| A little windy up north. My trolling motor battery is DOA so after a few hours of fast drifting I got fed up with pulling weeds off the big motor. I had one strike (I don't think it was legal sized) at boatside on a double topkick in just under 3ft of water. Water temps were 57-59*. I had action, at this point that's enough to satisfy. | |||

Posts: 229 Location: Plover, WI | First of all, a big Thank you to Norm for offering up his open seat to my dad and I on Sunday. The Three Lakes chain was the destination and after being blown around the lake for 6 hours, and catching lots of pike, I finally connected on a fish. A strong fight, and a great net job by my dad resulted in my P.B., a 46+" beauty. The fish was caught in 5 feet of water with weeds present. The water temp was around 60 degrees. After a few pics and a measurement, she swam away strong. Thanks again to Norm and my dad. A great time was had.

Posts: 1996 Location: Pelican Lake/Three Lakes Chain | lambeau - 5/28/2007 8:22 PM nice work Mike! i guess it's time to change your screen name? LOL, We talked about that in the boat after the catch Sunday. It was a tough day Sunday right up to about 6:00 when it turned into a great day. That was one awesome fight to watch, and I don't think I could have wrestled that net away from your dad, I think he wanted to net that one. It was kind of strange just being an observer in my boat, I'm really not use to that. I had a great time in the boat with the two of you, Congrats! | ||

Posts: 114 Location: New London, Wisconsin | Took the family out Sat. morning and ended up with enough perch for a fish fry. Had a blast with the girls(daughters 9 & 4 and wife) and so did they. As a "re-born" musky hunter (about 1 years removed for various reasons) I am happy to report a first legal (35.5") Sunday just after noon. I was pumped up and it was a blast. Just wish the weather was nicer so my 9 year old could have been along. Good luck to you guys! It's great to be back in the musky ranks....

Posts: 2068 Location: Appleton,WI | Had alot of fish moving on saturday!Seamed like big baits in the green weeds worked.Saw a nice tuffy with 3 guys buddled up real well on sunday on the three lakes chain.(Maybe it was Norm)Anyways caught this female 40" that was dropping eggs when i picked her up,and a nice 38"er to back her up.Caught 2 undersized and what seamed like a gazillion snake northerns. On monday had a mid 40's shake her head at the side of the boat to throw the bait before I could get the net under her and her little brother prolly a 36-37"er to lose me in the weeds. Thanks to Jerry Podmarsky for taking a picture of me with my fish on the water.Could find a boat one the chain had to drive back 4 lakes to find a boat!!Thanks jerry!!!

| Fished the UP on Friday, and then northern Vilas Saturday and Sunday. Put 2 small fish in the boat, lost 3, had multiple strikes with no connection, and lots of follows. Fish were shallow, weed related and chasing small gliders, bucktails, and topwaters. Found water temps from 58 to 64. We fished several smaller, dark water lakes and found most of our action arond the middle of the day. Also got 10-12 small pike, twitching shallow raiders. And what a joy that wind was. Dave | |||

Location: New Richmond, WI | It was the best opener I ever had. Opening day a 52 at 7:30 A.M. and a 42 1/2 at 1:30. The fishing died after the cold front came in. Caught the 52 trolling coming up on a shallow sandbar. The 42 1/2 came in 9 ft of water throwing a muskie treat. Fishing by myself, I was lucky to find some guys willing to take my picture. Picture doesn't do the 52 justice, I should of held it different, still better than no picture at all. Both fish swam away great.
