Please get out there and vote.

Here is where you can do it.

You don't even need to be a Wisconsin resident. If you are a resident you don't have to vote in the county you reside in.

There are 3 musky related topics.

1) 50" size limit on Pelican, see frozen post

2) 50" size limit on the Fox River from Little Lake Butte Des Mortes to Green Bay and making the whole Little Lake Butte Des Mortes open Memorial Day weekend instead of the southern half open in May (hwy 10 bridge splits the lake).

3) 50" size limit for all of the Winnebago Lake system all the way up the Wolf River.

I can't say enough about how much we need your help to vote and get these to fly. The last time a larger size limit was pushed for Northern Lakes it failed miserably. We need to make musky fishing better in Wisconsin and any help we can get with tighter regulations is desperately needed.

I went to the Washington County Fair grounds for the meeting last night. Pretty decent turnout compared to other years. They're trying a new "scantron" type voting now. No more having to sit through the whole thing and having to hand vote.

I voted yes on all three musky proposals...we'll see what happens next.

Anybody else go?
