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

Tandem Indiana

What color main blade?

Spinnerbait pattern (feel free to suggest a particular pattern)

Chartreuse mixes (e.g., Cht/blue back, Cht & White, Cht Shad, Green Goddess,
Bluegill)

Thanks for your help.
