| What can a guy expect as the most preferred water temp and how it affects musky location? What temps do you want to look for in "Ideal" Conditions on a rock bar, verses a weed flat or other type of structure? Throw open water into that also. | |

| OK, so what the hell is the reply on this one, eh? | |
| | |
| I'm no pro, but I have one opinion here. When the water hits the low 60's start fishing open water for suspended fish. | |
| | |
| I to think their comfort zone is 60-70 degrees. When it starts getting higher there is generally less dissolved oxygen and it all plays into fish activeness. | |
| | |
| 65 to 69 I find the fish to be the most active in my years of records. June and Sept when I get those temps are always my best months. | |

| Fish are cold blooded,,, so the warmer the water the more active they become,
Because we haven't run into them in the warmer times of the year dose not mean that they are not more active. We must become better at our interpretation. We might not be fishing where,, or at the right time of the activity,, remember fish are NOT active all the time,,, "once or twice a day on an average fish day".
However fishing for bass in cooling lakes where water temps. exceed 100* they seem to shut down, possibly for survival,,, I could be wrong but they do get pretty pail looking. 1/2 poached. | |
