| Temps have been in the 40's here in SE Wisconsin and we have little, if any, ice on our musky lakes in the area. I had an appointment today at a house located on one of these lakes today, and that water sure looked enticing.
I wish they didn't close the season before ice up. It's all catch and release for most musky fishermen. Frustrating. I would like to go fishing. Kevin Muskies are neato. |

| Kevin, I had no idea there were season dates for them in some places. Just thought it was size restriction. As you can tell, I am not one that has ever had the opportunity to learn to fish for them. I did get to taste one once, & to my surprise, it tasted just like bass to me. Thought from that moment on, will never eat another. Bass are much more abundant & easier to clean. Still would like to learn the end's and out's of fishing for them someday though. They are purdy neat looking fish! : ) |

| I received an offer to head down to Indiana for a day of winter musky fishing on Jan. 6. I hope the wife says okay and the lakes don't freeze up down there in the next week. Indiana doesn't have a closed season. Kevin Winter muskies sure would be nice. |

| Man, ANY kind of open water fishing at this time of year would be GREAT!! I'd settle for panfishing with earthworms!! |

| High 40s and sunny here on New Year's Day here in WI. Now I find out I can't go to Indiana on 1/6 becuase of a family birthday party and they're catching muskies down there like crazy. Still frustrated. Kevin I need muskies. |

| Hey Kevin-- I'd imagine you should be able to get out on the ice by now!! (maybe that's why you haven't posted recently? LOL) |

| hey Bill--I guess I could get out on the ice, but have never done any ice fishing. Last season was my first as a serious fisherman after 30+ years playing golf. We really just iced up nicely here 2+ weeks ago. Some of my musky fishing friends have been doing really well. I could have hit the ice with them last Saturday but my wife had the audacity to have her birthday. LOL. They have a couple of pike fish fries to look forward to.
I hope your catching a few through the ice. Kevin I like Muskies. |

| Not me. Around these parts, ice fishing is just an excuse to fill up on "antifreeze", and I don't drink. :-) So, honestly, I've never been ice fishing in my life, even though I've been "regular" fishing since I was 4. :-) That pike on the right looks like it's a good size!! |

| Ha. Sounds like the ice fishing by you is pretty similar to ours. I've probably had a little too much anit-freeze over the course of my life. I'm managed to keep it out of my musky fishing pretty well. I leave that for the younger folks. |
