Advice on catching summer muskie?

[MuskieBait]

My buddy first time fishing for muskies...we were looking from a high bridge at the river when he saw this muskie...he grabbed my rod and tossed a bass size spinnerbait at it. It was a 37" muskie...



Later in the day, we were fishing a very shallow bay with pencil reeds and my buddy was tossing a bass size spinnerbait again. You can see the spinnerbait on this 41" muskie...



I could have pushed him off the boat had I not need him to work the trolling motor while I cast for my first muskie.



BTW, don't sweat it too much...just cast a good enough size lure (bass size) and work the weed edges, drop offs, and weed flats...and you'll find one sooner or later. We'll try hard to make the muskie trip I talked about in the fall. There is a really good population of muskies so you have a good chance at catching them.
