Water Temp = 55 degF
Clarity = 10ft.
Structure = 20' Sand breaks
Cover = Coontail ~14'
Weather = Overcast to Sun and Clouds, Wind SSE 10-15 mph

Perch are thick just off the 20' breaks. Smallies, large perch, and some walleye showing up in the new weeds.

What would be your plans / tactics for finding the muskies?

Find a couple spawning bays and hit a Suick or phantom over the top of the cabbage, if nothing follows drop back out to the edge of the bay and troll some jakes or bulldawgs on planer boards in the top 10' of the water column.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I've had a hard time patterning muskies in the spring and early summer on this lake. Fall's a different story. Not too keen on bass fishing, but I do like jigging up some walters!
