Introduction and Pineview report

[Hankhill]

Hey guys. Long time lurker, first time poster. Made the trip up to Pineview today with my father in law to do some shore fishing after work. We have been hitting the lake up about once a week for the past two months or so. It's been interesting trying to find a consistent area to fish with how quickly the water level has been dropping. We started out fishing the coves around cemetery point a few weeks ago and did very well for bass, perch, catfish and bluegill. Being relatively new to the lake, I was surprised at the variety of fish in the lake! Today we made our way to the dam figuring the deeper water might be worth a go. Did well for smallmouth, but that was it. The bass this year have all been healthy and fat, but I don't think we have caught anything over 2 pounds, most much smaller. Some the size of the lures we were throwing! Aggressive creatures those smallmouth. Anyways, being new and all, we have been happy to have been able to locate and catch bass regularly, a few dozen a trip, but what is the trick to finding Muskie in the lake? We have been catching the other fish on several lures such as shad colored slug-gos (our number one producer by far) spinnerbaits, sassy shads, crocodile spoons, and huskie jerks, but nothing has worked for the Muskie. I swear we have thrown the whole box at them with no luck! Any advise from the experienced fisherman on here?
