-Ottawa and MCI community clean up and restoration efforts

-How to prepare for season opener

-Early season targeting strategies

-Why early season is the best time to fish for muskies

-Leading a team of excellent guides at Ottawa River Musky Factory - the team's strengths and dynamic

-Fundamental changes has John made to his game recently

-Seasonal bait selection strategies

-Using a glide bait - rods, reels, and technique

John Anderson is a Canadian Muskie Institution. Despite the fact that he is one of the pioneers of Canadian muskie fishing and one of the best guides out there, and despite that we are lucky enough to share a boat with him from time to time, we are most thrilled in those times we get to hang out and spend time together because John is one heck of a guy. Whether it is shooting the breeze, or digging into muskie 101, chatting with John is a pleasure and in this episode we do both (but mostly talk muskies!). Our discussion topics include:

John's off season / summer camps and the ramp up to the season!

How/why different bodies of water open earlier vs others

Why the Ottawa region is so amazing for muskie/multi species fishing

Ottawa and MCI community clean up and restoration efforts

How to prepare for season opener

Early season targeting strategies

In this second part of our chat with Johnny Lubera of Lubowski Lures, we get into bait construction and how to up your odds of hooking and landing fish when using single hook baits. This was a very unique discussion and one that will give listeners new options for spinnerbaits, especially fishing heavy cover, weeds, or deeper water. Points of discussion include:

• Bait selection approaches
• Singlehooks vs trebles
• How to fish a single hook. Boat speed and rod type
• Bait construction
• Using hog collars with plastic baits
