I would add a treble to the middle of the boilermaker, it helped me out a lot this past summer. Before doing so I lost a handful of muskies because the lure was T-boned.
This video couldnt have come at a better time I target a river that I want to catch a topwater muskie in and it and have been trying to figure out what bait would be best and I'm going with the whopper plopper youd suggested thanks for the awesome content.
I fish a small river that gets a normal amount of pressure. I like to use prop baits and they do decent. But do you think big fish can get fooled on them still or if everyone is throwing them will they wise up?
@taylormyers I'd say if you're concerned that prop baits might be overused on your particular river, maybe try using a small walk the dog style topwater instead. Good luck out there!
