  1. You mentioned the importance of through wire baits twice and then listed 5 baits only 1 of which is actually true thruwire construction.  Fretthold, the least proven bait of those you've listed, but the only one that is actually throughwire.
    So do you think a thruwire bait is a good recommendation ? It sounds like you have some knowledge about musky baits, maybe you could help the OP with some recommendations ?
  2. Anything with though wire construction. There are so many good swimming baits out there. Legend, Baker, fretthold, heddon, Gramma etc.

    I have a "musky mentor". His advice, get a solid reel with 100# braid, a quality stiff rod, wire leader, appropriate swivels that won't open, a through wire bait and play the moon. As already said, when it's their time to eat, you will get bit.

    It was stressed to me that it's also as important to have a deep and wide net, a good set of pliers and a pair of side cutters for a buried hook. Keep the fish alive, so there will be more Giants to be had tomorrow.

    There are some mega Giants up there. Good luck !

  3. Seems like our weather runs a month behind what use to be from years ago . Now guys are fishing warm days in February and now cold wet days in May. With a tease of warm Sunny day here and there . High water has become the new norm . SUCKS
    .. and the little league teams playing ball in wet muddy fields.

    We have been rained out of 3/4 games so far....
  4. Do a night run in the shallows. Stay away on a weekend though. Flat line stick baits in 5-10fow

     

    Daytime try 15-30 fow. Lead cores and sticks, or mark a pocket of fish and jig blades / hairs / emeralds.

     

    This time of year, I agree with the above post. Def have a backup plan for small Mouth. Either way, be a sheep and follow the boats just don't be a googan

  5. Interesting read. It's obvious there will be a greater chance of death with C&R but they don't really say it's going to affect the population enough to be worried. So, only target Lakers when the surface temps are similar to the bottom so they have a higher survival rate ?

  6. Under a lean to the Cabela's job will work. My cover fades in about a month but it's outside. I've had them replace it 2x. It's also not waterproof. Will keep most of the rain out but def allows the boat to get wet.

    I'm gonna build something soon to keep the boat under, cause I'm sick of covering every trip
