I can't take it anymore!!!!!

[minnesotamusky]

Sitting around waiting for the muskie opener is driving me crazy. June seems so far away. I've had all my fishing gear ready since January. It doen't help when I watch these guys on tv catching muskies. Maybe we should all make a road trip down to Kentucky!!!!

I hear ya Lonewolf, it's been a long long winter and to top it off I wasn't ready to be done last season so the bug has just been festering since last Nov. My buddies and I are going to try and hit some Iowa waters in April. One thing I don't do is get my gear cleaned and setup and ready to go until the end of April early May, it can help tame the beast. Funny thing is you'd think the shows make it easier, but I find they make it tougher, new gear, updated knowledge from the seminars and you can't even put it all to good use for months.

Hang in there guys, maybe we should start a support group.

ME: Hi, I'm RU and the off season is killing me.

Group: Hi, RU

and so on...

I've got the itch as well. I can't look in my storage room, the sight of the gear sitting in there gives me the shakes!

I've noticed a drop off in posts recently.....I think more of us are at the "Shut up and fish!" point each and every day! I get frustrated with nothing new to read!

RU: Be strong man, you can do it!

We will see how this weekend's show treats us, might make things even more unbearable!

Hi -

my name is mtreno and i am a muskie-aholic

the cold sweats have come back bad and no fishing is satisfing my urges. i feel a total musky breakdown is in the near future.... i hope the expo can buy me a few more days but will most likely make things worse....

[MuskyBrian]

I've had enough myself, therefore in 2 weeks I am heading down to Lake Webster, Indiana . WHat makes this worse is I bought a boat at the end of the year so i am dying to try that out too

[TBone1]

I went to the local indoor pool and made a few casts, now I'm banned from all community park and rec. facilities. It would have ok but I hit a kid in the back of the head with a weagle.

[MuskyBrian]

LOL, maybe he deserved it

[Huskers_05]

You should have good luck on webster DNR did a study last year and said there was 6 muskie per acre.

[Random guy]

I know where you guys are coming from. My office, home and garage is covered in Musky decor, it's driving me mad! I even caught myself staring at my Musky mouse pad picturing that monster slamming the bulldawg! Yes it is a sickness.

I'm jealous! I need one of those! I already clearly identify myself as the office "redneck" with the Ducks Unlimited" mouse pad, wrist pad, and coaster set with the three labs posing! The muskie pad will really set me apart!

What really gets em going is the 50" replica on the wall eating the competitions logo.

[mtreno]

not sure if i am going to make it..... had all my maps out last night. it is amazing how i

guy can fish a lake his who life and still find new areas he wants to try (mille lacs). that

and i got my Big V. map all marked up with notes from our trips last year. checked on all

my hooks but they are still sharp from the sharpening i did last week. think my doctor

could just induce a coma for the next 88 days..... man is it really 88 days away - wow -

maybe i better get some maps for some lake in SD and IL to keep me from insanity
