Muskies in the mud-line 9/14/09

We spent most of the day ,trolling in areas were we had caught skis before, Lithia, along the dam, and 9thstreet rip-rap. We started casting , when we had spotted a large muskie feeding along a bare clay bank, on the sunny side of the cove. Its was in the mud-line, attacking shad, that the wind had blown in. Mainly around the primary points, and in less than 5ft of water-no cover around like lay downs or standing timber. Worn out from the constant casting, we started to troll the shallow baits, in closer to the banks- nothing. She was a large muskie- 45+ or so, maybe she will be there sunday.
