Location: Monee, Illinois | Well with 50's and Rain on Thursday North Webster area should be open. Tippy is open right now. I am on the fence do I go and fish for the weekend or go to the musky show in Chicago. Fish for musky or buy lures to fish for musky......Tuff choice what would you guys and gals do......Show was great last year but getting a musky in the boat in January is also outstanding. Anyone else thinking of going this weekend?

| Bob,
The weather looks good, so one day fishing and one day at the musky show based on the speaker you want to see. First pick on Friday, but I have to be in Chicago for work. The first time ever I won't be there Friday grabbing the best custom lures before anyone else gets there

Location: oswego, il | I was on the fence once down in carbondale, ripped the arse out of my pants.
Fishing sounds good you can always goto milwaukee but fun will be had this weekend too. A tossup but it might get cold again before spring comes. |

Location: Monee, Illinois | Yes to both......but if you are a ballroom pass holder they will give you the combo to the lock...plus talked to a buddy who lives on Tippy and he thinks by this weekend you should be able to get out threw grassy creek or at Pie-eyed petes might have to break some ice that will not be very thick. If you had a season pass for the ballroom you can get the combo to the ball room

Location: Pittsburgh, PA | I am thinking of heading out this weekend, but don't really know where to start looking for fish. What do they relate to this time of year? Open water bait fish? That would be my guess. Any help?

Location: Palm Coast, FL | Webster still has ice on over 80% of it. Tippy is totally open. If you were to go out I would stick to jigging in 20-40ft. of water right on bottom. I would pay attention to your fish finder and look for fish to be concentrated from bottom to 8 ft. off the bottom and stick in that area. |
