Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
- For Muskellunge
Use a figure-eight retrieve at the boat to entice followers to strike close to the boat.
- For White crappie
Target submerged structure like brush piles and docks; crappie relate strongly to cover.
