late september muskie lures?

[Guest]

What'd be a good lure to use? I was hopeing to use a new top raider i just got but i was wondering if the water will still be warm enough. Thanks

First thing is...where did you get a new Top Raider??? I haven't seen one on the shelves anywhere for many months.

Late September is probably the best time of the entire year for top water. So if you're thinking of using top water, great choice. Just like with any other time of year though, it's a trial and error deal. You never know what's going to be the hot bait on any given day.

I bought my top raider at the gander mountain in Minnetonka about a month ago, but last time i was there i don't remember seeing any. although i think there was one of those super top raiders.

Start with the lures you have confidence in, then don't be afraid to experiment. I prefer the biggest bucktails you can find. You can work them shallow and deep, slow roll or burn them in. The big gals are looking for a big meal this time of year so think big! The bottom line...Let the fish tell you what they want!
