Which Spinnerbait & Buzzbaits best for Mohawksin, NWC?
Secret Weapon Lures is donating spinnerbaits and buzzbaits to participants
of the Northwoods Classic this year. I'm wondering what lures will be most welcome for Mohawksin. This lake on the Wisconsin river system is stained with abundant aquatic vegetation, submerged, emergent, and matted on the surface. Most of the lake seems to be about five to ten feet in depth, with just a few holes deeper than 20 feet. There are several feeder rivers or streams, docks, and bridges with riprap and pilings. Evidently this is the home of numerous of pleasure craft there throughout the summer, so there's plenty of open water, but large tracts of the lake are marked "hazardous" due to plentiful stumps. So... whether or not you'll be there, if you were fishing the lake during the day in late August, what would be your preference? What size buzzbait should do best on Mohawksin in late August? 3/16-ounce 5/16-ounce 9/16-ounce What buzzbait models would work best for daytime fishing in that stained water, over and through vegetation? Wounded Minnow White Shad Chartreuse & White Midnight Snack What size spinnerbait would work best? 3/16-ounce 5/16-ounce 9/16-ounce 13/16-ounce Which blade combination? Tandem willowleaf Double willowleaf Single willowleaf Double Colorado Single Colorado Tandem Indiana Single Indiana Tandem Turtleback (mag willow) Single Turtleback What color main blade? Gold Nickel Chartreuse White Red Spinnerbait pattern (feel free to suggest a particular pattern) Dark (e.g., Golden Shad, Midnight Snack, Rock Craw, Firetiger Perch) Chartreuse mixes (e.g., Cht/blue back, Cht & White, Cht Shad, Green Goddess, Bluegill) Light (White shad, Wht Shiner, Wounded Minnow) Clearwaters (e.g.,k TN Shad, Citrus Shad, Baby Bass, Blue Shad) Thanks for your help. -- Joe Haubenreich Secret Weapon Lures Web: http://secretweaponlures.com --------------------------------------- Better designs... better lures.... better results ---------------------------------------~ 0"))) |
I won't be there, but Midnight Snack with a single colorado (nickel, of
course) would have been my choice. "Joe Haubenreich" (removethis)swljoe-at-secretweaponlures.com wrote in message ... Secret Weapon Lures is donating spinnerbaits and buzzbaits to participants of the Northwoods Classic this year. I'm wondering what lures will be most welcome for Mohawksin. |
Do you mean as a buzzbait or spinnerbait?

The smallmouth and pike liked a black skirted spinnerbait with a silver willowleaf last year when I fished it after yall all went home. 1/4 ounce size, no name bait I bought in Rhinelander. Like to throw cheap baits there with all the pike. |
As much *luck* as I've had with the spinnerbaits, you know I'd have to try
the buzzbait as well! "Joe Haubenreich" (removethis)swljoe-at-secretweaponlures.com wrote in message ... Do you mean as a buzzbait or spinnerbait? "Charles B. Summers, QOF." wrote in message ...

What size buzzbait should do best on Mohawksin in late August? 3/16-ounce 5/16-ounce 9/16-ounce *** It all depends on what you're intending to win, the bass or the non-bass catagory. I would say that the 5/16 would work well for the bass, but on that crazy lake, I wouldn't rule out the 9/16 either. I've had smallies that whacked muskie lures on numerous occasions. I know the muskie and pike prefer the larger size. What buzzbait models would work best for daytime fishing in that stained water, over and through vegetation? Wounded Minnow White Shad Chartreuse & White Midnight Snack ***I grab two different ones, depending on my mood, either Midnight Snack or Wounded Minnow. What size spinnerbait would work best? 3/16-ounce 5/16-ounce 9/16-ounce 13/16-ounce ***If I had to limit it to one size, 5/16. Which blade combination? Tandem willowleaf Double willowleaf Single willowleaf Double Colorado Single Colorado Tandem Indiana Single Indiana Tandem Turtleback (mag willow) Single Turtleback ***Again, limiting to one combination, Tandem Turtleback. What color main blade? Gold Nickel Chartreuse White Red ***Probably gold turtleback for the main blade with a small chrome colorado. Spinnerbait pattern (feel free to suggest a particular pattern) Dark (e.g., Golden Shad, Midnight Snack, Rock Craw, Firetiger Perch) Chartreuse mixes (e.g., Cht/blue back, Cht & White, Cht Shad, Green Goddess, Bluegill) Light (White shad, Wht Shiner, Wounded Minnow) Clearwaters (e.g.,k TN Shad, Citrus Shad, Baby Bass, Blue Shad) ***Again, depends on the day, but the patterns that have worked well for me over the years have been Firetiger, Midnight Snack, Wounded Minnow and Baby Bass. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |
