Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | How was the Muskie fishing this last weekend for those who have an open season? I worked on my boat, messed around in the yard, and hooked Keith up to my Satellite system for high speed internet. No fishing here for awhile, at least for Muskies! |

Location: Athens, Ohio | I took Mauser up to Piedmont Lake and we fished all the spots RAZE suggested! Good to see you on the water, RAZE 1. Fantastic day out but a bit windy, Mauser got a healthy smallmouth for his trouble. I think he had his mind more on the college girls he saw in Athens rather than the fish. m |

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | The fishing on the Cave was outstanding for my partner and I.
Total we caught and released 5 muskies and 28 bass.
The muskies were:
43-inch prefishing
32 1/2-inch and 30-inch during the PMTT event with 3 shorties
The Bass were:
23-inch Small Mouth and 19-inch Small Mouth
24-inch, 22 1/2-inch, 22-inch and a pile of smaller ones.
We ended the first day of the PMTT in 2nd place. Sunday we couldn't streatch a 25-incher out long enough to get the third legal for the tourny.
We finished 6th place over all in the Cave Run qualifier.
I will post some pictures of the Cave Run fish tonight if I can.
Some very nice fish, expecially the small mouth bass, it might have went 7lbs.

| Had a great weekend. I personally sucked it up big time. Missed a low thirty at the side of the boat and burned a 37 really badly. I was also unlucky a bunch of times with fish not committing. Besides my whining though I was able to help my good friend boat his personal best!, which was a serious fathead! He also boated a pair of short fish that were really cool looking; little guys were fat as heck just like the big one.
I finished the weekend with a bunch of green carp, a walleye, some weeds, and a stick.
Can't wait for next weekend to get here already

| Well Muskie are not open here but one of my old clients wanted to try for some Pike so I made my first trip of the year. The DNR was out in force and checked everyone . Issued a couple of tickets. Looked at our lures and Oked them as Pike baits and my client caught his first 30 pound Muskie at Noon just before we were going to quit because of the high wind. His fish was 49 by 26 a nice fat fish. Looking forward to finding her again the first part of June. Good Fishing All. Bob |

Location: ft wayne, IN | Fun week down in the hoosier state! Twenty one skies since Wed 4/14! A 41 on the Tippy system Sat; 39 & 42 on Webster Sun (with a near 50 incher lost at boatside by Kenton Smith); and 18 in the river system. The winds were blowin' and the fish were really movin' on sun--saw 15-20 moving on baitfish but not following lures. The three on the lakes all struck off the boat in shallower water where there were green weeds and baitfish present. Twitching minnowbaits proved the true winner for catching the river fish which were on an absolute rage at times--five fish in 45 mins Fri and four in 45 mins on Wed. The fish are done spawning (excepting a few sub thirty inches we saw still paired up here and there) and slowly coming off with both males and females taking the baits aggressively. Fish ranged from 30-44 inches in length with about 1/2 to 2/3 of them being females--post spawn fatties. No fish in backwaters or the channel moving--all out on Webster. Tippy, James, Oswego were all quite slow w/ 1 follow, three fish seen, and one in the net (41). From what I heard there were fish seen on Barbee chain but few or none caught which was the tippy experience of other fisherman I spoke to as well. One partner lost two and the other lost two and boated four. Had two sucker runs but missed the fish on Tippy and no fish on suckers at all. Great luck to all!

Location: oswego, il | My dad got a short fish trolling and I caught my personal best bullhead while trolling. We missed two fish, one was decent the other was a monster. Never seen a planer board take off like it did, had to be close to 5mph and I could not budge it. Thought it was a snag untill it decided to run and bend the hook out. |

Location: ft wayne, IN | Tippy-Webster was the winner last week. The waters are way down this year though and I suspect this will not last much longer as they are off spawn now. There were a few in the Tippy-Barbee stretch as well but they had a case of lockjaw when I approached them on Sat as did the rest of the system for the most part.
