Water temps on most area lakes should be in the mid to high 60's by this weekend, did I say shallow??????:) Best of luck to all and please don't harrass those muskies too much Mr. Van Lieshout:)

Muskydr, Darrel and I thank you for generosity!
We are way, way over due to win the whole #*^@ thing!
After the summer from hell, I hope we will be able to see at least one muskie!
We shouldn't have to deal with turnover this year!
Water levels are at near record lows, don't think that just because you drove through an area for years and it was safe, that it still is.

I too will be on Hancock, Crescent, & Oneida. Good luck to you Sled. Do you happen to know if the Big Goomba is bringing his boat up with him? If so, I am figuring the lake should rise about a foot when he launches due to the water displacement. Make sure that you also bring along some DVD's to watch since Rich has the big screen prominently in place on his yacht.

Good luck to you & Rich, sounds like perfect musky weather so far: 60's & rain!

Although I'm fishing Crescent, my partner better hold up some of this team. He has strick orders he can not answer any cell-phone calls. He also must fill his partners coffee cup when empty.

You guys should take a look at fishing the October "Musky" Fest in October. Going to be a GREAT time with cash and prizes. Raffles will be benefitting the American Diabetes Association 100%!!!

Suckers, 2 lines per person, these bodies of water around Rhinelander, mid October. All of these combined mean BIG fish. Oh yes, you DO NOT get to chose what water you fish. The captain of the team will draw what lake you are on Saturday at the meeting Friday night. On Saturday night another drawing for Sunday. This will separate the men from the boys in musky tournaments. Other tournaments you can prepare for in advance. For this one, everyone is in the same boat going into it.

Post on here if you want more info.

Mr Jonesi, did you get the entry form that Kristy sent out? Going to be able to make it back?

Also, stop by Nelson's Choice Bait & Tackle in Rhinelander this weekend to pick up an entry and ask questions. We will have later hours on Friday night and Saturday night and open earlier for you on Saturday and Sunday.

Suckers are in-stock. Ooops, that is right, you cannot use live bait. LOL

Good Fishing,

Chuck

DHBUC, fill your own coffee cup! I'm not going to contribute to your "pody breaks" that take away valuable fishing time!
Oops, just a second, I think that I hear my cell phone ringing!

This is our year!

Just one question, Is Crescent the only lake in the Hodag that people are fishing?

Mikey,
Fishing the HODAG with Johnnysled!!! Looking forward to it. Will have the Titanic in tow since Jon's graph is on the fritz. Good luck, stick a fatty. Hopefully that custom hang 10 MRG Manta will do the job once again. Last week stuck a 47"er on it on LOTW!
