I don't know about you guys, but I am ready for the musky opener. We have a long ways to go. It has been a long winter.

Im actually not counting down to the season opener... but more of counting down to when it'll be 60 degrees or warmer and the snow's all melted away then that means I can work on my boat... and sooner I finish the boat, sooner my season opener will come...

Musky18 Thanks for cheer me up..... that's minutes r unreal....make me more sad and curse on this dang winter..

That's the nice thing about livig so close to SD their season never closes so as soon as the ice goes off I can go. So right around the middle of April is usually my start date.

Is there any muskie in Sd

[mroyten]

Isn't there an extended season this year in Wisconsin? With the season opening much soon but only barbless? Thought I read that somewhere...

Other than that, I've lining up baits I plan on throwing on opener.

[whitewolf6647]

Actually yes there is there are only about 4-5 lakes in the entire state that have them stocked and it just so happens two of them are pretty close to drive to spend a few hours and drive home.

[SHAQ]

sweet, Is there like any naturall muskie lakes, or any that no one knows about? Just a yes or no question not a When, where, how & why. Any way is there like no closed season there for walleye and pike to? If so thats freakin Aweasome!!!

[SHAQ]

Dude im fishing muskie in Wisconsin this summer for sure, Im pretty sure im going like 95 percent muskie this summer instead of only 65 percent, Ya know. I dont even really got the ice fishing hard on this winter i just wanted hit the open water for some early season muskie scouting.

Jeff looks like you will just have to take a "business" trip to madison in early May.

[mtreno]

going to do the ky thing again this spring - 10 days ending with a pmtt win is what i have in mind right now.

sd has some stocked lakes that are fairly underfished - been to one three times no with poor reports. did release a smally that would have pushed sd state records...... thinking a fall pheasent/musky trip may trip things in my favor out there this year.

[whitewolf6647]

Natural no, they are all stocked and yes everything remains open year round. The only exceptions are for paddlefish and fishing in some streams and rivers, but then it's only closed from March 1st till May 31st. I believe there's a few other exceptions but you'll have to go the the SD game fish and parks page and look for yourself to get all the info on it.
