Location: WI | Fish were very sluggish. 4 lazy follows on gliders and a jr cowgirl, and one 32" in the boat. I need to remember to bring the net next time, that was quite the fiasco! Water temps are down 10 degrees since last weekend. |

Location: Cedarburg, Wisconsin | Tough. Fished a club outing. Water temps were way down from a few weeks ago, weeds beds were massive, fish were hard to come by unless you count non-targeted species which were a pain in the butt. There were some unusually large fish that followed though, so that was a plus. At least the cool dark weather was a joy to fish in for a change.
I was chasing my tail all weekend. Started with surface baits and bucktails. Heard about one nice fish caught on a jerkbait, so started to throw a few of them, taking out the surface baits. Then I heard about a big one that followed a topwater, so I added more topwater and stopped throwing bucktails. Then a big one followed a bucktail so I went to a few cranks to get ahead of the game and still went down in flames. Ah, musky fishing at its finest. Makes you look dumb and takes away any thoughts of figuring them out that you ever had. My partner had one pushing 50" follow about an inch behind a Slop Master spinnerbait slow rolled in thick milfoil choked cabbage. |

| Fished local lakes saturday and sunday. Couple follows and had a fish blow up on the weagle before I yanked the bait right from her mouth.
Sunday was very slow, threw bulldawgs most of the day into pods of baitfish in 15-20 fow with nothing to show.
Getting plenty of action but have yet to boat the first of 2010. Frustrating.

| Fished the Petenwell Flowage friday afternoon until sunday afternoon putting up a big zero. One northern to show for our efforts. Fished a bunch of spots with variety. Even trolled a bit sunday. Not sure on follows, as if they didn't have their nose on the bait, you probably weren't going to see them. It was a nice peaceful place to fish, with very minimal boat traffic, and quiet.

| He's too modest to report it, but the Allegheny River Kid nailed a nice 43" on a tough shad somewhere in Western PA. That's a fine fish for this neck of the woods. Go Kid. |

| Boated 36" and 40" Musky's on my new favorite bait---a BS Willy topwater. But the highlight of the weekend was a 21", 5-1/2 lb Smallmouth on a Wisher Lure Musky bucktail. He had some great attitude.

Location: Mayville, WI | Battled the wet weather in northern WI for a 38, 42 tiger, and 44. Had 3 other hits that never found the net. Everything on rubber fished agonizingly slow. Tried for smallies as well, but they didn't cooperate.

| Fished Sunday night and missed a small fish boatside in 4 fow with thick cabbage. Got out last night on a local lake and missed 3 fish. Everything was on baits fished ridiculously fast for the conditions. Bulged Cowgirl, pacemaker throwing a 3 foot wake and a mepps run 2-3" below the surface. |
