Agony!

[Shoot2Kill]

How many of you are currently sitting in pure AGONY at work wishing you were out chasing teeth? Here is my routine for about the past week or so with the fall bite in full swing....check my PTO balance, look at work/home/life schedule to coordinate with the weather/majors/moon phase, blah blah blah, can I call in sick that day?, take a full day off, or just a half, fish at night?, mornings, do I duck hunt Sat or go fishing, do I even deer hunt this year, AAAAGH!!!!

I am going crazy... muskies are officially a sickness. I used to be a huge bowhunter...since I caught my first muskie this summer I have not even shot my bow once. To make matters worse I got a call this AM from a fellow FMer who has had amazing success recently on a certain lake and he was on his way up and he asked if I wanted to go....and I COULDN'T because of work. Now I'm just sitting here waiting for his text that they put another 50"er in the boat. So to the certain FMer I'm referring to...when you read this please stop laughing.

Anyone else in the same situation right now?

Thanks...that was good therapy.

With a fish like that in your avatar, I know why you have the sickness!!

I wish I was out yesterday, but had to work... We are supposed to have a pretty nice November so I am going to try and get out as many times as I can.

DO YOU LIVE TO WORK OR DO YOU WORK TO LIVE!

some of us are just has bad

we go to all the major muskie shows in the winter,Chicago,Milwaukee,Minn and looks like maybe the new NY one,,,because,,,,we would rather TALK about muskies then go out ice fishing for something else.

also when your most expensive suit of clothes isnt for social or biz but its your Rain suit.

heres the worst,,"true story" a couple years ago one of my long time musky buds told me "Were having a kid this spring",,, it just slipped but I said "Oh Im sorry" knowing he would have less fishing time,,,The bad thing is He knew exactly what I meant.

At least in the winter you physically can't get the boat in the lake so the urge won't be quite as strong as it is now with my boat sitting 18 miles from a muskie lake with open water.

I think I'm going tonight...I can't take it.

You better believe I'm with ya. I'm at work while my bro has my boat on the lake!!! Part of the reason is cause he's recovering my combo he thew in the lake (LOL), but watching my boat being hauled away by someone else was gut wrenching.

Even when crazy things like that don't happen I wish I was on the water. Especially after last sunday's wild action in which two fish were landed, two lost, and 3 follows in about an hour.

Been a tough year with little time and a tight budget; I'm ready for a day or two soon.
