Muskie can occupy any depth of the water column depending upon their size and feeding habits; Smaller muskies usually inhabit the same locations as Bass and Walleye (weedlines, thick cover, and submerged wood); bigger, more mature muskies are usually near deeper water haunts and feed on some of the lakes higher protein baitfish like smelts, herring or suckers. Trolling or casting bigger baits near off shore humps, shoals, or drop offs can produce bigger fish.
