UGH!! This is just painful today... Kids are all working on assignments in class today, so I am not teaching at all....I'm correcting tests and assignments and the time is just ticking sloooooowwwwwwwwwwllllllllly...

I'm bouncing all over the room and cannot sit still... I'm dressed in formal wear in celebration of the first of two major opening days...

Anyone got a chill pill?

VMS I too am sitting in my classroom although all the kids are at a field trip but I have to sit here and "grade stuff" I am an art teacher so it is pretty easy to grade their work. I am also chomping at the bit to get to Wisconsin tonight.

Fishing early morning and if the waether holds all day sat. and sun.
Will probably start at Bone or Blake or even the Apple River.

Good luck

Oh yeah I'll probably start throwing small frech bladed bucktail that I make. Probably Gold/Orange blades and black skirt.

wow....I was hoping I wasn't the only one going nuts today! I'm sitting at my summer job (going to school for math teaching), and I'm bored as can be in the office. All I can think about is what I'm going to do to make that big one decide to attack when he's following!!!! Good luck all you guys!!!

Yep, me too. I have to work at Boulder Junction Marine tomorrow for a promotion, but will be on the water later in the day if Sue is feeling better.

Just looked up what a krook was...they look interesting. Do you know how they run in the water? Are they like a bucktail just under the water surface? What color combos did you get?

Where are people fishing? I'm heading to Polk Co. Blake, Deer, Apple river maybe

Correct - they are a topwater type bucktail that will bulge the water with the blades

I got:
Black body / black and brown skirt with gold blade
Black body / pink|white|green skirt with silver blade
Orange body / orange & black skirt with gold blade
Silver body / blue and black skirt with silver blade
Tan body / brown skirt and double #10 gold blades

I would have posted a pic of the baits but my camera is sitting in my boat in WI at the cabin.

Thanks Keith for awesome baits.

Steve, I will definitely have to keep that in mind. I still have another year or so before I actually student teach because I didn't know what I wanted to do my first two years, but have figured it out now.
Where are you headed this weekend? Good luck and hope you get a big one.
Thanks for the offer...again, I'll definitely keep it in mind, Jake Bucki
