Can I catch muskies at night?

Out-of-the-Way Muskies

Muskies will often retreat to deeper water and inactivity on lakes where there is heavy daytime boat traffic. Though primarily sight feeders, the big predators switch gears a bit and the night bite turns on.

Topwater baits twitched across the surface can result in savage strikes. Make sure to feel the weight of the fish to avoid an airborne missile with treble hooks flying back towards you in the darkness. Target weedbeds that top out just below the water's surface.
