Location: Tinley Park. Fish Cen IL. Bass & Vilas Cty.Muskie | I just started my N. IL.Muskie fishing this year so I am 0 for 1 with a day/half left this weekend. It has been a slow start here in IL. on warm Spring tempertures. I was curious as to how Muskie fishing is doing in your area.What General area are you fishing and how many do you have in the boat ? |

| I have fished from boat for 1 day on the fox chain in march (very cold) with no action.
Fished the fox river (St. Charles, Geneva, South Elgin, Batavia) for muskies all spring with no muskie or pike action.
Fished a small lake with tigers in IL a few times from shore with no action.
SO far this year i havent even seen a muskie. Couls be because the water im fishing sucks (mostly fox river) |

Location: Ohio | I Saugeye fished and shot Carp today, just got my boat back & wanted to test her out. My youngest Son shot his first Carp and we ended up only Saugeye fishing for 45 minutes with no bites, a boat about 20 yards off caught about an 8 Lb Saugeye while we were getting rid of the Carp. I think tomorrow me and a buddy are going to Muskie Fish, hopefully all day but I have to see if he still wants to go |

| 0 for 4 so far, the closest i got was a having a 40 come up and miss my dawg on the oval. The water was warming fast, but it slowed down in the last couple weeks. |

| Guest any size to those #'s or are you fishing some stocked tiger muskie lake with extreme #? Kinda hard to believe when your are anonyous and with lack of details. But I guess its possible. (but that would mean you must average 300-400 fish a year... right) |
|

|
| yes, over 300 fish per year and no, not just all "numbers". Plenty of big fish |
