Well, this is of course nothing more than my own theory. Take the body structure of the fish. Long slender powerfull fast swimmer, but poor ability to mauver through cover. The idea is that the fish will hide in the cover faceing the outside edge, focusing thier feeding effort on fish on the outer edge of the cover seeing as how bait fish are much more manuverable in the weeds and stumps. OR, they will locate on open water structure. As well, muskies can occasionally be found cruising the shallows. With high water temps I would use a deep diving crank and longline it. Position the boat directly over structure and to the outside edge of cover. Go about 2 mph and pump the rod on occasion. Fish in the morning and evening for best results on the most active fish. Down size your lures. I personally am not a fan of the huge musky size lures that a lot of guys use.<br><br>UNICORN CATCHER F.L.P.
