Crow Lake musky tackle??

[fishing4fun]

I'm headed to Crow Lake this coming summer for the first time ever. We will be chasing muskies for a week. Those of you who have been ther before, what would you reccomend we bring with for tackle? I understand the lake is as clear as drinking water. I have alot of musky lures, but maybe there is something I don't have or some colors that work better. Maybe a certain bucktail or topwater that I don't have either. I'd like to start buying them now so I don't have such a big expence come summer.

Is this a casting lake or mostly a trolling lake. We are going in early July. I can't wait.

Thanks

E-mail Paul up at MB, he would be happy to help you with any tackle and techniques used up there. I think they generally catch the 'ski's while trolling. You may also ask the guys at Thorne Bros, they seem to have some knowledge on Crow.

Everything that Duffman said in his post is exactly what I was going to tell you if you responded that you were staying at Muskie Bay Resort. What time of year are you going up?
