Only 72 Days (10 Weeks) left until the Southern Wisc Opener and 96 Days (13 Weeks) for the Northern Opener,

Do you Northern Wisc. Folks Head South for the Opener and Do You Southern Wisc Folks Head North for the Opener ?

Just Curious

Yes, I usually take one or two trips South to hit the early opener. I try to pick my shots with a nice warm mid week
day. I don't head down on opening day but usually during the week after it.

JohnMD, Let's not forget about Michigan Boundry Waters opening on the 15th of May. Hopefully I can make LVD on the 15th to prefish the WMT. Otherwise I'll be hitting Tenderfoot or the Cisco Chain hard.

John, I count 76 days til the southern opener, but I like you'r math better.
I don't usually make the trip up for the northern opener, but wait until some of my friends up there
tell me the fishing is hot.
76 or 72 days, I can't wait.

I'm headed by Sanks and Koepp's for the southern opener.

Northern opener... I go out the patio door and to the lake.

Hey Sanks...Mid June again...take a day off during the week and head up.

"Hot" is a good word Sanks, usually, during the first few weeks of the opener (Boundry waters mainly) you'll find fish re-cooping from the spawn in water 2' or less. Fish can be lathargic and the water temps are hoovering about 45 or so.
