I will be fishing an area that I know holds several muskies in 2-5ft of water with very thick lily pads present. I have never fished anything weedless for muskies and I am looking for ideas. I know a little about rigging weedless for Bass so is it simply a matter of upsizing my presentation? I am going to try a large weedless frog and maybe a weedless spoon with a trailer. Any other ideas? I do appreciate any detailed techniques that you come up with.
Triggering Muskies in the pads...what to do!?
I've caught several muskie unintentionally while bass fishing in heavy vegetation. Several did indeed hit on a weedless frog. I've also had some hit on a Texas rig worm or lizard with the sinker pegged. A couple also hit a large (1/2 oz. or bigger) buzz bait around the edge of vegetation. You might even try using large minnows on a balloon rig. Good luck!
Reply:Try texas rigging a big plastic worm (lightest weight you can cast with) and drag it through the pads. I would go 10" or longer worm. I hope this helps.
Reply:Jerk baits are the best . My favorite is Mister Twister Sassy Shad
