Location: Wisconsin | Anyone setting season goals? Any particular landmarks you want to set?
Mine are:
A) The first musky!
B) 40+ inch musky
C) Topwater musky
D) A musky each from Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota. ; D
I realise I have the possibility of getting three goals in one fish, but that's just a risk I'll have to take. ; D.. What're your goals? |

| Even though you can never fish enough, I was fortunate to fish as much as I did last year. I'd like to do the same this year but unfortunately this summer looks to be a busy one with work and family obligations.
1) Spend quality time on the water with family and friends.
2) Catch a few fish.
3) Personal best (gotta beat 44.5)
Other than that if I'm upright and breathing at the end of the summer this year, I'll be happy.

Location: Eagan, MN | 1. Take one of my friends who only occassionaly muskie fish and turn them into the same kind of pathetic addict that I am. They won't know whether to hate me or love me.
2. Meet and fish with some MF guys or gals. (Still looking for a Match Fishing partner). Just in case I don't succeed at goal #1. I just need someone who doesn't want to quit when we've barely been fishing 13 hours, or get scared of a little lightning, hail or killer mosquitos. C'mon, someone, anyone...
3. Oh yeah, catch tons of huge fish and all that stuff, too. |
