Mepps Maribou - one awesome weekend in September. Otherwise most of my fish this year were on different baits.

Firetiger Suick a close second.

Musky Magic Slidin' Shad, the 6" one in a show special color (kind of a neon bluegill to my eyes). All my fish (2) this year and most of my follows came on this bait. Thank goodness I picked this one up, or else my rookie year would have been far less eventful.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that I threw this bait about half my time on the water. Funny how the bait I have the most confidence in is also the one I paid the most for (I have a very limited aresenel, but will spend the winter rectifying that!!).

Most fish - spinnerbaits (violent strike and Rad dogs)
Biggest (and most memorable) fish - XX

do suckers count?

* I guess that I should add that this is subject to revision...I still have another month or more to fish before ice

Yeah, the Timberwolf. Best bait I worked this season, although one of Jonesi's big bucktails sure runs a very close second. Now, my Snowrest did get me my biggest fish; hmmm? m

Well, being somewhat decidely bias'd toward lures from Sweden, I will say my 2 favorite lure(s) for 2006 are a Timberwolf glider (Nemo color pattern ) and a Howie Meyer Presque Isle rigged sucker.

Shane makes one very sweet running glider, even my grandson X-man can work this lure.

Having never fished for muskie's with suckers previously, I can honestly say I have been educated by a master muskie fisherman. Thanks Howie.

Ha! I also throw my vote to the Timberwolf. I have a 8" and a 10" and they are terrific. Boated a 38" first time out with the 10".

Seems like my best bait is a new glider every year. This year it was the pink hellhound.

10" manta did it for me most of the year but my back and shoulder couldnt take so I switched to a Hellhound. Its alot less work and has been doing well this fall. I just picked up my first showgirl, looking to get her wet next weekend.

My home-made bait, I have been working on this badboy for a few years, tinkering, tweaking, and she finally got a lot of run time this fall, let me tell you!!!!!!! between two of them, they put around 25+ fish in the boat in one month. My close second bait is still the 6" jake.
