I think it has to do with available forage. My opinion, they are feeding on smaller more available and easier to catch targets. Just because the fishy is huge doesn't mean it will turn down a easy 3" meal, especially if that easy meal is just flopping around in the water and obviously injured. I have also read article on pineview muskie that state small bait is better. Maybe that is just something exclusive to pineview. I don't know but I don't doubt it. I also noticed that there are tons of small bluegill around (no more than 6") in the narrows tight to the shore. Maybe this has something to do with it.
I just know that I'm going to continue fishing Senkos for Smallies and I'm going to try something to prevent the "muskie cut and run". If I'm succesfull you should see some muskie hooked on Senko reports this fall.
