The muskies will be where their food is. I live close to Pineview, a world class tiger musky fishery, and have caught many Tigers.
During the winter, when the perch are in deeper water, the Tigers will follow. Spoons tipped with minnows or perch meat (if legal in your area) are a good bet. Keep a close eye on the sonar. Sometimes they will come in at different areas of the water column, including right under the ice. I have found agressive jigging to be more effective than dead sticking. [
