Where are you planning a trip for 2005? I'll be on Cave Run this Spring at the MuskieFIRST outing, the Goon for two weeks, and on LOTW for the Sabaskong trip. May hit another spot or two also, depending on whether my property in Rhinelander sells.

Where are you headed?

Namakagon, Grindstone, Webster and Lake Michigan for some early spring coho's and the hope of a king or two.
Forgot to mention Lake Erie (2X) for some awesome walleye and smallmouth fishing.

Good to hear, Steve. Is there a date yet for Cave Run?
I might be just a boat driver for this one, I need some hand surgery but I'm hoping I can get the doc to prescribe throwing rattletraps as appropriate physical therapy! m

Will be on the Goon with the rest of the MF'ers. Also hoping to make a few trips to the Cass Lake area. Depending on what the wallet looks like, I may try to make the Sab Bay trip also.

LOTW in July. Want to get to MN and fish the big pond at least once with Troyz (I've been saying that for the last few years and haven't made it). At least one trip down to fish the Pete with Mr. Forcier, and after that pretty much hanging out in Oneida and Vilas everyday. Life aint so bad

2 weeks on Cass in early Sept.
IF I remain off work, I'll fit in a couple of weeks in the summer, even if I have to camp!
And a trip or two to Pelican and other fringe waters with a guy that I know.

Minnetonka and other Metro Lakes
Mille lacs

Vermilion as much as possible
Same old - Same old, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Wish I had more time to try
some new water, but the ones I have been going to are giving up numbers and PIGS,
so I will do what I have been, when I have the chance.

I do plan on being on Vermilion in September, if the Classic does come back!

My big trip for the year is a week trip with 12 C & R Musky Club guys to Vermillion in August at Bay View. I can't wait.

Then my usual local water day trips and long weekends to Vilas, maybe a week there too. Every year I tell myself I'm going to save some vacation to take a week in Vilas in September, but it hasn't happened yet.

Southern openner on Okauchee. Bring Your Meat Meet Number 2, but I'm thinking about setting up a lunch at the bar where the Klye thing was, instead of the cook out. What do you think?

Jo, thats salt in the wound talking about vermillion like that,
I myself will fish my ass off this summer seeing as I have a kid due in August, I just hope it doesn't screw my fall up too badly.
Always a few trips to vilas and oneida in july but nothing set in stone yet.
I always wanted to fish that Green Bay system too!
Its too early to be talking about going anywhere, foot of snow and 18"of ice here.

Best of luck with the battle coming, I am sure you will beat it andyou'll be fishing by the cave and putting more 50's in the boat than last year. I have you down for LOW no backing out now!

LOTW, Mill Lacs (more), Eagle, Vermillion, Leach/Cass Lake Area, and will see what else happens, mecixo for some deep sea fishing in a few months

Take Care

Kinkaid & Fox River in a few weeks, then maybe Fox Chain, Shabbona, Evergreen. After opening season in WI, Madison Chain, Lac Vieux Desert, N/S Twin, Phillips Chain, Manitowish Chain, ERC, Boom/Rhinelander Flowage many lakes in the Boulder Junction area, Cass Lake MN area, and one late season trip on Green Bay. I really would like to get out on Georgian Bay this year as well but we'll see how the time goes. If there wasn't snow & salt on the ground right now, I would be on the water this weekend......
