I had a very similar conversation with Gregg Thomas while out in the boat with him a couple of days. His thought was that a muskie is a muskie no matter where it lives and they all feed at night at some point or another.

Our job as anglers is to find the right time, place and fishing application to have success with night fishing for muskies.

Some bodies of water don't have a night walleye bite, makes sense that some don't have a night muskie bite either. Predators feeding activily during daylight hours may not have to feed at night.

Yeap, especially if you time moon phases, gin clear with a blue bird day, barometric changes, and day time boat pressure can increase night bite intensity.
I'm not a guide but all of these played a trigger to my bigger night bites.
