Spooning for Musky

Post by **Snidley** » Mon Mar 14, 2005 1:07 pm

If any of you guys want to try out those kind of big Pike spoons there is a guy in Mississauga that has a ton of them and i think he would be interested in moving them out wholesale. The chap's name is Lou and he used to run a fishing store called Lucky Lous. Now he runs Western automotive at 905-625-9893. He's in mississauga and if you call him and ask about his selection of Pike/Musky gear he will fill you in. Last time i was there he had lots of Cisco Kids as well. Those big spoons are probably the ticket particularly early in the season when big girls are looking for big dead and dying overwinter baitfish to help them pre and post spawn. Regards Snidley

I'm going to be field testing "Canadian Wiggler" Cisco & Cisco King spoons this Spring, along with the Canadian Wiggler Trolling Bait and the Jointed Double-Vision for the musky.
This will be my first year casting and trolling the spoons for the big toothy critters on Lake ST Clair and the Detroit River. So will let you know how it works out!

I got one on L St Clair with the Williams Whitefish 6" and a chartruse twister tail running with 8 oz. trolling weight in the pro wash. If you are married to lucky Strike I believe their Canoe spoon is very similar to a Whitefish spoon at least in it's action but not its quality esp. finsh. Regards Snidley.

Appreciate the different perspectives on this subject - thanks for your comments. Certainly , something different to try when other patterns are slow and conditions become tough.
