What are the best light windows for muskie?
Muskie eyes are built for low light: a rod-rich retina and enough sensitivity to hunt at dawn, dusk, and under heavy cloud, when their visual edge over prey is greatest. The classic windows are the last two hours of daylight, first light, and any abrupt light change — a storm front rolling in, a bright day suddenly going overcast. Midday sun on calm, clear water is the toughest draw, though big fish still eat over deep structure where the light is filtered. Log your follows: a fish that trails the bait at noon frequently eats the same bait in the same spot at sunset.
