I've heard the difference in musky strains determines spawning habitat...
So as long as the musky and pike aren't using the same areas... The musky fry aren't eaten...
From what I've seen musky on the st.lawrence spawn in bays... Mostly
And the pike go up creeks and rivers...
From what I've heard...
There are pike and musky in the st.lawrence... Different areas have more or less of each...
And in one area I know of... Pike are almost non existent... We used to catch a bunch every year... Now I can count on one hand how many I catch...
Now I'm bableing on...
