Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Chose muskies as the weather report was a little iffy for big lake-age. Turned out the weather was great, should have chased chrome versus just seeing 3 little ones on my local muskie sewer.
How did all of you do on the water? |

Location: Hayward, WI | Put in just a couple hours for the first time this year in for muskies and boated a 37 in the 8. Not big, but good to get started. Went fishing for walleyes after that and got skunked. Should have stayed after the skis! |

| Nice fish Wisco!
I had a tire blow out on the way to the lake. Then, found out my spare was also flat. Finally made it to the lake and fished a few hours but didn't have any luck.
I was kinda happy to finally make it back home and not have to leave my boat on the side of the road for very long. |

Location: Home of the 2016 World Series Champion Cubs | Fished the U.P. a couple days last week. Mon-Wed we hopped around in the crap weather that just kept coming. Wind and wave after wave of showers. Discovered the Cisco chain and all I can say is, "Wow! what a beautiful body of water!" Actually fished Cisco, 1000 Island lake and Fish hawk. Cruised though a few others. Would love to return under stable weather conditions. Looked fishy everywhere you went. Attempted to get to Tenderfoot only to find ourselves, thanks to our trusty ol'  GPS, on an f'd up "road" known as NF6815. NF6815 is nothing more than a grassy lane with two shallow tire ruts, barely distinguishable. After about 300 yards we decided it was in our best interest to back out. "Road" looking very sketchy. Good call as we later found the only access to tenderfoot was via Palmer lake. Decided to fish Lac View Desert the remainder of the day. Weather began to settle as we hit the water. jumped from spot to spot. Also about 17 years since I last fished here. Only drew 2 lookers no strikes. No other action among others we spoke with. Returned to our home base for the trip up on Gogebic for Thursday and Friday where we boated a few walleye for the family by pulling crawler harnesses. Hopefully weather stabilizes and the fish turn on. warmest water we found anywhere was 62. |

| tooo hot to fish musky last weekend. unhealthy for population. too hot for fish to be out of water(hope you didn't) good water temp is 75 top,if it was burtal for you imagine the fish, taking a musky out of the water at these temps can kill them extremely quickly this is A time most respectable musky fishermen dont fish. my group of musky friends chose as a group in the northern wisco/ IL area not to fish in the heat for population control. glad ur beer was cold though, thats good. |

| Me and my group of friends are from extreme northern Illinois. We will not fish muskies unless the water temp is between 67-68 and the air temp must be exactly 68.3
3 years ago we were able to fish the Fox Chain for an hour in June but haven't been out since because the conditions aren't right. |

that 32" follow in that hour must have been an incredible adrenaline rush! |
