I'm from Texas and I recently moved to Denver. I'm about to go fishing in a lake that is stocked with Tiger Muskie. I have bass baits (spinnerbaits, crankbaits, topwater, etc.). What do I need in order to catch Tiger Muskie? spinners? plugs? (what's a "plug" anyway? (A plug to me means pretty much any hard artificial.)

I've had luck with a jig and minnow. Spoons also work well, such as a daredevil.
Good luck!

Tiger Muskie Lures

walk the dawg with a big topwater like a Zara spook or something - some of those spinner baits might do well also. big inline spinners and stick baitls like a suick are good this time of year. work them quick and keep the bait in the water as it comes to the boat. sometimes they'll hit right at boatside
use a good beefy reel too no plastic inside. I've had a walleye sized muskie strip everything out inside a reel that had plastic gears and stops. ZZzzzzing

Your spinner and crankbaits should work but also try a live shiner with a bobber about 3-4 feet above. Muskie are picky and harder to catch than bass.
Also try 5-6" cranks and stickbaits.

I always used large dardevil with a minnow hooked behind or large plug, my gandpa always used to talk about using live mice, rats, or baby chickens with a hook tied to them, never tried that though, not even sure if that would be considered leagal nowadays
