniors, MK-65s, walk-the-dogs, and tips for anglers of all skill levels.

In this episode Chris Willen, a longtime musky guide from Northern Wisconsin, joins the Backlash Podcast to talk guiding life, boats, and fall musky strategies. They cover topwater hits on the Chopper XL, river vs. flowage tactics, low-water adjustments, and the value of different bucktails and rubber-bait sizes. Other topics include the surprising success of unusual colors like "Bottle Rocket," moon-phase timing, the rise of musky fly fishing, and Chris’s off-season chasing of exotic toothy species. Practical tips and memorable stories make this a useful listen for anglers looking to up their musky game.

This week Jeff sits down with musky guide Ty Sennett to break down the wild PMTT tournament in Iowa (including a 16-fish winning performance), how he uses side imaging, and why specific baits like bull dawgs, tubes and the Pacemaker work in different situations. They also cover guide life on the Chippewa Flowage, seasonal and weather patterns, and new gear updates from Team Rhino Outdoors.
