Posts: 188 Location: Chicago | Went out on Saturday and fished with Husky Jerk, met just before 7am fished until 5pm, HJ raised one later in the day. water temps hovered around 40. Saw 2 other boats all day. It was cold but tolerable, had to fish where the wind was least. The cajun Burger at the turtle was really good. Good to be out, fish seemed to have lockjaw. | ||

Posts: 305 Location: Illinois | fish seemed to have lockjaw. You said that when we were on the water too. What would Sig Hanson say to that ? Did you read the thread about having a positive attitude? Truth is, that "follow" was an eater. Too bad your recent negative comments put the bad mojo on me and my hookset looked like a Dorf video. As for the chain, water temps were back down to 40 as of Saturday.Still no weed growth to speak of. Should be a great bite in the FRV Tourney on the 21st as the water warms a little and the weeds start. Loons are out and about on the Chain which is always nice this time of year. | ||

Posts: 80 Location: Waukesha, WI | Fished The chain yesterday. Was surprised by the water clarity(tought the water was going to be clear). Drove into the state park around 7 and counted about 20 deer as i drove in and out. They have a very nice and clean launch, with a lot of parking. Anyway i fished from about 8:30 to about 2:30. found weeds on the North end od Channel (half dead) and a patch on the south end of Channel (green). on Cathrine There are a lot of weeds but most are half dead with some color. Throwing the 7in glider over the weeds turned up nothing for me. Mainly fished in the 6ft depth range but i believe the fish were deep. Mike Warren | ||

Location: Northern Illinois | FRVMUSKIE.COM is the website you should look at. I actually had the same questions and got really good answers from them. Turtle (something) is the HQ off of 173 and for 10 bucks unlimited coffee and donuts before the start. | ||

Posts: 12 | Just seeing how everyone did this weekend. Got out Saturday for 10hrs moved two fish on gliders--long day. One on Bluff and the other on Channel. Went out today and the muskie gods were a little kinder. Had four trail to the boat (one over 40) and caught two between 1:00 and 3:00. The first was about 34 inches and the other was under 30. Both fish where on a glide bait. Who is fishing the tourney next weekend--there seemed to be a lot of boats out today? | ||

Posts: 3240 Location: Racine, Wi | Got out as well today. Started out tough, but managed to raise 6 fish. Saw fish from the 34" class and one in the 45" range. Glide baits and jigs seemed to pique their interest. Water was cooooooold compared to what they were before the cold front. Temps ranged from 43-45 on Channel and Catherine. That's all we fished today. Lots of guys prefishing it looked like for next weeks tourney and the PMTT. Keep this good weather coming!!!! | ||

Posts: 12 | Got out today to do a little prefishing for the upcoming tourneys. Wouldn't you know it--my biggest fish of the year, a fat low 40 inch female. A couple quick pics and a clean release. Man I wish I would have caught her tomorrow or next weekend. How has everyone else been doing? | ||
