Thanks for mentioning the lure size thing. My experience absolutely has to make me disagree with the whole big lure big fish theory. My biggest musky at 47" came on what would be considered a kind of big bass lure a seedless frog but small for a musky lure biggest walleyes 2, 28" and biggest bass a few 21-22" all on regular sized lures 4" or so.

And with the musky it was not an accident, I was not fishing for bass. I target musky at certain times on certain lakes with smaller lures. I say it all depends on what the fish are eating. If what is predominantly available on a water body for even big predators is smaller fish then that's what they'll be used to eating. Visa versa if they're used to eating bigger meals.

Now that I have enough daylight to fish after work I can get out fishing with more favorable weather on my side. I was fishing weekends good or bad fishing forecasts. I'm sure some consistent pressure patterns will do wonders, that's what I believe is the most important factor.

If I could pick the dream time to fish it would be after 3 or more stable pressure days with a front coming in! I'm probably stuck at work most of the times that pattern happens haha
