It has been mentioned on another site that there is talk about next year's season being open until December 31st according to the Musky Alliance and the DNR, does anybody know any more details on this?

The question was voted on as an advisory question at this years Conservation Congress meeting and passed (if I remember correctly), so it will likely be a full question at this years meeting. If it passes I assume it could be enacted quickly if desired.

Keep in mind that this late close (if it happens) will only be south of HWY 10. Mr Musky you have more than a year to find out. Check the 2009 regs when they come out to be sure.

Sounds like a great idea to me! Makes alot more sense then opening it early.

South of hwy 10 make more sense.....most lakes would get ice at north of hwy 10! Ice fishing? Better left muskies alone until late spring for open season! I should not say anything because Illinois is open all year around....good thing that many lakes is 48" minium for muskies!
Good to see that some lakes get 50" minium and many 40" minium in Wisconsin! I noticed that two lakes that I know so far is that muskies minium is 28"!!!!! I think Robert Lake and other that I can't remember but 28"?????
Too many muskies or slow growing muskies?

Mostly slow growth. Just like some lakes that can grow big fish, they have larger limits and some that can't, they have lower limits. It all depends on that lake.

It is true the Southern Zone (Hwy 10) will be open until the end of December in 09'.

The divorce courts will be busy with musky guys after a day on the water on Christmas.

It sure would be nice to spend my birthday(15th) on Ochachee. I don't think she could say much about that.
