| Wondering what everyone thinks about their upcoming season? What changes are you planning on making from last year to this year? I just hope I don't any dumb mistakes that could cost me a fish. |

| Wider,longer, and deeper boat so I can actually fish in the wind/and deeper water. And I plan on fishing more in the dark. Last year I fished about 75% during the day, and 25% at night. This year I think I'll reverse that. |

| Hope like all get out that I hit the water more often this year...last year was not good for "time on the water" for me.
Maybe more important though, is a new pattern learned last year on a quiet body of water that I have not been able to effectively crack, but plan on boating a piggie there this year!!!!!!!! (Plus this freakin cold weather has seen me "tinkering" alot more this winter and I have made some awesome looking bucktails...and getting that "piggie" on one of these, would be icing on my cake!) |

| Well, judging from your predictions... I predict that last years big fish entries will look like minnows compared to this years  |

Location: Northern Illinois | Time to explore the unknown frontier of Muskie fishing- suspended fish hanging out in deep water beneath schools of baitfish. Gonna go for quality, not quantity.  |

Your answer is absolutely "right on." You follow that outline and you'll have a great season. I'm going to follow your advice. |

| probably yet another year, I will not crack the 50" mark, 3 years in a row now the biggest for each year is a 49, I kind of have a trend going I think.
Hopefully putting in more time on the water than this last year, I had plenty of time to go, just no money to fund the gas bill, twas a crappy summer other than my Canada trip. I did dedicate quite a bit of time in the fall and it really paid off, I plan on doing the same again in 07. I will also try to not over-analyze things too, sometimes this has wasted more fishing time than its worth. |

Location: On your favorite spot | I got at least 1 more season that I get 3 days a week on the water as long as the GF doesn't get her panties in a bunch.
Goals:
1. Get that big girl I lost last year - she's still there along with her slightly shorter, fat sister.
2. Get the GF fishing - she doesn't need to be a constant fishing partner but she needs to understand.
3. Focus more on quality, big water
4. Be a little more versitile/concentrate and pick apart areas that I know hold fish
5. Get my buddy his first while he's still excited about musky fishing.
6. DO NOT lose fish at the boat because I'm scared $&itless by a boatside strike or screw up my own netjob.
7. Appriciate every day on the water and fish hard because I know life is going to catch up with me sooner than I know. |

| Predictions for 07:
Many fish will be boated on Choppers, Dawgs and Gerrys Girls.
I will not fall out of the boat.
Dan will drink lots of coffee in the morning.
Cory will show me that fish really do eat baits on his fabled lake X.
Dan and I will explore new waters and catch fish.
the 50" mark will be broken on the Madison Chain (I call it that just to get Bytor riled up)
PP102 will snap his rod casting the 2 pound Dawg.
Gliders will still be a last resort!
MN will once again be the place to catch lots of big fish!
good luck to everyone in 07!

Location: Illinois | I will fish with a lot of new people this year.
Figure 8 fish will be more plentiful for everyone this year. This is the year of the figure 8.
The Fox Chain will put up great numbers in the PMTT
Wisconsin will put out another 50lber. The huge fish will be caught and released on Green Bay.
My 8 year old son will catch his first musky.
