It's starting to dawn on me that the season is really drawing to a close. I'm taking the afternoon off tomorrow to get out, and am also getting out there Saturday and Sunday. The weather should be great. Not sure if I'll get out again after this weekend, but I'm going to try.

How many more times will you get out this year? Are some of you already done?

What the hell are you doing in Iowa? When did this happen? Is Jeremy okay? What about Slamr?

I got laid off last November, and couldn't find work, found a job here in Des Moines, since I'm originally from Iowa, I moved back. Slamr is very 'ronery', I'm sure, but he'll find other people to constantly tell him he's doing things wrong. I bought Jeremy's Tuffy, and brought it to the land of Corn and Pigs. Headed up to Preston, MN with Jeremy this weekend for shotgun Deer season! Should be interesting, Deer Hunting, Team RumbleKnott Style!!!!

Wow, I'm out of touch. Too much time spent on land I guess. Good for you, Mike, I hope things work out for you. I bet IL Bud Lights feel safe, while IA Buds are taking a beating.

I'm done for the season. In fact I may be done for good. Got laid off back in June, burned through my savings, girlfriend wants a ring... Did some freelance work for my former employer over the summer, but they haven't paid me in a few months. Not sure if/when they WILL pay me, in fact. Bad for me, good for you guys. Look for a HUGE sale in the buy/sell trade forum in the next few weeks. Everything must go.

Sorry to hear that EA, I'll see what I can do to help you out in getting rid of some stuff, even though it won't be fair buying from someone who really doesn't probably want to get rid of it.

Doing some hunting and some fishing until every season is closed, then will continue on the Ice, just not for Muskies. It's a good life.

Done up here, the Warroad river was froze over this morning out to the lake. Be starting again in mid-January in Tennessee.

Got to put food in the freezer starting Saturday. good luck to all you Minnesota deer hunters! Fun times!

I will be back and forth between the woods and water for the rest of the month, at least for as long as mother nature will allow. Once the ice comes, I'll be hitting first ice pretty hard, can't wait!

Kevin,

The season ends Dec 31th down here, what a great way to spend the final days of the year. Can't wait to wear my Santa hat with a "Tom'n Jerry" in one hand and Grandma's fruit cake in the other waiting for the sucker pole to rip......
Enjoy the extended season....the Muskie expo is the next month, swap meet and the whole thing starts over again.

Oh, sure, the fishing season has been extended. I'm talking about golf. They're closing my course no later than Thanksgiving.

I should be out on Boom Saturday and another local lake around Rhinelander on Sunday if my plans work out. I too hope to be on Pewaukee enjoying some Xmas cheer and the delightful carols of reel clickers!

Good Luck

need to clone myself!!!!! Had so much fun fishing yesterday getting big suckers smoked, then hear reports from buds who were in the woods yesterday the one day I took off from hunting the rut this week to fish. I'll go back out fishing with the wife tomorrow. I don't feel like being all quiet and non stinky, so clone goes hunting....

70 degs today with the forcast calling for above normal temps all week, you got to love this weather. We fished the IMTT 21 fish caught and I heard that there starting to chase baits again, maybe we'll be able to cast again. This looks to be a extended season....keep your boat ready for some excellant late fall fishing.

I'll keep getting out here in Illinois for a few more times til Thanksgiving, then take a break. We usually have open water through December/January/Feb with Kinkaid/SpringN and Storey, boat stays ready in the garage,just in case we get the urge. PS3 is getting really addicting too.....
