Train,

Early in the muskie season I throw 3/4oz spinnerbaits with a glow tail. I also twitch a 6" crankbaits(like Jakes,Slammers,or Cranes). It is never to early to throw topwaters!!!!! Got one muskie last year in 51 degree water. Look for new growing weeds(like Cabbage& Reeds) in the spring and work them slow. Also go deep and look for baitfish. Early season muskies suspend high in the water at this time of the year. Fish deep water with shallow water baits(Topwaters&Bucktails). you will be surprised!!!

Good Luck,

Train,

Stop by when you can. As for the advice, I like what the beer man said.
