| I plan on hitting Waubesa mid morning 10ish. I haven't had great luck extra early in the morning, and fighting crowds at the launch on the opener isn't a ton of fun either. I pitty the guys fishing Okauchee! How many trailer spots do you have there? Better be there by 4:30 if you want to park.
Good Luck wherever! |

| That's my turkey season so I won't be fishing, I'm hunting with Jordan Weeks so if you want any changes to the DNR let me know. Plus my youngest daughter is getting confirmed, so no fishing. I might go to Madison the following weekend.

Location: Hopefully on the water | Waupaca area but not until probably the 16th for me. Have to get some fish up North for the freezer for regular opener. Then the Land O' Lakes area for the North opener. It is finally getting closer to get the itch out of the system. Good luck to everyone getting out in a month. |

Location: Anchorage | I'm heading to the woods for a 30lb'er. Been talking to 'em for two weeks already when the morning weather's been nice.

|
Location: The Yahara Chain | I'm going to start out at around 5AM on the local fish factory. Heading over to Wauby later in the day.
Wauby typically has light musky pressure on the opener....BUT....there are about a million pan fisherman and 500,000 bass guys out there.

Location: Racine, Wi | Cap'n Koepp, his son, and I will be on Pewaukee for the opener and the next day fishing the Chapter something or other.  Trying to bring the traveling trophy back to Milwaukee. It's going to pain me not to be on Okauchee or Oconomowoc, but I'll make due. Should be an absolute BLAST. Hopefully we can coax a fish or 8 into the net too. |

Trout for me. I can't give up my trout fishing opening weekend, muskies bite well all summer long.
Trout bite well all summer long too if you are talking about streams. If it's spring ponds we're talking about, then that's a different story. I share this sentiment. I love muskie fishing but I love trout fishing quite a bit more. I have more money invested into muskies than I do into my trout stuff so I have to justify it more by chasing muskies. |

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | Me and the Tuff Daddy are going to see what damage we can do to the Quad County boys. This is my first time in over ten years I will be fishing without my brother. New tradition starting with the Muskies, Inc. Milwaukee Chapter vs Quad County fun Tournament.
Looking forward to seeing what me and Joel can stick in a day and a half on Pewaukee. Maybe Okauchee Sunday afternoon to finish off a muskie filled weekend.
You ready for this Joel?
WOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo |

|
| Any suggestions for northern folks looking for the closest thing south of Hwy 10? Petenwell looks to be the closest other than the WI river system. |
|

|
| Pretty sure the Pete is part of the WI River system. |
