Muskies or Pike this time of year?

[Skunk City]

In the past few years as my addiction to fishing has gotten worse, I have learned that there is no "off season". Fishing 12 months a year has enabled me to see how these fish act in every temperature and condition. That being said, I have caught Pike (and 1 Muskie) all through winter. They are usually very fat and will put up a surprisingly good fight. I've done well with big, bright jerkbaits slow cranked with pauses mixed it. Swimbaits slow rolled will also produce.
