Per your advise I got a trolling motor and some polarized glasses.
Went to Pineview yesterday and today. Skunked yesterday. Today I saw my first muskey alive and in the water. It was a LUNKER! I couldn't believe how big it was. My friend was driving the boat and was changing lures and not paying attention to the shore, we got within 10 feet of the shore and between the boat and the shore (2-6 feet deep) the fish came out and followed my 3 inch grub until he saw the boat then he casually swam down & disappeared in 6 feet of water. He followed my grub. When he turned I gave it a jerk and I hit his body with my jig head!
WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY!!!!
And yes it's a little hard on my ego to call it a huge success to have only 1 fish follow my lure. I'm excited because it's progress. Six trips 30 plus hours close to $1000 in gear/tackle, lots of research and questions to BFTers and fellow fishermen is finally looking like it may lead to a fish being caught.
There are carp all over that lake. Are there muskey's where there are carp or not?
