Do you have any plans for next year to fish water you have never been to before?

I am going to get out with Slamr on some of that Indiana water, fish a small lake up by the Goon reputed to be full of muskies, and hit a couple lakes around here I haven't fished for many years.

I plan on fishing several lakes in the Northern Minn area. All new water to me. Will be up north for 2 weeks for sure, possibly a third. I definately plan on hitting lake X Shady One.

New water has been awesome to us the last two years. I had three for next year but crossed one off the list for a few years. One is iffy, getting to it and then launching an 1850 are a matter of conditions. The other is shelbyville, I would like to fish it a few times when my home waters are "off".

Indiana (thanks Tom H. and Steve H.) and MN waters, both of which I have never tried for Musky! I also plan to try the St. Lawrence River sometime in 2004.

Georgian Bay, Eagle Lake and Longlegged Lake are still on my list for 2005.

There are so many lakes in Oneida and Vilas counties and so little time. I make a list each winter of new lakes I want to explore, and didn't get to them all last year. A couple lakes will carry over and a couple more will be added. Still looking for that Lake X.

Exploring new waters is one of the best parts of musky fishing, and its even better when the "new" lake goes on the list of old reliables.

Having a bigger boat is going to open up some larger waters for me....not that the 1690 isnt stable, but having an 1810 with a console is going to let me get out into Green Bay and Lake Michigan off the Chicago coast (for [gasp!] smallies). Also want to get more into trolling and dragging with downriggers, so going to seek out more waters big enough, and where the laws allow, for that kind of fishing.

Somehow I haven't made it to St. Clair, as close as I am. So that's where I'm headed next season.

Good fishin', happy holidays to all,

Going to probally have to hit waters closer to home which means trying the Fox Chain again. Goal next year is to learn the other Indiana waters better (ToddM. and Matt knows what I am talking about), also I gota to crack Shebyville, and I am going to try not to miss hitting Kinkaid or my favorite Kentucky lakes, this year was the first time in over a decade that I didn't hit Kentucky and I miss her. God Bless, Al

I'm with Norm and Worrall, I love fishing small lakes in the Oneida county area. I usually fish 4 new lakes a year really hard. I hope to fish in the Rhinelander Muskie League to expand the horizons a little more.

Hey Guys,

Some of the waters I would like to fish would be the Detroit Lakes
area of Minnesota. Big Dl and Big Pelican because there are some big
fish in those lakes. Also because they are only 40 miles from Fargo/
Moorhead. I would also like to fish Miltona and spend some more time
on Leech Lake and Cass lake.

Next year......only a few short days away!!! i will continue to pound Cave Run and Green river Lake. I sure would love to get another 50" out of Green 3 straight years. Also, I plan on nailing St. clair alot again. If I get time, I want to hit Webster and Chautauqua again. been to both lakes once, and I am totally amazed at both fisheries.

If I get lucky, I would love to make it to St Lawrence or the mighty Ottawa.

An aggressive schedule indeed.  Planned trips so far: 

The Goon

LOTW (different area than last year)

Green River Lake

Kinkaid / Shelbyville

Eagle (again this year , but plan on sticking my first Muskie)

Also a one week northern Wisconsin / Minnesota adventure to as many lakes as possible.

Wish Spring was here!

I'm spending two weeks with Marc Thorpe in 2004. One late fall trip, and and a spring/summer trip as well.

So, any other "trips" will be short 2-3 day'ers. I want to fish St. Claire in my new rig and maybe Green or Georgian Bay, even 1000 Islands during the last few days of the open season.

I hope my "new" fiberglass 1970 Starcraft trolling rig is a fish magnet!!!

What or where is the "Goon"? Only new water I might hit is Tippy. I've only fished it twice, once the new(used) motor I had broke down...the other time it was like 35 out and we had no idea where to fish..still don't.

Brookville, IN: A small but well-established population of respectable fish for many years, now stocking has been boosted to 2/acre for the last 3 years. Tremendous shad base. All this & only an hour from the house.
