Almost time

1 week to go before my season starts, tourney at Clear Lake IA, then Pleasant Creek Iowa Trail tourney the following weekend, wedding for my fishing partner then our seasons in full swing. I'm ready and long over due.... When do the rest of you get out....

When is Minnesota's opener? I haven't even got the boat out of storage yet.

Any tatics or lures you have had luck with on opener Essox?

Mn opens June 7th??? I'm in Iowa always open season here except where I live...May 21 for my home waters...

I pretty much throw the same baits all year, dawgs, blades and wades with a few gliders thrown in once in awhile. My first 2 fish last year were on the first weekend of May on a 10" Weagle rocked hard and fast....

MN is June 4th. I know because I just got an invite for my friends daughter's first bday June 4th...

Could be worse Nick, our season always opens on May 21, guess who got married that day before becoming a muskie addict.... Wife must understand she's still here and I have and will be fishing....I do take her to a Twins game over Memorial weekend though to make up for it....

No need to worry, it's at the Henry Vilas Zoo on Lake Wingra (muskie water). I may take an extended bathroom break...

If I had to choose a weekend to stay off the water to go out with the wife, I'd shoot for a holiday weekend as well.

you should, the Madison chain is decent musky water! It'd be much nicer if they didn't have a bunch of drunk powerboaters all over the place on some of the lakes though. I tried to fish Waubesa a couple summers ago, it was a nightmare.

Ha. In college i lived only a few blocks away from Henry Vilas..... if i only knew then what i know now, i would have spent a lot more time on the water in Madison with a muskie pole in my hand, rather than hammered swimming after bar close.

Where is everyone heading for opener? I'm thinking Vermillion this year!!!
