Location: McGuire AFB, NJ | Well, I do belive the musky down here on Kinkaid are spawning. Havn't seen or heard of anyone catching one in a while. As soon as they get back into the swing of feeding again I think I'm gunna start out with some smaller in line spiner baits (mepps) and some glide baits (phantom's). Am I on the right track? What lures you guy's like to throw post spawn and what patterns do you see emerging? |

| shad forage lakes - WTD topwater can be killer postspawn (57-64 degree water temps)

Location: SE Wisconsin | I agree with you with respect to gliders. I am more a fan of drop bellies in the spring rather than phantoms and hellhounds, as they have a smaller profile and I love the belly role. Because their metabolism is so slow here in Wisconsin after the spawn because of the cold water, the fish are usually very sluggish until the water warms up to 60. For that reason, I like light spinner baits I can slow roll in and crash into stuff to try and stir up a reaction strike, I also like suicks and gliders for that hang time in your face approach. Storm's Kicken Minnow is another great bait here after the spawn.

This is an awesome approach too, and one I don't usually talk to much about. |

| troll, cover alot of water quickly and different depth ranges, also vary the speeds as some fish can be triggered w/ a high speed troll that would have been a looker at a slower speed even post spawn fish. peace |
