WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO FISH MUSKIES? Louie Spray Speaks Spring and fall are generally considered the best times, but it hasn't proved out that way for me. I caught one World Record, 59½ pounds in July and another one, 61 lbs., 13 oz., in August. During either of these months they are supposed to have sore teeth and not bite. But it stands to reason they have to eat, sore teeth or not. So, Muskies can be caught during the hot season, but fish them deeper. Early morning is by far the best time if you want to fish the shoreline. If you can find a good Muskie lake where there are bars quite far out from the shore, say 8 to 12 feet deep, keep passing over it with any good bait right down about a few feet off the bottom and you are apt to get yourself a nice fish. River fishing is excellent late in the fall…fish sunny side of the stream. It is, I believe, impossible to place in writing the one best way to catch a Muskie, because I don't believe there is any one best way! So, use your imagination and ingenuity. Don't be afraid or ashamed to try an idea that comes to mind, no matter how sharp the guy you are fishing with is supposed to be. Old timers, such as myself, flub our dub too! And by no means should you be ashamed to troll for them. It's a little work rowing the boat, but it's a darn good way to hook a Muskie. (Guides will kill me for mentioning this!) So, in conclusion, I just want to say that I don't pretend to be the best Muskie fisherman in the world, or to know everything there is to know about it, but if you will follow somewhat the routine as
