Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | Is anyone else chomping at the bit to get on some water? Where can we go to fish?
This is going to be a long winter.
I have been catching walleyes icefishing but it still not scratching the itch. The shows are comming up and I am ready to buy muskie stuff. I can't wait to get to the shows and see everyone. What would we do without the muskie sites?
What besides shows do you do to keep the winter months going quickly? | |

Location: Palm Coast, FL | All the lakes around have not frozen completely yet. Tippecanoe is still open. We have had a warming trend lately and I am hoping Webster will open back up sometime late next week. They are calling for highs in the upper 40's. I already landed my first of the year yesterday!!!!!!
When the water does get hard, I sharpen hooks, look for things to do to my boat, make leaders, buy stuff...lots of stuff, speaking presentations, shows...just to name a few things. | |

Location: The Sportsman, home, or out on the water | That's kind of why I started making baits. It's like the "patch" for musky fishing the way that the "patch" is to smokers. It's not the real deal, but it gets you by until you give in and start up again. | |

Location: Elk River, Minnesota | I spend my time tinkering with the boat. There is always something that can be done to prep it for the upcomming season (yes...mine is in a heated garage, and I have been known to just go out there and sit in it...if only I had one of those deep sea fishing games with the monitor where I could have a rod in hand playing the fish on the TV)
Always something to clean up, change position, polish, wax, paint, etc... Heck..I still have reeds to replace, a jackplate to potentially install, which will then mean a water pressure gauge, and of course, then I will have to look at a higher pitched prop. for me, off season is more expensive than go-go juice during the season.
By the time I get those completed, then the reels need thier going-over which takes time to clean and relube. Once done with that, then walleyes start biting on the mississippi here in hastngs, so the boat is on the water. But...then I have to play with the jackplate to get optimum performance...
