Otisco night topwater

[justtracytrolling]

Fish are showing up but doesn't seem to be enough moon yet to get them to stop missing. I am seeing them cruising and and trying just a little. One spot I raised 2 multiple times but never got touched. When I moved I shined and there were 5 various sized tigers floating around my boat literally sticking out of the water. By no means is this bite easy, but for any ambitious musky angler it's worth trying just for the boatside explosions...look for a very flat bright night and cover water. Stay with noisy baits from size 13 to 18... Don't shine your light till after you've worked an area and even then not if there a lots of boats out. Lights can be educational for future trips, but they spook tigers and walleye both big time, and please respect other anglers and don't blow up every bit of shoreline just because you want to look with your eyes not your rod and ears. Again not an easy way to catch a tiger here, but only way I know to fish em exclusively topwater.
