Southern Wisconsin Opener
Well last weekend was the Southern Wisconsin Musky Season Opener so we travelled up to our normal opening spot. Normally we do pretty well and this weekend was no exception. We had four boats hitting the water (8 guys) and well the weather was far from good. At least far from fishing good. Cloudless skies with 70 degree temps and very little wind. My fishing partner and I ended up catching 4 Musky. Largest being 39 inches. We lost 4 others and saw a couple that easily would have measured about 45 inches. High skies and no wind are tough fishing conditions for Musky, and nobody else in the group caught any. Many were sighted and many were hooked but none caught by the other boats.
OK, now I have to get back into the metal. Need a good tune to learn and....my new amp should show up this week. Woo Hoo.

Hmm, I lived in Wisconsin once. Actually four years in the Paper Valley - and yet, had never heard of the Musky . . .
If I hadn't researched it myself I would have thought it to be like the elusive Snipe here in the NW.
Woodchuck took the girls hunting for the Western Coastal Snipe several years ago . . . he is now talking of taking the girls to Wyoming for Jack-A-Lope season.
gotta love the Western coastal Snipe...tricky little devil... hard to get into the bag.
Watch out for those Jack-A-Lopes, I hear they like to pack and are ferocious.
While in college visting a friends grandmother's farm with two other buddies, we went Snipe hunting. We sent my buddy Mark out into the woods to flush them out and we told him we would bag them. So off goes Mark and we headed back to the farm and started drinking. Mark came back in about two hourse later saying he didn't see any snipe. We asked if he was using the right Snipe call, which we demonstrated and took him back out to the woods. Just as we were about to set him loose again he said, "you guys are fucking with me aren't you?", well we couldn't keep from laughing and that ended the Snipe hunt. We did manage to capture several beers that night and I do recall a rather bothersome headache the next morning.
