Lederer is so laid back when on the water that it’s a wonder he hooks anything at all, much less a muskie.
Here’s what the muskie masters will tell you.
Fred Lederer
Trolling the number 41 Sisson on 50 to 55 feet deep will get the lure down to about 10 feet.
An engineer by trade, Fred spends a considerable amount of his free time on muskie waters.
Alum Creek muskies grow big, according to Heyob. Research showed that muskies stocked into Alum Creek in September [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 1990, ranged from 41 to 48 inches in just five years. The abundant gizzard shad contributed to the phenomenal growth rate that is still a trademark of the lake. Elmer believes there is one muskie per acre topping 27 inches.
Weaver is a hands-on kind of guy and prefers casting to muskies rather than trolling for them. Lure selection revolves around what works for Don, and for now it’s the newer Number 41 Sissons crankbaits. These little baits have taken 70 percent of the muskies Weaver has caught. The Tennessee Shad, Firetiger and Blue Shad colors.
Heyob is a long-time fisheries biologist with the Ohio Division of Wildlife. Few anglers are as knowledgeable as Heyob when it comes to muskie physiology and behavior. He’s been landing muskies since 1982 and has seen around 500 fish landed in his boat.
Soft plastics haven’t produced too many big fish for Weaver over the years, though he knows a lot of guys that use them. The Bull Dawg is popular on Ohio’s Leesville Lake, Weaver’s favorite muskie hole. He occasionally ties on a Mepps Giant Killer with a white tail and a red feather or a black tail and red feather combination.
How does he do it? What are the secrets to his lure selection, presentation and undeniable success?

A little inside information never hurt anyone and Heyob is eager to share it, especially about baits. The best muskie lures are always the ones that can’t be bought anymore. One example would be the old Bagley Small Fry Shad that had brass wire hangers that ran completely through the bait. Heyob believes the baits haven’t been manufactured for two decades.
At last count Weaver had landed well over 600 muskies. He shoots for about 250 days a year on the water but settles for what he can get. He goes out for about three to four hours early in the morning and then back out that same evening for another few hours.
For several years Don Weaver was the President of the Ohio Huskie Muskie Club.

To date [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Fred has caught well over 200 muskies, many of them in Ohio’s Clear Fork reservoir near Mansfield. Lederer does a lot of his fishing on Lake Hudson in southern Michigan,and also wets a line at Lake St. Clair on his more adventuresome days.
The muskie master is a breed of his own. He can boast of hooking a hundred, 200, maybe even 300 muskies of the big predators. A 40-inch fish doesn’t even turn his head and a 20-pound muskie barely rates mentioning.
Alum Creek is Elmer’s favorite. It’s just north of Columbus [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] close to home and it produces some big muskies.
Presenting muskies a variety of options is the name of the game, according to Lederer. Trolling up to about 6 MPH with lines stretched out behind the boat allows muskies to pick and choose the lure color and style they find appealing. With three anglers in the boat, two lures are kept in or just behind the prop wash while two are allowed to follow further back and deeper. To create a spread, planer boards hold the remaining two lures out to the side.
