| Wasn't planning on it, big boat is now in storage but was at Northern Edge Marine yesterday and got looking at a replica they have on the wall of Tom Gelb's 50lb, 'last day musky' and am now thinking about putting my jon boat in the water and row trolling for a couple hours. If I can figure out some temp rod holders might do that. |

Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | I'll be on LVD this weekend, saturday looks like a decent enough day up in Land O Lakes.
I haven't been up to my place since the first weekend in October, any ideas on water temps? We gotta be hitting the mid-30s up there soon enough. |

Location: SW Ohio | Got out on our local lake yesterday. Level at winterpool (-3'), temp 53 degs. Very windy and air between 38-48 degs. Coves are loaded with bait. Missed one using an AC Shiner 00 as a jerkbail. Hit on the rise...too much slack.
I read Matt Gunkel's article in the MH online site about them being very shallow around weeds on Kincaid. Gave that a try although our lake is devoid of any weeds. Targeted fall downs and shallow wood but nada.

| Spent a couple hours row trolling on the lake where I live, after spending almost ten minutes breaking the ice near shore to get my jon boat out to open water. Thicker than I expected. Need to work on a better rod holder system for next year, but really enjoyed the time on the water. Got in a rhythm and it felt good. But today, the lake was completely skimmed over when I got up. |

I'm still finding it difficult to complain...m |

Location: NW WI | Went Yesterday on Yellow Lake. Nothing but follows from small pike, Had small Northern Suckers hanging farther back than the Musky Sucker. Normally they get pounded like a chain smoker going through cigarettes. But nothing. |

| Was emptying out the boat yesterday morning, prepping for winterizing. Weather was so nice and calm, decided to go to a neighborhood lake for a couple hours, after getting everything put a way. Took one rod and bait. Stuck a very plump 3 footer, to end the season. Boat is empty and ready for winterizing. Raging wind and dropping temps this morning. Glad I snuck in one last stint on the water.

| Was up in minoqua area. Lil Arb skimmed over this morning. The big lakes I was on dropped under 40. Last hurrah for me. Best of luck to anyone still going out. |

| Heading out tomorrow. Should be able to cast and drag a sucker. Temps look marginal for being over 32 degrees after Thanksgiving. Just want a shot at (1) more.
