decent cow dolphn ben
Thanks Tom, we fish between dives and the season is good in Cozumel now, but we could not hook up with a marlin...action from tuna, wahoo and mahi mahi...but the marlin eluded us...That female had a big bite from a shark or marlin in her belly so we kept her to eat...turned out great. |

Location: Ogden, Ut | Nothing yet, but I'm extending my weekend to include most of today and part of tomorrow. Had a real nice one follow my Muskie Treat in only to turn away at boatside and make tracks toward my son's spinnerbait. Unfortunately, he saw the fish...his jaw dropped and he stopped all movement - including reeling. Oh well, I can't say that the same thing hasn't happened to me once or twice.
Later, I missed one that totally inhaled that same Treat, don't really know how, but it got rid of the lure right quick.

Location: Minnetonka | Hit the water at five with Mr. Hoyer and Nelson... what a sunrise. We had the first one by 6:30. The fish ate a Cowgirl and measured 50".
Later in the day watched Brad and Dr. Dean boat one and I managed to get some action shots, including a very cool release photo.
We got a 44 yesterday and saw a handful of others.

Location: North Saint Paul, MN | Nothing in the boat but we raised 8 fish on Saturday. Four of them came in very aggressive and four of them were kind of lazy. Had one take a swipe at boat side and completely miss the bait. Another went around on the figure 8 a couple times. Thought she was going to eat but just sunk away. Had another hit a couple cranks into the retrieve. I set the hook but didn't get any hooks into her. All in all a pretty successful day. Would have been nice to get the net slimy but we saw a bunch of fish.

Location: New Hope MN | I boated 2. a 38 and a 42.
water temps were very high, but i couldn't find anything on the mainlake structure.
found all the fish right where they should be at this time of year (pre-summer transition areas). I assumed these temps would've accelerated transition... i was wrong. wasted the entire first morning
Highlight of the trip was a +8lbs bass follow. I thought it was a carp! |

Location: Bloomer, Wi | got out with my dad on friday he caught this 33" on super topraider. 20 years ago this month my dad took me to lake winter and I caught my 1st musky a 25", so here we are 20 years later I take him out and give him the bait to throw and he catchs a musky. Came full circle I guess.

Location: Hayward, WI | I made it out twice during the week for a total of about 3 hours. Had two fish follow double 10s. My Dad came up Saturday and we were both pretty excited since I've been seeing a few fish in not much fishing time. After 9 1/2 hours of fishing, with a good share of it in the rain, our grand total for the day was one 25 incher for my Dad. Very brutal day action-wise. Tried everything we could think of and just couldn't get anything going.
Joe, cool pics!

Location: NW WI | Fished Flambeau and Pokegamon (Flambeau Chain in northern WI) Saturday from sunup till 2 PM. Water temps from 68.5 to 69.2. Had two follows in the AM and that was it. Fished lots of different structure and depths. Big baits and small baits....mostly natural colors. I thought the action would pick up before the rains came and the wind switched.....but it never happened.
But it was a great day on the water! |

| Caught my 1st musky of the season, and 4th musky ever, a 28". Still learning, lost a mid-30's to not paying attention to details: too close to structure, fish charged the lure on a rip and lost all interest when I paused to take up slack and saw me right on top of it. Also learned that my net sucks. Have a new Beckman Fin Saver bag ordered as of today. Pic tells the story on that one. Poor little guy took a hook to the side of the head on a big leap, but swam strong so hopefully will make it. Both fish moved on an ERC Double D.

Location: APPLETON, WI | Hammskie - 6/7/2010 8:13 AM Hit the water at five with Mr. Hoyer and Nelson... what a sunrise.... +1 The sunrise on Saturday morning was amazing. It was somewhere between 5:20 a.m. - 5:40 a.m. and it was completely red/orange. I took these right outside my buddy's house before heading down to the launch.

Location: Blaine, MN | Went to WI for the MN opener. Fished w/ a friend from work from 430 pm to 915 pm. He got a nice 42" and I got a scrappy 30". Moved 7 others. Moved fish in the rain and when it cleared up. Also, had the lake to ourselves most of the evening. That was really nice. |

| Shaley, judging from the markings on your fish that sure looks like an odd colored tiger, the cheek pattern carry's it so I think you have yourself a cool looking tiger!

Location: Northwest Wisconsin | Saturday got out for 3 hours early in the morning and didn't see anything but got to take my niece to a kids fishing event and that made up for it and then some. Can't wait to get her out in the boat for some panfish,bass and northern fishing. Sunday got out for awhile and had 3 lazy follows. Monday headed to Lake Namakagon and had 2 follows , almost had one but she hit the twister tail behind the hooks :(. All and all a good extended weekend on waters I'm hoping to learn this summer. |
