Went out last night with a buddy and caught my first 'ski. Went about 35in but felt like the loch ness. Wow, did we have fun! Must have seen 20 fish. Work is going to be tough today. Looks like I am into another expensive habit!!

Congrats on your first.

I'm still in the process of trying for my first. Living in Eastern Iowa makes it very hard to catch one....Uhhh, let's face it, living in Eastern Iowa makes it near impossible to catch the toothy critters. They seem to disappear during the summer(Must go way deep)????

But, I hired a guide this year for our annual trip to Vermilion. My guide is a huge TV Star now...Watched him on the Outdoor Channel...Hoping maybe my first will be that bruiser the Rapala guy caught.LOL

Any of the metro lakes turning on now? Been thinking of driving the wife up so we can visit her friend, and sneak out for a bit. Friends live on the southern suburbs. I used to live in Buffalo, and had Sugar close...Maybe to long of a drive for a weekend.

TMBeard,

You might want to consider hitting French Lake in Southern MN, I think I remember hearing somewhere the action has been pretty decent this spring... Also if you are in Eastern Iowa it might be worth looking into some options over near the Chicago area...

RU,

Thanks for the input.

I was considering the following Metro lakes: Waconia, Minnetonka(Although my 17' Crestliner may get run over by those big Fin barges..Especially on the weekend), or Indy. Didnt remember French had skis in it...Thanks.

Our friends live near Mystic Lake casino. Im sitting here, and I just realized...Its been 2 years since we moved back to Iowa and I have already forgotten the names of the suburbs....Wow

Anyway, maybe since they are there it would be worth the trek to Waconia? Or how far is French?

Thanks,

Travis

Correct,
I have been on Lobster a few times but never got them to hit it. I am already contemplating another rod and some more lures. Them 2x4's cost a bunch.

You really should have told me that I shouldn't go out last night again. I got another one that was a couple inches bigger. Its really over now. Have to go out again tonite. I can see alot of money being spent in the next couple weeks!!

So many lakes, so little time.

Maybe a extra long weekend trip, and Ill just "Lake Hop" while I'm up there.

Better call our friends and find out when they can house us for a weekend.

Travis,

I just started to get into muskie fishing so take this for what its worth. I've been told the best way out there is trolling large baits like reef hawgs.

Good luck,
Ben

Ben,

Are you in/near CR? Been thinking of going out there this weekend or at least in the very near future.

It would be nice to meet a fellow ski angler in this area.
