Wood

Experienced muskie anglers know how much muskie like to relate to wood.  Stumps, fallen trees, sunken logs, timber and brush are important types of cover and they can attract muskie in all types of water.  Muskie will relate to wood in shallower water during the spring and fall, but as water temperatures warm up, you are going to find most muskie in deeper water.  Steep drop-offs with fish cribs, brush piles or even stump fields are good places to target muskie in the summer.
