Seems like the same things work well for me every year
forage minnow, marmooska or wolfram for bluegills/crappies
frosty or exude plastic for perch
Lake Trout - love the northland spoons and vertiglow from custom jigsnspins, but I end up going through a bunch of each kind every year cause the damn lakers chew the paint off the spoons right down to bare metal! You guys have that problem with paint on the pimples? I've gone so far as coating all my new spoons at the beginning of the season with a couple coats of clear enamel, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
