Posts: 32890 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I have my new Wabulls ( THANKS BALDY!!!) and my new DC9 (THANKS, KEITH!) , my new Shack Attack Suzi Sucker, (THANKS ANDY!)and my new Okuma Induron 250 (THANKS MARK!) and am on my way up this afternoon. If I don't catch a fish it won't be because I don't have the right stuff in the way of Gear. About 15 met for breakfast this morning in Presque Isle, with many more arriving tonight and tomorrow. Tuffy Boats, Rhinelander Toyota, and Toyota Trucks will be bringing you the daily fishing reports and imagery from Presque Isle. Okuma and Shack Attack are our 2007 Presque Isle Outing event sponsors. Thanks to all our promotional partners for supporting our outings and providing cool prizes. Watch this thread for daily reports on the fishing, the morning and evening get-togethers, and more from Skyview Lodge. If you are in the area and don't stop in, you will be missing a very good time. See everyone there! Attachments ----------------  DSC_0001.JPG (139KB - 209 downloads) DSC_0002.JPG (73KB - 163 downloads) | ||

Posts: 32890 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Clear skies and cool temperatures brought a tough bite in Presque Isle today. Howie Meyer said the fish are very scattered, with no real pattern developed yet. That, hopefully, will change tomorrow with the cloudy skies and chance of rain. Temperatures look pretty good for the end of October; into the low 50's and high 40's the rest of the weekend. Joel, lambeau, and Sorno have scored so far. Watch for updates tomorrow evening!

Posts: 32890 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Day two dawned foggy and cold, with no wind until late afternoon. the bite was tough, but several muskies hit the net. Temps were mainly in the 40's with a while in the sun a bit warmer. Merv and I blanked after I lost a nice Weagle Muskie. A couple boats Doubled up, with pointer Pride and Merckid putting a 'double' in the boat. Skyview fed (overfed!) us and treated us like royalty again this evening. As soon as I can get a file to Zach, you have a video treat coming...very cool clip. Everyone is having a blast!!

Posts: 32890 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Day three promised to be tough fishing from the start with 25 MPH winds and clear skies following a cold front. Breakfast at Skyview was outstanding, and within a few minutes of 8 AM one way or the other most of the MuskieFIRST 2007 Presque Isle Outing anglers were on the water. There were many reports of action on suckers, with a couple fish boated including Gander Mtn Guide's double and Sorno's 41.5, his personal best WI muskie. Merv and I got a 34ish on a sucker early, and I popped a 44.25 on a Creature just before dark. If you missed this one, you missed a VERY good time. The hospitality was incredible in Presque Isle and at Skyview, the fish were cooperative with 19 caught over Thursday afternoon to tonight, and the company was GREAT! Mike Conklyn took a 42 just a bit before Pointer prides identical fish to take home big fish honors. Rick Lax of Lax Taxidermy presented a replica of Sorno's state record Utah Hybrid Muskie Release to Kent after the awards, much to Sorno's extreme surprise. That was a fine thing to do for Sorno, guys, ands a beautiful replica! Watch for a wrap up including a listing of the top ten fish caught and video of the event Monday morning! Thanks to ALL our sponsors, and to everyone attending. Thanks also to Slamr and lambeau, without whom this outing would not have happened. great work, gentlemen.

| I had a great time this weekend. Fish weren't very kind to me the first three days with only a 25" or so Thursday and a small follow and a sucker hit Saturday. Things turned around for my boat on Sunday. Esoxaddict and I tried a new lake. I got a fat 41" that hammered a Suzy Sucker boatside from out of nowhere. EA got a tiny pike and lost an upper 30" musky on a sucker. We also each had a sucker pickup but it dropped it before we could get to the rod.

Posts: 32890 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The 2007 Presque isle Outing was a complete success, and even more importantly, everyone seemed to have a really good time. There were a total of 22 fish caught including Sunday despite FAC conditions on Friday and a cold front and big winds Saturday, gracing us with bluebird skies after a totally fogged in morning. All in all we dodged a bullet anyway with temps during the last week of October in the 50's for highs. It's been an incredible fall in the Northwoods to date! Mike Conklyn took honors for the largest fish in competition for the Okuma Induron reel and a trip with North Star Guide service, at 42". Mike Bolinski (Pointerpride) tied with a later ijn the day 42", so he took second and an Okuma trolling reel. Kent Sorenson (all the way from the West!) took third with an anchored-up and sitting 41.5 sucker bite Muskie, his personal best Wisconsin fish for a Perka Heavy from Beav. Merckid took third with a 41, which was a DOUBLE with Mike's (Pointerpride's) fish for a Perka. I know he took another 41 yesterday, too. Rich Whiteside (all the way from the East!) took 6th with a 38" for a Perka. He and Gary ALWAYS catch fish at our outings. He also took home a Perka. John Heibler took a 38 later in the weekend, number 1 of a double. Good to see you sir! he also took home a Perka. Judy Achtor showed how it's done catching a 37.5 for 7th and a Perka. Gary Richard took a 37 for a Perka. I swear, those two could catch a fish in the Wal Mart parking lot... Shack Attack donated a ton of lures we distributed early to allow everyone to fish 'em for at least a day, which paid off with at least one fish for the event. Thanks, Andy! Okuma donated shirts, hats, visors, and two reels. Great prizes, and thanks to Okuma for the sponsorship. Zalt/Zam North America donated a BIG box of baits, which we got into the angler's hands in time to get 'em wet Sunday. Thanks to Zalt/Zam and Al for the bait donations!! Our perennial friend Todd Minor also donated some of his top producing lures; thanks Todd!! Tuffy Boats and Rhinelander Toyota sponsored the coverage, thanks to them both. Without the donations everyone's tackle box would be a bit lighter, THANKS to our sponsors. I had a blast, catching a couple fish and fishing water I have never been on. I'll be back to Van Vliet, for sure. Saw a couple nice fish, got a 'pin' on a sucker and got a 44.25 old fart male to eat a creature, too. California Muskie, that spinning rod whipped that fish in short order. Thanks again, sir. It was good to see everyone, and REALLY nice to have Skyview as our location again. Those folks know hospitality, and we can't thank Adam and Howie, the staff at Skyview, and the folks in Presque Isle enough for the hospitality. Here's the image gallery for the event. if you have images you would like me to add, just send them to me at [email protected]. Edit them down to 640X480 if at all possible. if not, I'll get that done for you. Thanks again to everyone attending!

Posts: 3240 Location: Racine, Wi | I definitely had a great time up there. Thanks for jumping in the boat Bob. Too bad you pulled a "John Gillespie" on that fish and she busted ya up. We had some great action, put some fish in the boat and came back almost in one piece. lol I wish I could have hooked up with the rest of you after fishing each night, but tough to do when you have a 3 week old at the house. Had a great time Thursday night though. Sorno, great fishing with you and Lambeau again. Good work on the fish, and Lambeau, I just looked back at your email with the forecast from earlier in the week, and it was WRONG. LOL It rained that day. ha ha.
