Indiana - Webster Lake
It may be only 774 acres, but Webster has been stocked with muskies since 1980 and holds good numbers of them up to 42 pounds. Cast big bucktail spinners and topwater baits over shallow grassbeds in June. As summer comes on, switch to oversize crankbaits such as the 10-inch Jake and 9-inch Grandma in shad patterns in the middle of the lake, where muskies often feed on big gizzard shad. If you can find schools of these baitfish on your depthfinder before you start casting, you'll improve your odds dramatically. Mike Hulbert Guide Service, 419-553-6570; mikehulbert.com
