| Question 1)
Many times, beyond count. I usually give a fish time to set back up again. Depending on conditions, that can be minutes or hours, but will go back after her with the same lure.
2)
Any change in conditions can change the 'hot' presentation to cool or cold, so learning what the changes in conditions do to the fish's behavior is important, and varies widely by body of water and strain of muskie.
3) Bucktails are part of my everyday arsenal. I like black with orange, purple with orange or pink, and all the other standard patterns in that order. The black bait is my dark day lure, the purple my bright day lure.
LOTS of variables in the equasion to the questions you ask, and the answers may be too general as a result.
Hope this helps some! |
