Landing Trophy Musky With This Trolling Method

Fall trolling for muskies on Lake of the Woods in northwest Ontario. Maintain large lures in the fish zone.Our mission began at Miley’s Place Resort on northwest Ontario’s fabled Lake of the Woods—prime water for mid-October monsters. My partner, Brian Miller, and I booked the week in July, expecting classic fall conditions: cooling water in the low- to mid-40s °F, ciscos stacking on steep breaks, and muskies intercepting them. Instead, unseasonably warm temps kept surface readings several degrees higher and the bait suspended over deep basins. Rather than wait for nature’s cue, we broke out the big boards, snapped on oversized crankbaits, and trolled shoreline structure at controlled speeds. The strategy hinged on two truths: Good structure is always good. Points, reefs, and abrupt shoreline drops still hold resident predators. Efficiency matters. Trolling lets us keep baits in the strike zone for hours and miles, even when ciscos miss the appointment. When a hulking shadow finally inhaled Brian’s bait—“Look at the size of that animal!”—the plan felt vindicated. Fall trolling, done right, routinely produces the heaviest fish of the season.
