When and how to fish it

Prime time is warm water over shallow structure: weed flats, rock bars, and river mouths where pike and musky hunt high. Use faster, splashier retrieves in wind and stained water; switch to a slow, subtle wake on calm evenings. Explosive surface strikes are the whole point keep reeling until you feel the fish.
