This is the first year for fishing musky without touching the bass or walleye gear. I have been out on Tonka at least eight times since opener and only moved a few sub 30 fish on the main basin. I guess my question is what are the best color selection and bait sizes that work for some of you guys. And second I would like to use jerk baits more this year, what styles have the best results.


The local hunters seem a little tight lipped or just a little to general to be of any help.
Thanks

Tonka from I have heard has been a little slow to start, good color are browns, firetiger, you can get by with a hanful of baits,

Motor oil Dawgs
Phantoms, Natural and firetiger
Topwater,
Cowgirls

I would look for the new emerging cabage, otherwise deep milfoil edges. With increased pressure people are keeping tighter lip to keep some patterns to themselves.

Chaska, we have put just two in the boat this year but have moved some tanks. The first came on the weed edge/break on a pearl/gray bulldawg medium rip retrive, the other on a perch colored phantom this one was on top but near the edge just last night 06/26. My best jerk bait on tonka has been a green and black bobbie bait, this one gets down a bit for working deeper weeds. Tonka has definately started slow but soon the cowgirls will start getting eaten out there regularly. Good luck

It seems like I’m on the right track. Just have to keep at em.
I have just enough tackle to fill a pedestal pal sr. and most are promising.

Thanks
