No, I'm not going and don't want particular information, but a girl who works with my sister is spending a week up there with her husband and she wanted me to make them some lures.
I checked the DNR site and other places on the net and found that muskies in GB eat everything from Carp to Suckers and Sheepshead along with Alewife, Perch and Shad.
So, what's the story? I know they eat small lures that generally run less than 10'. If I'm gonna have any idea for body shape and color, I'm gonna need more than that. He told me, "I like white-bellied Baby Depth Raiders." Oh yeah, I'm gonna run with that. Help please without giving away your six foot long fish secrets.
Thanks,
Beav

Beav, I have a feeling you won't get much until the PMTT is over. I'd help ya out, but I've only fished it a few times so am definitely not dialed into the colors up there.

What Steve said covers it for the most part. Sometimes chrome, body shape shad/perch. They do eat carp though : )

Thanks. That gives me two body shapes to play with instead of just one. I didn't know that there were shad in Lake Michigan.
Something new every day.
