Location: Greenfield, WI | I'll give Steve Worrall the night off and ask his question. How did everybody do this weekend?
We had a great day on the water of Pewaukee Saturday. It was a beautiful Chamber Of Commerce kind of day.
We had action on 4 small muskies all chasing bucktails with nothing in the boat. We even dragged a very "delectible" sucker, atleast that was what they said at Smokies Muskie Shop where I got it from. That sucker was oh so lonely all day. |

Location: oswego, il | Took my kids to watch my nephew race, he qualified second, second in the heat, led most of the feature and was second looking for the lead again coming to the white flag when he hit a rumple strip and broke the drive chain. Still got 6th but he's out of the championship hunt with 2 races to go. |

| Didn't get out this weekend, I was watching my daughter while the wife went shopping. Small price to pay for next three weekends in the Bemidji area. I got a nice 47" fish on Wednesday night on a black llungentail. Had 5 other fish up on the llungentail and topwaters but couldn't get them to eat. Water temp was 55 degrees.

Location: Stevens Point, Wi. | Mother nature was at her finest this weekend in central and northern Wi. The colors on the drive N. were out of a tourism magazine. Blue skies and a light breeze made for easy fishing. To make things even better, the fish cooperated. 3 in the net on Sat. and 1 more on Sun., all came on meat. 2 came after following lures, the other 2 unknown. Never had a strike on lures all weekend. One of those weekends that make those long hours at work worthwhile, or at least more bearable. |

Location: north central wisconsin | Nice fish guys!!!! Gotta love this time of year. One minute i feel I should be rolling a Jake over the rocks rather slowly, next minute I'm cranking a topper over the weeds....decisions decisions. Got a 43 on Wed, and the fattest 46" I've ever seen on Thurs. at 23". Both fish came to spinnerbaits. The big one followed twice earlier in the day and blew up my buddies topwater before eating my grinder. Couldn't fish sat or sun due to work and deer stand repairs. Anyone have surface temps for the lakes they fished? I had 58 on Wed and 56 on Thurs. |

| I coached hockey Saturday and Sunday this weekend, but it was actually only a few hours. Was in the ER with my wife from 8PM-2AM, Friday night and Saturday morning while she writhed in pain from her neck fusion that didn't work. They finally got her sedated enough that I could take her home, she slept most all day Saturday, and today she actually came and watched Taylor skate.
Met Slamr at a park n ride this morning while he was on his way to fish some Waukesha County lakes. Make a note, if you tell somebody from Illinois that "I'll meet you at the north park and ride at 5:15", go check the south one too. We sat 200 yards apart for 45 minutes before I went to check the south one, and there he was 
Sent him on his way with a couple of Castors and some custom painted Smuttlys for the Kly auction. Still waiting for a fish report, so I imagine that there is no fish report.

Location: Racine, Wi | Got out on Sat and Sunday. Saturday, I had one fish grab a sucker and drop it on Pewaukee, then after a lake change in the afternoon, I had a goooooood fish grab a sucker, and proceed to straighten out my hook on the sucker rig. Dohhh!!! I can't get a break lately. I will pin her by the end of the year. It was a pikey kind of weekend. Got 2 pike on Sat, and a pretty nice pike on Sunday with Brett on a sucker. Man that clicker sound rocks, but it is alot better when you see stripes and not spots in the net.  We saw 2 other fish on Sunday, but no super tankers.
The water temps on both lakes were 60 on Sat, and 59-60 on Sunday. |

Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | We drifted both sat and sun up in Land O Lakes.....had one small gator try to take a 15" sucka and he could'nt do it....kinda cool to see a sucker tail dancing on the surface! Other than that...nada.
If you really want to intensify your color viewing pleasure up north....Use sunglasses with amber lenses..amazing. |

Location: Madison, WI | Had a very enjoyable weekend up north. Fall colors are in full bloom and the weather was awesome. Stuck 6 fish in 4 days. Boated three on Saturday up to 41" on a reef hawg. Yesterday I got 2 including a nice fat 43" on a sucker. H2O temps were from 54-56 throughout the weekend. The meat bite is on in the north woods!!:) |

A beautiful morning though, and I keep finding new spots to try. Marine1, thought I saw you out there? What was that huge piece of wood you where tossing?

Location: Pelican Lake/Three Lakes Chain | Nice weekend---for weather. Rotten weekend---for fish. Was guiding this weekend on Pelican, and didn't have the flexibility of moving lakes. Hit Pelican square in the middle of turnover, moved a few fish on gliders, had a 25-30# fish terrorize a sucker for a while. Would of had a heart attack if I were that sucker, but it never ate it. One sucker pickup but lost the fish on the set. |

Location: Minneapolis,Minnesota | I was up at the Shady Moon and had a blast. Fished the first day with LPeitso on the Riviera. Calm blue bird day but we found active fish on all the spots on all types of baits..topwater, bucktails, bulldawgs, cranks it didn't matter. I think we saw 7 fish and boated one 36-37" on the first cast with a Weagel (just another bait heh Lance). Not a great day fish wise but a fun day on the water and at least the net got wet.
Day two brought the wind and overcast, I boated a 45" and 43" both on the same weighted Suick. I was solo that day and let me say netting those fish in my little boat in 1-2 footers was a feat in it's self. Fish were swiping all day but missing the bait, got hooks in a bunch of fish but couldn't keep 'em (I should learn to fish better) I moved probably 20-25 fish including one super tanker (51-52) that came up on the Death Rise but wouldn't eat.
The next day I fished with Jonesi for a few hours but after a few 4'ers over the side and 35 mph winds we decided to call it quites and spent the rest of the day helping Shady work on Weagels and Wabulls..... Fun day.
Last day up was great weather and I was in Papa Joe's rig. We moved some nice fish and I lost one on a Wabull. Most of the fish were off the cabbage bed were Jonesi got his 4 footer that morning and I got my two earlier that week.
Great outing and it was great seeing everyone again. |

Location: Alexandria, MN | Same story on Vermilion it seems -- lookers but no eaters.
Got to see 15 fish in three days, from low 30's to 1 that over 50" -- only a couple
that were around 40" even made any show on the fig8 -- all others just left ASAP.
Moved most fish on Bucktails and Spinnerbaits, water was low to mid 50's and
turning over.

Location: Lino Lakes, MN | was out fishing all weekend on okauchee with thedude. saturday we moved a few fish early, but didnt get the hooks into anything. caught a few pike, and a largemouth that tried to commit suicide on a jake. had a 40 up twice at dusk but she wouldnt eat. sunday was pretty much the same story. got the chance to meet slamr, and a few members of klys family. all in all it was a nice weekend to be out on the water. these WI fish are driving me nuts though.

Location: Germantown, WI | I spent Saturday morning on Okauchee casting and dragging a sucker. I had two follows in the low 30" range and something tried to eat my sucker (I think), but I missed it. I have no idea what I am doing with suckers. I also caught 4 Northerns with the biggest at 30". I spent some time throwing the Sacred Combo (J-Mac Jig and Lunker City Salt Shaker) and it produced two of the pike, including the 30" as well as a missed strike and another follow. My two musky follows came on a Suick and a Shallow Invader.
I fished the afternoon on Pewaukee and never saw a fish.
Joel, you gotta show me how to do this sucker thing.

Location: Ft. Wayne Indiana | Fished the Barbee Chain Saturday morning.
Caught a 40 on a Weagle, and my clients caught a 38 on a Squirko. It was his first musky so he was pretty happy!
Indiana fishing was pretty good this weekend, lots of fish boated Friday-Sunday. |

Location: Minneapolis, MN | Went to Okauchee on Saturday for my first time. Great lake! I had a visit from a mid 40" fish that just appeared as if from the abyss and attempted to nip my bait but I made sure she didn't get it, that would have been too much fun for one day. Also had suckers going bananas 2 or 3 times but I made sure I got the big ones instead of what everybody told me to do so they outran the toothy critters.

Location: Stevens Point, WI | Just back from Big Arbor Vitae, it was the dead see today. It was dead calm today not a breeze at all, very pretty but no fish moving. I talked to a couple of other boats and they didn't have any follows or fish either. |
