Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | We'll arrive around 3:30. The mapping party is always a good time, and then we'll go check for fish on all our haunts until dark. Going to be a great trip. Watch for daily reports right here.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | No video yet that I know of, but everyone is on the water. Sue can't fish muskies anymore (arthritis-- big time), so we split our time here when not working between Sue enjoying her time on the water making sure the Worrall Cabin Spring Bay Fish Fry is secure and watching me cast for muskies.
Reports from the lake from the folks who stopped by us to see if the Fish fry is on are that everyone is seeing fish and a couple we lost this morning. It's cloudy and windy, so someone should score today.
The plan to SMOKE the big crappies on Berkley Minnow Grubs panned out nicely with a limit averaging almost 11", caught way more. Biggest was just under 14". Biggest Gill was 10". We will eat well here with the fish we are filleting, the Spring Bay Steak Fry, and Friday's fish fry/award banquet.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Three muskies were reported so far today, need to get camera cards for two of them. Spring Bay has a Big Pike prize of a Tooth Tamer rod, so everyone is taking pictures of the larger Pike as well.
Lance Olson popped a 45" Muskie and a 38.5" Pike this afternoon on a double 10.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | 7 Muskies so far, and numerous big Pike up to 42". The bite has been good during the daytime, with most of the fish coming during the daylight hours or not too far after dark. The first dockside video will be up as soon as the internet signal here allows.
Shaley got a 44 and a 47 this morning, and his boat partner Ed Nelson boated a 39.5 and a 42" Pike. The rest of the fish are on cards that haven't been dropped off yet, but all are in the 40's except the samller Muskie I got tonight.
Tomorrow we have the Suick dockside, and directly following the Worrall Cabin fish fry. This year we have so many attending we are cooking the fish down on the deck where the Steak Fry and awards fish fry are held, with two big deep fryers in action. Steve, Sue, and I made sure we have enough for everyone.
Steve has been guiding walleyes regularly, and has been spanking 'em pretty good as well.
We have never had more prizes to give away. All in all, this has been a great trip, and it's only Monday.

| Good work guys, keep the pics coming. Looks like that guy from Iowa Knows a thing or two about catching muskies. Put the hurt on 'em Shaley,but don't show the others everything you know. Now stop screwing around with those sub 50s and lets see some Big Vermilion fish. Good luck to all.

Location: Minnesota. | Jealous here. I have a flyfishing trip planned to west Yellowstone in a few weeks. I'm having a hard time not thinking Suicks!
"Trout....the other white meat!"
Hmmm. Nice pics all around. Also I appreciate Steve's Suick tips vid. I just found that was referenced in an earlier post.
Maybe next year....

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Mike Brown with a good fish from last night. Jason Harkner has a 42.5, a 46.25, and a 37" Pike.
We moved a couple tonight, both clipped the bait with no hook-up. Lots of Pike today for some reason.
The Worrall Cabin Fish Fry was a great time. If anyone left that lunch hungry, they didn't try hard enough. Thanks to everyone who brought a side dish, and thanks to Steve for the fish cooker and the help! All in all, this place seriously rocks.
Shaley put another in the net.
Some very nice Pike have been caught, too.
Tonight we have New york Strip steaks on the grill, with all the fixins.

| It has been a few years since I have been to Spring Bay Resort. One of the best resorts I have ever stayed at. They treat there guest very well also. Oh and of course fishing Lake Vermilion is self explanatory. |

And another muskie that came through in a text. AR!
