Weekend Cold front shut them down again!
Lori, Dad, and I were out on High falls. Lori had a "get the heck out of my living room" bump from her favorite bait (Topper stopper), A toothy critter shredded the heck out of my favorite suzy, and I had one musky blow my Weagle out of the water, like she had a temper tantrum, besides my mom saying, "I want your hat (shack attack lures hat). I put up with you for 40 years now, I think it's a fair trade" (#*^@, my favorite hat).

A buddy and I fished the IMTT Sat on Pewaukee..The fish were moving for us all day long,but all we could manage during hours were a few shorties and 3 missed oppurtunites on legal fish..Stayed fishing after hours till 9 and had a chance to redeem ourselves, but instead we dug an even deeper hole. My buddy lost a nice (NICE!) fish over deep water on a jig,I lost an upper 30s on a sucker and than my buddy missed a 40 at the boat..
Sun I had a full day trip on Pewaukee and fishing wasnt as fast and furious, but we did boat 2 shorties in the morning casting. Fish were killing live bait all day, but by the time I got to the rod they had already dropped the sucker..Very frustrating..

Last trip of the year to Mille Lacs and all I can report is a couple of 42-43" follows, it was slow! The pike were chomping ok but that was about it.
Oh yeah and I was busy musky fishing this weekend so I didn't call this girl I recently met. I told her I'd talk to her when I got back but I've gathered I'm already in the dog house! So basically I have an upset woman on my hands and no fish to show for it. Some days a guy just can't win.
... at least I didn't meet her at the start of the musky season, got to look at the bright side I suppose

Was on Okauchee sat and the muskies were not to be seen. Northerns on the other hand went nuts and were everywhere. Caught 4 northers with only one being decent. Caught one trolling on Lower Okauchee on my way out to the main lake. The others were caught casting. Saw about 5 more little northerns. Water temp is down to about 65.

Consolidated Musky CLub Inc. Musky club outing held this past Saturday. 12 fishermen attended the event and people could fish any lke they chose, with 5 fish boated. There were 4 muskies in my partners boat that I fished out of, though we caught only three of the 4.... A walleye guy hooked a nice fish while we drifted a shoreline and after a long battle we offered the use of our musky net, to which he happily accepted and jumped into our boat to finish the fight for. Somehow he got the jump crazed 43.5"er close enough on his light tackle for me to net. Yup, hooked right in the ole' corner. That was the highlight. Ohh, my partner(Erik Hanson) won the outing and got a nice dusty trophy(hadn't been a fish caught in the event for a fw years).

Sounds like a tough weekend all around. Fished Little Sturgeon Bay on Saturday and Okauchee on Sunday. Saw lots of small fish, mostly pike I think. Little pike were going nuts on a Weagle on Sunday evening. Picked up this ~40" pike on Saturday on a mag dawg. Made my weekend.

Went down to Sheboygan to try shore fishing for salmon. Hiked to a place I usually fish from, took a few casts and hooked a nice king. He ran out a bunch of line, I wiped out trying to get around some boulders and the line hooked a rock. It was the only lure I brought with me (confident and stupid). I hiked out, went to a buddy's house in Oshkosh, watched football and drank beer for the next day and a half.

Fished Mille Lacs Saturday from noon until 9:00. One big pike, not even a follow, the wind was out of control. Fished spots in the west and east; weeds and rocks.

I did not think the fishing was too bad, saturday morning was cold and slow but once it started to warm up, so did the fishing. I hit the lakes with FRV and muskiefirst member muskystalker who makes some really cool looking bucktails. We ended saturday with 6 fish, lost 2 and 4 hits and seen a few more. Sunday we lost one seen two before the clouds came and we fished a clear lake and seen two more before I boated a chunky mid 30's fish.
We stayed up where Firstsixfeet was staying. Cool guy. I took him to one of the lakes I fish , he was literally 100ft from the ramp, about his 3rd cast on a lake he had never seen before and gets a 36"er. Was way cool. What's up with these kentucky guys and shorts? At 7am on sunday it was around 40 at best and Firstsixfeet is fishing in SHORTS!

Water temp was 57 where I was. Caught a 40, and a 36 while trolling a 10 inch Believer. First fish ever caught trolling, and 1st on a crankbait for me..and 40 is my PB. Didn't get a very good pic since I was alone. Oh well, it was a total fiasco..I ended up drifting into, and hitting a bouy while fighting the 40..ha!

Made up for the 'no fishing' thing this weekend tonight. I hit the water for an hour and a half, and popped a very nice fish on a Weagle. That's 12 trips in a row the Weagle or Rumbler has scored a fish over 40" for me or a boat partner, the topwater bite up here has been spectacular.
For some reason the DVR won't let me download the video, and I only was able to record part of the clip. Oh well, the muskie was a good one and was released in the water. Decided not to net her since I was alone, just let her go at boatside.
The video quality won't be real good, it's actually video of a video...

Fished quinte this past sunday,not a bad day for sightings,not good for hookups.Raised six between my partner and myself.Had one heavy fish eat the bull dawg way out at the end of a cast on touch down,set real hard into the fish,two head shakes and gone,never saw the fish but it felt real good and chewed my brand new carp unptown dawg real good.My partner lost a mid forty inch fish on a figure 8 at boat side,instantly on instantly off.He also landed a small 25 inch fish on a black gold barred suick.Very active gar pike this sunday regularly following to boatside.On the good side i raised quite possibly the biggest fish i have ever seen maybe will ever see and had her follow three big full 8s before dissappearing.Raised her on a Dcowgirl silver blades black tinsel,guys i mean this fish was huge,55 to 58 inch super thick shovel head with incredible girth i am thinking a fifty pound class fish,one giant big beautiful brown lake ontario giant,i cant stop thinking about her and my hands are shaking right now as i type this,awsome truly awsome.Raised one other fish about 52 to 54 inches another really awsome fish that bolted at boat side but no where near the build of that other fish not even close.So to summarize not a bad day and some truly awsome sightings,i cant stop thinking about that one fish,the best looking girl i have ever seen in my life,i am truly blesed to have seen her,a very moving moment of muskie fishing for me and my boat partner.

Joe, how come you put Orme on a 55, Peggy on a 53 and Ben on a 52 and you can't put me on anything other than crappies in the spring. I wonder if my lack of skill has anything to do with it...

Yes, that's very true! I got a phone call at 3am in the morning saying they just finished shaving Mike's head. In fact, I still have the message on my phone, quite funny. Of course they were a little intoxicated. lol
