ErieCaster,

Snowmobile for sure if you have one, no questions there...

As for baits, most of the reports that I am seeing and hearing are on silver & blue "little cleos" Rapalas and other blue/silver lures. When they are on fire it doesn't seem to matter, and sometimes I think that when you have 75% of the guys all hearing something from a single post or two and everyone switches to blue/silver... Then it makes perfect sense that most fish are being caught on blue/silver.

Point is, have a few lures and try different things. Swedish pimples are a good "go-to" bait, but pick something that looks good and try it.

Tip with shiners and make them look alive and dancing...
