Fishing the ER Chain? Go with smaller bucktails and surface baits, muskies have been laying just off the first breaks ambushing baits coming over them at high speeds. Finding the warmest water and speed seem to be the key the last couple days. Make sure you're casting past the fish and bring the bait back over them fast!

Water temps have come down, pushing fish a bit deeper. Yesterday we found water temps from 57 to 67 degrees, so it's important to know how wind/sunlight/current affect water temps... go find that warm water!
