Im going to caldron falls for the first time on sunday. How has the fishing been there? Besides everything I have, what baits should I take up there?

Non-Joited plastic cranks like grandmas or jakes in hot colors are great. Also, bucks with lots of vibrations and chart colors are effective. Guarantee you will raise a bunch of fish and it is likely you will catch one.

Have done well on this water with slopmasters (bullfrog and orange/blk) and top waters (poes/topraiders).

The first two posts are right on.

Chartruce bucktail is my best bait on Caldron worked slowly along the cabbage. Surface baits can be good if the milfoil isn't too bad yet. Action is usally very good in June, but it gets tougher once the cabbage starts to get gunky.

I have also heard that Suicks work very well

I should add, this is one of my favorite musky waters. Pleasing to the eye with undeveloped shorelines.

To Grass' point, I've probably raised the majority of my fish here on two particular colors of Mepps Marabou Bucktails -- bullfrog and rainbow/clown.

Double Cowgirl....hands down. Past two years, all fish out of Caldron have come on the DCG, and 90% of em on the 8. Strap on the wrist brace and keep at it!

probably the sliver bladed x-mas tree is the one that has put the most fish in the boat for us, but pretty much any bright color skirt with silver blades has worked.

100% of the time someone, if not everyone, in the boat has on a DCG. and like i said, the vast majority come on the 8.......
