| Which structure makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up when you are casting to it? My personal favourite is a long rock finger that extends into deep water. |

| I love rock bars/humps. I especially love those classic Canadian reefs or rock bars. Even better when they have some
frags or grass. I really like the ones that scream up out of no where.

| Right on GMG!!! Nothing like firing a bucktail down a "Shooting Lane" only to have Slobasouras coming rushing out after it. I've got goosebumps just thinking about it! |

Number #1.
Well that truely would be on four different sections of the lake.
All three are inside turns, chunk rock shoreline leading to sand, in 5 feet of water, then a four foot wide band of weeds about 100 yards long.
On the other side of the weeds the bottom drops off to 12 feet then to 20.
Locted in this area are big fish and numbers of them and most importanly is that in July and August their is also, in each of the four areas 8' X 8' floating docks on barrels.
This will of course attrach food / bait the musky like to eat but more so for me are the women who frequent these areas to sunbath in various stages of undress.
HOT DAM!
Now these are for sure spots on the spot.
Married or not, I aint DEAD!

Location: Greenfield, WI | The outside edge of a very thick cabbage weed line on a very steep drop off. It gives us three options, cast over the top of the cabbage, parallel to the outside edge, and out into the depths. Every option is a good one. |
|
| |
|
| Saddles, especially multidimensionally complex ones
Rock and weed edge fingers or points
All this combined and you have prime spot on the spot on the spot!  |

Location: Presque Isle Wisconsin | Hey --I like every one of the structures mentioned above.If I had to pick one stucture I like above all others it would be a small table-top sized spire of rocks in the middle of nowhere surrounded by deep water on all sides likely to be ignored or overlooked by the vast majority of fishermen.It would top out at about 25' and be located on a cisco ,smelt,trout, forage based lake. |

Location: Oconto Falls, WI | It's a toss up, but I would have to pick an underwater point dropping to deep water. I don't want the skinny little point, but one that forms a large feeding flat extending into the main lake a good distance before it plummets to deep water. Optimum depth of the flat on the point would be 20'.
Second favorite would be a mid-lake hump dropping to deep water. Top this baby out at 15-20 feet, put some rocks and a bit of sand grass on it, and I'm happy. Put at least a second hump nearby, and the saddle between them can be golden. |

Location: Eastern Ontario | Mine has to have everything. Start out with a point that is kinda like a spine and saddle with rock and weeds, at least 3 different kinds too. With deep water access on at least 2 sides and better if it's 3 or 4. Actually the smaller the better too, like all of that in 20-30 yards. |

Location: Ft. Wayne Indiana | My favorite here in Indiana is shallow weeds, just because we have no other stucture to cast to. I do like open water a lot but catch more fish out of the weeds.
If I could pick a piece of structure to fish, I am with Johnny, a LONG rock finger, with 60+ feet of water just off one side, and to really make my hair stand up.... make it about midnight, so I can't see a thing and pray the beast doesn't hit right next to the boat and make me fall in or poop my pants. |

Location: God's Country......USA..... Western Wisconsin | The magical spot to me is a large weed flat that has a weed point leading out toward deeper water with the end of the bar turning to rock while falling off sharply into deep water. Better yet would be an inside turn on the bar near deep water with rock as well.
