Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | How did the muskies treat you Saturday and Sunday? Sue and I fished for three hours Sunday night and moved only two, Saturday we fished a small lake and smacked multi-specie around pretty well.
How'd you do? |

Location: Oconomowoc, WI | Took my 10 year old son, Zach, out Saturday morning and he got his best yet. A nice fat 44 incher! Talk about proud father and son. Can't wait to see the pictures and the look on his face. Needless to say, it was easier than ever to wake him up Sunday morning to go again. Nothing boated on Sunday although he had another great fish up that missed the bait. Best weekend ever! |

Location: oswego, il | We got 6 short fish and lost 4 more, 3 of those were legals. We also boated 27 bass just short of 14". It looks like anything legal is kept out of this lake.
I had another fish bust my superline. Both times it was a nice fish and both times busted me off on the vicious strike. I have never had a problem with mono or flourocarbon, I won't troll with superline again. |

| Todd Are you backing off on your drag while trolling? You have to back it off just above the point where it is stripping off the reel when trolling with superbraid. No stretch. Use your thumb to stop a fish and tighten your drag back up to reel it in. Am I making sense?

| No lines wetted here last weekend, just lips!! Men's Weekend II (Lake Wawasee) was an absolute blast!!! Will be up to St Clair the next couple weekends and 9/9-12---drop me a line if you're up. Will be out on the local lakes here (IN) next week if anyone needs a partner or a place to stay.

Got a nice 44" on a buzzbait.
The back of the carrier has been good to me this year. |

Location: oswego, il | Muskiemachinery, yes they were. Actually I had the drag all the way loose. I can equate the hit to what a backlash would be, that kind of force. Both have instantly snapped the line on me. I will bring another trolling rod with a reel spooled with mono for now on when I want to hold the 5th rod in the propwash, that way there is no more problems. |

| muskies in my local lake have been very cold for 3 weeks now. Not a tail last 3 times out, total of maybe 18 hours. Threw everything but a gernade. Hours trying to learn the jig technique I've learned from Worrall and MuskyOne.
