By ryan-mcmahon July 6, 2012 0. As a general rule, start fishing on the deep edges of weeds at sunset, then move shallower as the night goes on. A surprise, at least initially, was the effectiveness of jerkbaits, too, especially those that hang neutral on the pause.Structurally, target areas are really simple. Boats should be clean and organized so you don’t trip or break anything, and above all, have your net ready and within reach, because you are likely to need it at a moment’s notice. My biggest muskie, 53 inches long and wide as a birch log, was caught 2 hours after dark. It doesn’t seem to matter if the moon is full or dark, but enough light so the muskies can see outlines of the bait against the sky is best. Soft plastics like the Bulldawg can work very well, especially on breaks.One of the last lures I'll choose to try, and they are always tested from the back of the boat, are surface lures. Rocky humps, points and bars can be fantastic at night.Bays are another great location because muskies tend to hang out off the main points near back bays during the day, then move into the shallows at night. One of those new baits is the Hardcore NOI-Z wakebait, a hinged lure that uses a hard-knocking rattle, a rear prop and a feathered treble hook to draw ferocious strikes. Which is bigger muskie or pike? On clear nights, usually starlight is enough, as muskies see quite well with minimal light. However, Muskie do grow to be much bigger than Pike.
Muskie fishing can get pretty tough during the summer, but you can really increase your chances of catching one if you fish at night. Night-fishing for muskies is truly nothing new. I went to a spillway today and saw 5 tiger muskies (they stock tigers there) and I was there for 4 hours and got nothing, but 2 guys there got muskies. I will generally concentrate on larger, more complex structures at night. These are the ones that jump out at you when you look at a map, and they usually have the muskie boats on them during the day.These are great spots for everything they offer, but the odds of catching fish on them is often much better after dark when many of the smarter and larger specimens -- via some bad daytime experiences -- have decided it's a better idea to prowl under the cover of darkness. I've caught many muskies on a weighted Burt jerkbait. You MUST know the exact position of the others in the boat at all times. There’s basically one key to having success with muskies at night: Fish slow and methodically. How big do Muskie get? Muskie hunters notoriously do their best figure-8s when they can actually see a fish, and this dim light is all you need to see one as you gasp for air and do your best to trigger the fish to bite. These baits come across the surface with a The hardest part of fishing with a topwater is avoiding the mistake of setting the hook too soon. Because the muskellunge can be so difficult to catch, there isn't a lot of concrete evidence as to the best time of day. Black offers the most contrast against the dim light of the sky. The late summer and early fall nights following a warm, humid day seem to produce the most big fish. They are capable of taking prey up to two-thirds of their body length due to their large stomachs. 28 Do muskies bite at night? And often, some key areas start to show where you can nearly always count on one being "there" -- when fish are in a feeding mood.My general plan of attack after dark is to fish larger structures that I have completely to myself.
