Went out to the narrows again yesterday. This time I used a 5" wire leader ahead of my 3" Senko. Only caught 20 smallies and all were small. I'm blaming that on the wire leader.
Had another Muskie encounter and this time didn't cut me off. I cast my senko near a submerged rock twitched and got a strike but I couldn't move the fish. I could feel him shaking his head but I thought it was hung up on the rock. So I kept yanking away and finally the bait came loose and shot up out of the water. Cast to the same spot and this time he took the bait and swam out from under the rock. HUGE Muskie with a white senko dangleing from his mouth [
]. He swam out to deeper water and spit the hook. At least I didn't loose my hardware but I only got half my worm back.
Seems I can't win no matter what [
]. With the wire leader they bite short without they bite me off. It seems like the Muskie are getting active and are prowling the shorelines. I'm having an encounter every trip now and I keep my bait within 10' of the shoreline.
Been hearing mention of cemetary point, where is that?
