Location: Sycamore, IL | Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on: Why do some muskie lakes seem to have a good top water bite and others do not?

| maybe it has something to do with the amount of forage available to them.  |

Location: Sycamore, IL | So lakes with a lot of forage tend to have a poor top water bite? What does littoral acres mean?

Location: Breezy Point, MN | All lakes have a topwater bite, you just need to pinpoint the best time of year. While most lakes here in MN and WI have a top water bite from late June through Late September, reservoirs in OH and KY have a peak surface bait bite in October. Lots of these reasons are based on water temperatures. MN's top water bite really peaks in September with falling water temperatures. Good luck,

Location: Tonka, MN | Agree with the shallow water. In my experience, this pertains to smaller lakes; you can fish em more precisely/efficiently and cover more water per area of the lake as well as the info provided above.
