| I am still waiting for our musky season to start in a couple weeks but walleye fishing was really good.
Was on Mille Lacs Thursday. That lake is crazy. I know we talk alot about the muskies on that lake but the walleye fishing is even better. I don't know how many we caught but all but one were over 20 inches.
Then I went up to trailer on Leech for the weekend to start our 7th year at Moonlight Bay Resort. Nice to see the walleye population back. Walleyes are really biting up there right now.
Is it ok to make it a multi species post Steve?
Two weeks they will change to musky posts.
Hope all is well.

Location: Algonquin, ILL | Just got back from Vegas on Sunday, As we were making the Approach to O'Hare we flew over the Fox Chain saw lots of boats on the water scattered over the chain but still to high to make out any detail, Was able to see some weed lines and shallow areas on the northern lakes that I will have to checkout over the weekend

Location: Greenfield, WI | It was a case of "should have been there yesterday". I had family obligations on Saturday.
Sunday morning with 40 degree temperature drop over night, we heard about 24 muskies being caught on Saturday at an outing on Pewaukee Lake.
Sunday, I was part of a fund raiser outing for Wisconsin Lutheran High School, one of 30 boats.
My daughter and I won the team Championship for the muskie & northern category, with a monster 22" northern!
We had a ball in spite of the tough fishing. My daughter had a small legal on for a few seconds, and I had a treble full of scales come up in addition to the monster northern! |

| Hit the mad chain today. Had plenty of opportunities, but only boated one fish. Saw a ton, but they would usually stop and take off 20ft from the boat. I think I saw B Nelson out there working the same area we raised fish all day so we like to think we were doing something right

| I fished a Walleye tourney this Sunday. We were restricted to the river because of small craft weather warnings. We were trolling crawler harnesses, and I thought I got hung up on the bottom. While pressuring the rig to try to free it from the bottom, the line started moving. UPSTREAM! A bit faster than the boat! I had a beast on for sure! A few powerful tail strokes to get back to the bottom, and then nothing. I brought up my harness to find a perfectly unmarked crawler, with both hooks in it like I set them. I thought this strange, until I felt the teeth scrapes on the bottom bouncer weight! Wish I would have seen this one!
The BB weight was Flour. Orange and Chartruese!
Had at least one other on out on the bay on Saturday, but got bit off. Had one check out a planer board, too.

Location: Wausau | I hit LVD on Friday solo - saw around 10 fish - slow, low and would stop about 3-4 feet from the boat. Had one mid-40's nose to the bait around the top of the 8 - came back into the boat and I think saw it and just kept swimming straight. I fished all over from 2-30 feet. Caught a mid-30's on a depth raider in 25 feet of water along a rock break. Saturday went out on the Cisco Chain. Again, plenty of slow and low follows in all water depths and structure. Lost a nice one on a sucker - never broke the hooks loose. Went into my truck around 5:00 and temp was 38. There was smoke on the water. Sunday went back to LVD. Water temps dropped 5 degree since Friday. Had one follow in the super slop and that was it...except the fugus floater.
