As soon as we get a nice day for me....Last season it was 63 degrees today and tonight we will set a record low! I'm about 2 more weeks from a nervous breakdown! I watch fishing shows just to see people standing in the boats in water, like it's some impossible feat! Amazing the things that amaze you when you have cabin fever.

I just saw the forecast for chicagoland ......62 degrees next weekend with rain in the preceding days! If they are actually correct with this forecast (for a change) we might be out on the water the 22nd Phil. I am getting my boat out of storage this weekend with aspirations of fishing without my waders on the 22nd.

I told my boat it will be on the water March 26, she is ready and I am pumped to go. Bring on the Cave, high water or not I need to get slimed.

February 21st was my first day on the water. We were on Lake Kincaid. Didn't catch anything but it sure felt good to be in the boat and casting.

I hope to get out this next week; the small 10hp limit lake I fish near here went from being 34' down to over flowing the spillway, and will allow boat launching. I will attempt to hunt down, lure out and hook up the musky I captured 2 yrs. ago; a 26-27" behemoth that should be at least a 30"er by now...lights...cameras...reactions...

Within a couple of days of when I hear the ice has left the Musky Waters of Indiana, unless I get down to Kinkaid. Al

First day on the water this year will be May 10 for walleyes. I can't fish muskies until June 7. The walleye fishing will give me a chance to make sure the boat is ready for some real fish in June.

Keep your hooks sharp.

Joe (Luke, Lunch),
If it's that nice this weekend I am definately going to be out after I prep my boat. If the following week is nice I'm sure I'll be out Wednesday & Friday for sure and possibly Monday. God I can't wait!!!!

It is going to be close, either Webster or Tippy if it opens up before the last week of March, or Cave Run the last week of March.

I'll be out as soon as there is open water on Lake Geneva. Unfortunately, I won't be casting for musky until late May on the Manitowish Chain. Until then, I'll go for panfish, I guess. At least the lines will be wet.

Just picked up the new "Musky Edition" over the weekend and I'm going NUTS!

After the freezing weather I experienced this weekend, I think we will have open water hopefully by the july 4th weekend. I had an ear feeze and fall off walking from my suburban to the expo and I can't find my left nipple.

Todd,

Check with the chick at the pizza joint. See if she kept it as a souvenier.

April 12 (Only a month away).

Normally I would have to wait until June 7 like the rest of Minnesota, but this year my muskie fishing will be delayed until at least June 16 as I will be on a honeymoon in Alaska. Leaving for a honeymoon on muskie opener? That is almost a sin. I think she planned it that way.

Hope to be throwing muskie baits by the first of April, give or take a week, in Iowa.  Will probably cast a couple before then, but will be in a non-muskie river, but who knows.  Gotta try out the new baits ASAP.
