Muskies hold in these areas for several weeks recuperating from the spawn. River mouths and large shallow flats adjacent to spawning sites offer dark-bottom areas that warm quickly and attract preyfish, such as suckers and drum. The first fish often is followed by three or four more, especially if other boats don't surround you and push fish off the spot." Finding the first fish of the day often is the key to success.

Now that was only 8 catches in 3 hours of peak time, if you concider how many pike you catch in the same time floating with shiners then it shows how ineffective the lures really are here for pike. The only thing that have some moderate success for me is the big #6/0 spinner. Popper 4/0 : 2 catches ( lots of miss hits ) I did some more testing during another peak time: ( Almost exactly the same as EzFishLure's setup, just a different reel ) The problem is they don't bite on lures. The problem is not the gear, I have strong gear. If going for pike you dont need to cast far so this is an ok setup :D especialy combined with a kyak :D Originally posted by darrren:i use cosmocast and a cyclone55 is to strong for any of the rods atm i use it with 0.6 floro and can use drag 5 safly hope this helps
