Fished Pineview like I always do . Caught lots of smallies ( about 50 ) , but most where small . About 10 of them where about 12 " . Never fished senkos before today . Wow those things really work . Hooked a muskie on my third cast in the wee hours on a big topwater lure . only had one hook in the fish and he thru it when he got close to shore . Looked to be about 30" . I pretty sure I hooked another on a tandem spinner bait . Never got a good look at it but it hammered it hard and spun me around in my tube . I know some day I will have to deal with those teeth .Seen a 40 " caught by some guys in a boat . Got my camera out and this thing did a tail dance right by the boat . Missed the pic , but got a few of it before it showed them who was boss . It broke off while they where trying to unhook it . They told me they caught one other today and that was all . Now my baitcasting reel is in a rats nest , so I better get it fix before next weekend gets here . Most fish caught today where from shore . As it warmed up the seem to go deep and bite was slower but still a good fishing day for me .

Hellsangler69,
What size and color Senko were you using for the Smallies? How were you rigging it? I have some Senkos but I haven't used them much because they are such a finesse worm. It takes alot of patience and I like to cover alot of water. If thier working then hell got a use em!

All colors I tried worked .3" to 5" . I only have about five colors , but the color #157 smoke W/blk/purple in a 3" worked real good . Had to switch to a g-lock worm hook size 1 after several of them swallowed it on a regular offset worm hook . I think I injured one , but hope a muskie got some bass for dinner . Fished with no weight and alot of hits on it before it even got close to the bottom . It was kinda rough doing in the wind but it still worked well . I tried to get some folks set up to fish this style but I don't think it is for everyone either , or I'm a poor teacher . The more I think about it , I bet I had over 50 fish by noon . I had a audience watching me by then and decide to get out of there and go eat . When I got there in the morning I had the hole place to myself . I also rigged up small curly tail on a roadrunner jig set up . It worked good too . I did try to find the perch but didn't have any luck . Seen some gills cruising the shore line .
Here is a pic of the muskie I seen caught .
I'll try and get it later the pic that is .
