Musky America Magazine December Edition

Lure Selection... A Monthly Profile By: Craig Sandell © 2017 Before we get too deep into this, remember, the month of May is a truncated fishing month, and the month of November is typically cold weather musky fishing using live bait. The table shown below is the basis for the graphs that display a picture of lure production over the seasonal months. May June July Aug. Sept. Oct. Bucktail 12 128 77 124 107 16 Surface 2 93 102 188 153 4 Crank 16 16 13 17 19 18 Jerk 1 7 11 16 37 25 Live 7 2 4 3 28 74 The chart shown below provides a more detailed perspective on what lures worked well for each of the months of the season. As you can see, there are some predictable lure patterns in the chart presentation. One of the interesting patterns, though, is related to crank baits.
