Where did all the Musky Go?

Fishing Time: 6:00 am to 1:00 pm
Weather: Mostly Sunny, T-90s
Moon Phase: 20% Moon
Location: Pineview Reservoir
Best Bait: Green pumpkin curly tailed grub on 1/4 oz jighead
Who Went: Bobber John, Dunc

An early morning opportunity at Pineview had us dreaming of a large musky in our net.  Conditions seemed perfect and we were one of only a few boats on the water at first light. 
We casted swimbaits, crankbaits, buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, and topwater all morning and didn’t even get a follow.  By late morning, Bobber John switched to a grub and put a couple decent smallmouth in the boat.  I continued casting, but never got a sniff.  Frustrating day to say the least!
