Posts: 32884 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | lambeau's net's been busy, as 4 hit the frabill already, I'll let him tell the story.( Correction, now it's 5) First Six Feet had 2 in the first hour last night, he called while I was plying the blackop roads of Minnesota. Merckid, lambeau and friends are on the local waters by the Hideout tonight, it's venison on the grill when they return. I'm on the water tomorrow in the brand spankin' new ride..took most of the evening to get her water ready.

| the muskies were pretty cooperative for us up in Oneida/Vilas county. when i got up on Friday i hopped out on a Rhinelander area lake, and put a couple in the net, a 34" on a Showgirl, a 36" on a BS Willy creeper, and an undersized kicker fish. saw one bigger fish, but it was late and lazy behind the bucktail. also had another fish blow up the creeper but miss. Saturday morning i met up with Andy (agrimm) and we hit an Eagle River area lake early morning to catch the moonrise/sunrise combo. being the first boat on the lake paid off with a skinny 39" for me and a healthy 46" for him on a pounder; i lost a low 40s that threw a curly sue as well. once the boats showed up, we headed home for an afternoon nap. i went back out on a small Rhinelander area lake that night with Merckid. once the sun angle got a bit lower i had a chunky 39" demolish a minnowbait at boatside; it went completely airborne when it hit, then finished things off with an alligator roll up the line right into the rod where it managed to break the tip off and destroy the lure. one of the more expensive fish i've ever caught... Sunday was long and hot, fishing on the LdF reservation with just one fish at dusk that shot into the air behind my top raider but completely missed. Monday morning i met up with Dave (daved) in Eagle River but only had one disinterested follow on a topwater. i thought the wind would get 'em going but it wasn't the case. as always, hospitality at the Hideout was second to none, thanks Steve!

Posts: 1764 Location: Ogden, Ut | Cooperative? I'd say. Nice run lambeau. Out here they were nuts. I fished 2 matches - Friday and Sunday; fished the better part of the day on each. Friday we put 20 fish in the boat from 27.5-35 inches (16 being 30 and over). Sunday wasn't nearly as lively, but ultimately much more rewarding with 2 fish hitting the bottom of the net. One was a beautiful 45.5" tiger (the pic is on the matchfishing thread so I won't re-post it). Due to equipment SNAFUs, that particular fish had to be fought the last 30' or so using the old 'hand over hand' method - hand lining ain't so tough...  A couple of interesting coincidences w/ that bigger fish were that we were fishing against Bump Board Buddies, I was planer board trolling, over open water, using a rainbow trout pattern J-13 Rapala, and my substitute partner (Larry Davis) - circumstances all the same as when I got my big one last year!

| It wasnt Muskie fishing but my wife and I had a blast for a few hours Sunday night on the Ohio River playing with some nice flatheads. Went through 24 bluegills in 4 hours. Rich W Attachments ---------------- Flathead #2.JPG (80KB - 76 downloads) Flathead.JPG (54KB - 68 downloads) | |||

| Was able to spend some time in MN with my father this weekend - We were able to put three nice fish (42-48") in the boat. Love when the wind blows on MN waters  | |||

Posts: 299 Location: Nowheresville, MN | The wind was definetly bllowing in MN ALL weekend. Made for some tough fishing. Saturday evening was the best action we had. Lost one, caught one, lost a big fish (50ish) at the boat, and 10 minutes later got this 51.25". Most of the activity was <11' and on blades. Nothing was happening for us mainlake, then again it was blowing so dang hard fishing it properly was a spray-and-pray at best.
