Tackle Recommendations

Spinners:

Spinners (white, black, chartreuse, yellow), Hot Fire Tiger,
Buzz Baits (white, black, chartreuse, yellow, black & white skirts), Buzz-N-Devle
Using larger lures has produced many more fish. Adding a stinger hook with a rubber tube skirt increases the lure’s profile and adds action.

Crank Baits:

Spoons:

Johnson Silver Minnow (chrome, gold later in the season)
Daredevle Spoons (five of diamonds, red & white)
Barney Spoons (frog, black, yellow, white)
Doctor Spoon 3 ¼ & 4 ¼ (silver)
Williams Wobbler Spoon (sizes 60–80)
Williams Whitefish (sizes 70–80)
Tip: Remove the treble hook and replace it with a single hook (Either 3/0 or 4/0). Adding a white Berkley Power Bait split-tail trailer has proven to increase success by adding action and scent while enhancing the lure’s profile. (White Mister Twister is also good.)

¼ – ½ oz. jigs (white, green, pink, black)
Mister Twister 3” or 4” single tails (white, chartreuse, yellow, pink, black)
Body Baits: Canadian Wigglers, Hot-N-Tots (chrome/black, orange, chrome/blue), Shad Raps, Rapala Husky Jerks (chrome/blue, orange, clown, chrome/black), Jointed Rapala (blue/white)

Spoons:

Crank Baits:

Luhr Jensen A.C. Plug (6” – 8”)
Berkley Frenzy Pro Series Diver (8” – 10”)
Tip: When fishing for Lakers, use split shot to get the desired trolling depth. At normal trolling speed a size 0 split shot will provide 6 ft. of depth and a size 1 split shot will provide 5 ft. of depth. Simply add or subtract split shot to adjust the lure depth. This will allow for easier rigging & more flexibility in comparison to using standard in-line sinkers.
