Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin		40 anglers are in camp with a few more due as the weather turns to...well, not nice. Big winds whipped up the lake tonight, and local TV is asking viewers to tune in in the morning to see how much snow accumulates.

It's going to be cold and a bit unfriendly out there, but everyone is ready to roll once we get past the snow early tomorrow. winds will be an issue, of course!

No idea what will happen to the bite for muskies, but walleyes are big, deep, and easy. Reports are crappies are moving out of the bays so we'll be trolling tomorrow almost certainly for slabs.

More as we get on the water tomorrow!

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin		4 to 5" of snow and a gale out of the west with snow squalls. A few folks froze out already, which is understandable, it didn't get above freezing today and probably won't until Friday mid day. If anyone stuck one today, we'll get it posted!

The first photograph should be posted in the thread: You know you’re a Muskie fisherman when.

You are all true die hards. Have a great time.

This would be a time where the small, aluminum shovel I take ice fishing would come in handy for open water fishing.

And that pic fosters a new "Whats best for..." question.

"What's the best snow throw/blower for muskie fishing????"

Good luck everyone and be safe.

LOL, if Diogenes was still around he could put away his lamp because he would have found an honest man!

with 4-5" deep of snow up there, I think Diogenes may just be too deep for the typical muskie fanatic. It's possible I might look that up later, but not probable. Die-ahg-gin-knees? Dye-oh-jeans?

Be safe, have fun, and it just takes one biggie to make it all worth it. I'll be braving a flag football game tomorrow and two soccer games Sunday, then back to being cozy inside.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin		The temps for today more than likely will not reach above freezing but that's not stopping most of us from trying our luck on the water. Steve Amundson had a guided trip this morning for walleyes and the bite was hot with four anglers limiting out. Most of the musky fisherman have been soaking lures but they are starting to see a few fish. The crappie bite is really off do to the cold front and there is a few pike and bass being caught. Steve Amundson and Steve Worrall both did a dock side seminar mid day and everyone that attended got a free bait or two thanks to Suick Lure Company, Spring Bay Resort, Vexan Lures, Tackle Industries, Violent Strike Lures and OutdoorsFIRST.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin		A 44 was caught this morning, Steve and Keith and I put a half dozen walleyes in the boat shooting a Spring Bay resort piece, and the weather has improved from cloudy, windy, and snow to cloudy, windy and sleet/rain. Dinner at 7:30 tonight, and we'll hand out some prizes!

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin		Wrap up for the final day of the event

The weather continued to be tough with heavy winds rain and sleet through out but everyone had a great time here at Spring Bay Resort. One 44'' musky was caught while trolling in 30' of water for walleye and a few nice walleyes and bass were boated as well. The biggest pike of the event was a nice 38 incher and the biggest walleye was a hefty 26 1/2'' er. OutdoorsFIRST Media would like to give a Big thanks to everyone who attended this years fall outing and to Spring Bay Resort for another great outing and our sponsors = Suick Lure Company, Vexan , Ozark Rods and Violent Strike Lures.

There were a TON of anglers on the water. Not only was this outing full but Vermillion Dam Lodge was having n outing that week. I'm not sure what the real issue is with Vermillion.

One thing I think I know is that this is one of the most pressured Muskie lakes in MN

Don't know a thing about Vermillion but couldn't it just be one of those times? Remember when the PMTT fished Green Bay, and no one caught a fish? Not a single fish. We know Green Bay has muskies, some giants in fact, but some of the best musky fishermen around spent a lot of time on the water there and caught nothing. Stuff happens. I think Forest Gump said that.

It's year after year after year on Vermilion. The population is way down compared to 10 years ago because the lake it too big for the current level of stocking. It's more "just one of those times" when the lake is ON.
