I usually do pretty well during the summer on poppers of various kinds in the lake I live on and also the river that feeds it. I have found through the advice of others that the "Miss Prissy" do about as well as any I have tried if you can find them. I have turned corks down myself and made them but it is much easier to go to Wally World and spend a buck or so for a Miss Prissy. I know these should work for you since I am only about 2 hours south of you and know people up around you area who swear by them.
