6/6/2011 9:09:00 AMI use just about everything. Several of my last fish have come off a Mepps Muskie Killer. I also am big on crank baits like Rapala Magnums, and Depth Raiders. Spoons work very well too. Probably the biggest factor is keeping the lure in the water. If you take 5 minutes out of every 20 to change lures and rest, you lose 15 minutes every hour. You are probably more likely to hook up or at least see follows if you keep the lure moving and in the water. Changing lures every so often isn't bad, but try to limit your change time by having another rod already set up to cast. It looks like I am catching a lot of fish, but honestly I am putting a lot of time on the water. I have put nearly 80 hours on this spring. Only 5 fish to show for it so far. Granted, three have been 40" or more now....
