smithwick rogue 5 1/2 " in natural bait color is a good search bait, as every body of water is different.
ive had a small 20lber hit a big foot musky lure ( 12") this time of year. where i fish, mother nature has big impact on fishing conditions same as for other species.
but one hint, when they are on the jumps....spring or fall...bigger the lure, the better!
