[QUOTE="Grnwing, post: 4468984, member: 14910"] There's small river I love to fish for Muskies in and it sounds like what you are describing. I throw 20lb mono with 1oz white spinnerbait with willow leaf blades. I do not use a leader and lose very few fish to the line breaking, I may go to a 40lb fluorocarbon leader tied with bimini twist if I am throwing oversized soft plastics(Zoom Fluke or Bass Assassins). I don't really target them in August so not sure if this pattern would work but in the spring, I will burn the bait from the back side of the eddies towards the moving water side(casting upstream). They will hit it fast and hard and dive deep, boat positioning is crucial. I will have another rod rigged with oversized Rapala's in the shad rap and floating minnow and will work those with 3 quick snaps and a pause, I will have a lot more follow ups with that than with the spinnerbait. I have also noticed that watching your water level and flow can be very important to how the fish will respond. Since it is a 4 hour drive for me, I make sure conditions are favorable before heading to the river. [/QUOTE]
