Location: Corning, Iowa | We had the best vacation ever this year. My wife and I took a grandson to the Goon. Just to watch him, and all the great sites, we saw, were worth the trip. You don't see any moose, or linx, in SW Iowa. We caught alot of fish, nothing huge, but respetable.If you don't have a good time, and put too much pressure on yourself, it's no fun.Just keep trying,it will come. Have fun Doug |

Location: Madison, WI | Now that my season is over, i've had the last few days to reflect. I've fished with some great people, had many great conversation, and learned more than I thought I would in the beginning of the season. I've met and fished with over 13 people from the boards this year. I'd say that out weighs any fish I could have caught. Next year i hope to maintain my learning curve, met some new people and fish with the old ones. As Jeremy said, it's not about the fish.. ..It's about the experience. |

a couple thoughts
Muskies, maybe more so than any other fish I have chased, are on or off.
Last year I went to Andy Myers Lodge for a week of guided days and caught zip. Saw 27 one day not bites
this year I went to Andy Myers Lodge for a week of guided days and caught 8
Also, fished 3 days on Vermillion and the second day I caught 2 muskies over 50 inches in three casts. you just never know.
Both years I was out on prime waters with people who know the water and what was working then. One year was with the right conditions and the other wasn't. Oh not to forget, I learned a lot the first year at Eagle and hooked most of those fish this year on the eight. They like to hit at the boat on Eagle.
Keep on trucking |
