Late fall is a great time to target muskies with livebait! Cold temps call for a technique called "dragging suckers".

We're still getting fish on bucktails and spinnerbaits, but water temps are into the 50s now and livebait is a viable option now. I've seen giant muskies show up more and more frequently. These are incredibly smart creatures when they are old and big, livebait is a great way to fool a mega giant!
