I have caught Tigers in many areas from Washington state to the midwest. I don't claim to be an expert but can tell you of what I have experienced. Tigers are creatures of habit just like their parents,They like weed edges, heavy timber, deep water and most of all forage. Don't try and over think it, Try and match the baitfish in your area with your lure selection. I have caught on magnum dawgs to small bucktails and don't forget topwater. They do tend to like cooler water more than natural musky, that is the pike in them. have fun!
Release em all |

| One other thing to keep in mind, a lot of the tigers we've had in the boat were caught on smaller baits. Not every one of them, but lots of them.
Good luck,

Location: Ogden, Ut | I never seem to do very good in the early spring. Most of my time seems to be spent working the kinks out. A good percentage of my success is on jointed baits; you can move them slow but they still look like they are moving rapidly.

| My experiences with tigers has showed they also seem to prefer bright/gaudy colored baits, especially the traditional pike color red/white or chartreuse. I don't have a ton of experience with tigers though. |

| lots of tiger lakes here in the twin cities,,,I alot of times stop after work has I commute past a few and wade in shorts,,,Im a lure hoarder but with tigers its hard to just not throw a double bladed spinnerbait,, if you can find a CJ's double willow its a tiger killer,,me too with bright colors
I know one long time tiger fisherman who has written articles who swears by a doctor spoon.
the state record holder Josh Stevenson loves spoon plugs
