Waconia musky baits

[Guest]

Im going to try some musky fishing on Waconia and was wondering what baits would be good to start out with? Maybe like the top 5 best producers for different applications.THANKS LEE

Ditto. I wouldn't mind seeing what everyone throws out on Waconia...?

Cranks I love cranks on Waconia. I don't truly understand why but I get good response from the fish out there on erratic crank baits.

Bucktails trolled 4.5 to 5.5 MPH or as Jon P said, cranks. I haven't spent a lot of time out there, but the two methods above have produced for me in the past.

What depth are you guys fishin' cranks for the 'skis?

[Random guy]

I like to throw them on top of structure close to the edge or drop off and work them down the breakline into deeper water.

[TMan]

Or the other way...up the slope. Choice is yours!

Or parallel to the weed line/drop off...ha

[TMan]

Yeah, that one too! Petrowske, how do you get any work done at your company there between almost 4.5 posts a day since you registered and all your fishing? What's the secret?

[Tonka Boy]

I'm typically running 5-10'. I haven't really found any structure that looks better than anything else(as I said I don't spend a lot of time there). I tend to troll to cover more water and have picked them up that way. We actually started getting them while cranking for walleyes. Go figure...

Tman, Cell phone is the key, I take calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and I can work from home or on the road via cell phone web link and a laptop. I start work early cruise the forum when I get the chance and I work late, then when it is time to play I play even harder.Being a very single, type "A" person opens up a lot off time also.

You know now that you mentioned it I had to look around at poeple I know what they do for a living and cross that against there post times...if management got ahold of this there would be a lot of unemployed fisherman.

[TMan]

Modern technology is great! Just riding you a little Jon.

If "management" got ahold of half the posts here, it'd be an awefully quiet place....and I'm guessing equally less profitable. You might get a "blanket party" from some folks if that happened
