Location: Ogden, Ut | All I managed to do was aggravate my tendonitis. No fish Sat., took Sun. off
Nice cold front went thru though, actually comfortable in long pants and sleeves again.
Next front will put snow in the mtns.

Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | Fished Palmer and T-foot. Had a monster take a sucker, but not the treb, and rose 6 more..alot of lookers no takers. The key was to find green cabbage. Every fish we saw was hunkered into healthy cabbage.
Water temps up by me were 64.3º on Saturday and 63.3º on Sunday. |

Location: Athens, Ohio | I fished a new lake in West Virginia Saturday, they have only been stocking muskies there since 2003. I raised a nice mid-30's on a bucktail and had her dancing around the boat but she would not eat. Some bass guys got her about a half hour later on a crank bait. Really nice, clear water lake on the Hughes River system, lots of flooded timber and baitfish. Can't wait for temps to cool a bit, this could be a fun place. The bass guys were saying I was the first muskie guy they'd seen there. Hmm. m |

| Have to agree with John. Every fish I've had contact with in the past week has been in the helthy cabbage on about 10-12 foot breaks. |

Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | It's not because of a lack of fish, it's because the cops are at my door every 5 minutes. |

Location: Yahara River Chain | MuskieMike, great to meet you and have you aboard my Tuffy. Its a good thing you caught one big enough that I could see to net it. 
I wish we could have seen more - but that how she goes. Maybe next time.
Hows about them Badgers, upsetting the Wolverines? I thought they were going to blow it for sure!

| once again, for the 2nd weekend in a row. didn't catch poop, see poop or even smell poop. that was after i finished looking for my 60$ sweatshirt that blew out of the boat, AND, on the way to find it/make sure i didn't leave it in the house, my little speakers and mp3 player blew out of the boat. speakers float, mp3 player detached and sank. i hate wind.
i know, i know, i shoulda had that stuff put away, but #*^@ if i wasn't excited to be out on the water and forgot.
230 in the hole. lesson learned. |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | Actually a weekday report. Fished Shawano this morning for a few hours in the pouring rain with Wisconsin Wade moved one fish that was probably a muskie. Pretty brutal out on the main lake. |
