It's soft water season for many of us in the southern reaches, so you that got out...how did you do?

My boat got out for about 5 hours, didnt see a #*^@ thing, broke 1 old trust lure and left a new one in a tree. Thanks Newbies!

Tried throwing from shore for a little bit to try out a couple of new reels. After my buddy snagged the second dock piling and I had to launch my son's rowboat to retrieve $50 worth of lures I gave up. Stuck my arm in the lake to the shoulder to get one and I'd guess the water was around 38F. I think I'll wait a couple weeks yet...

On the positive side, the Toro Beast rocks and the Indiana Muskie Alliance Lure Swap was great. Good bunch of folks out there...

HTH,
RandalB

Gorgeous mid march weather here in central Wi. River flow too fast and high just yet but should be good to go in a week or two. Got the boat out in the driveway, replaced the fuel filter, hooked up the flusher, and fired it up; smoked out the neighborhood(fogging mosquitoes). Spooled new line on the spinning reels. All set for the next warmup!

Shoreline right near the castle/mansion on the right side as you go into Marie from Channel. Skinny tree among a few friends. 5" slammer twitch bait. She's yours if you can get it.

Typically dont post my fishing results, but what the heck. I got out saturday and a super short morning on sunday. Saturday was solid for me. Got 4 and lost 2 others at the net. Was fishing solo so netting with a 9'6" is always intersting. 1st fish was caught in 1st 30 min of fishing right at moon 8:40. The rest were spread out through the day. Water temps main lake 46-47. Found warm water areas way up shallow that hit up to 53.5. All fish were caught in less than 5 feet and in water warmer than 49. 1st fish was biggest 45 then 41, 40 and a 39. The 2 i lost a net were may e 40ish? Saturday was central illinois and sunday went to a lake closer to home. Sunday got rained on but managed a 37ish fish? And also snagged a 45ish fatty in the gut. My sharp hooks ripped through its gut as i tried netting felt bad for scaring the fish so packed up and headed home to bake a lasgna and a cheesecake. So yeah fun day out for my 1st run. And hey averaging a EATING muskie every 1.85 hours or so of fishing this year.. not bad! I will try to post pics after posting this but for some reason it never works for me on here.

Thanks for sharing Chris...glad to see someone's catching....nice fish and solid action!

I haven't tried for muskies yet, but got the boat in on Lake Geneva for Trout on Saturday. First time messing with a downrigger. Got one shaker on a dipsy and that was that. Great to be back out on a beautiful day!

Made our first trip for the year on Saturday. Had 4 good follows and one eat at moonrise. Made for a great day for the first time out this year.

Up here in ND I have had the kayak out 3 times and the new boat out 3 days now, doing well on bass but the musky waters are still iced over. But hopefully this week most the lakes clear up.

Got out yesterday for a few hours, ended up sticking this 46" tank! Broke my rod on the hook set, so I ended up heading home after she was released.. Well worth it! Fishing solo so the pic isn't the best unfortunately.
