Enter The Night

When the water starts to warm in summer in the northern part of their range, many muskies go nocturnal. Why do they change their pattern?

Warmer water temperature and more recreational boat activity are part of the reason. i have come to believe a major reason muskies feed at night is the lack of fishing pressure. Years ago i started night fishing and found it very productive. my experience over time indicated the size of the muskies i caught was considerably larger than my daytime catches. my conclusion was that many of the largest muskies in the lakes i prefer to fish may feed only at night. 

Muskies have very good night vision and they are more likely to strike rather than follow after darkness covers a lake.
