Damn Muskie!

Hi to all!
I'm an Italian fishing-maniac ;-) who resides in Chicago and who doesn't
enjoy little fishes (I always like aiming to medium/big fishes).

Yesterday I went fishing in an harbor in Chicago downtown, just for
trying various lures I bought at BPS and studying how they work when
suddenly I saw a beautiful and relaxed 6pound like Muskie resting 3 feet
under the surface.
I casted far the lure I had at the moment, a Martin Panther like spinner
and I achieved to make him aggressive speeding my reel and flipping with
my wrist, he chased my lure and he tried to bite the spinner twice
softly, not in a determined and hard way.
Then he saw me and he went slowly away. I tried a lot o other lures but
unusefully and I can't imagine what I wronged, if I wronged anything.

Not true at all !

If the post is Cross-Posted to relevant News Groups and is On Topic than this is preferred
becuase it saves badnwidth being just one post rather than multiple posts and replies are
in all News Groups (albeit you can set a followup to one News Group).

It is excessive Cross-Posting and/or Off Topic Cross-Posting that is bad. There is no real
Italian UseNet as UseNet is one system that is International. It is only News Groups that
are specific to the Italian language that *may* be considered "Italian Usenet".

You may not have done anything wrong. Muskies, Pike, Pickerel members of
that family
sometimes will follow a lure, sometimes hit it not seriously as if they are
doing it more out of habit
and instinct rather than hunger. This is especially true at mid-day. I
suppose some experts might suggest if anyrthing that you might have made
more noise and splash to aggravate the fish under those circumstances.
Maybe.
BTW I think a 6 lb muskie is small for those fish and certainly undersized,
although you probably would
have had fun catching it.

I think you're right. he was so calm and relaxed that he didn't seem
hungry at all.

I don't know this.
noise and splash hitting the surface?
or the splash with the bait?

surely I'd love to catch my first muskie also if it's underweight, so I
can after concentrate searching bigger ones :-)
