Fish are going to be flighty when you approach from above that will cut into their interest in feeding.
You could hold the cut bait with a small alligator clip tied to fishing line and wiggle it in front the musk to get them to take it. At some point you want to be able to simply drop pieces in. Feeding method for the pike family just does not work well with feeding small chunks requiring fish to turn around to eat more pieces in rapid succession.
You might as well be hand feeding them which can be done.
