Good stuff Jamie, I was waiting to hear how you made out. You said you wanted that new PB, and then you went out and got it, and that's as good as it gets !! Fishing open water in January, wearing only a sweater.......Priceless !!

And make sure your boat insurance is in place, as alot of policies don't cover you on the water thru the winter months and it could cost you some serious $$$$ if there's an incident.

I was a member of MCI for a year but left for personal reasons. Now I'm a charter member of my very own Retired Firemens Musky Fish'n Club. .....cept I'm the only member

That's good to hear Harry, and please keep us updated. I think alot of times we put off important operations because of fear, and it is so often unfounded......I know I did.

It's a week I look forward to all winter and I'll be going at least twice again this year, June & September

Actually, Tightlines has been selling musky gear for a long time and I buy 1/2 my stuff there. He's got a decent selection, and his customer service is as good as it gets anywhere. Great guys to deal with !!

Go get em Jamie !!

Yup, I was looking for it too Richard.

Have a great trip Roger and don't forget the camera.

Best of luck to you PH. I've known quite a few folks who've had the same operation and every one came out with great results.

I haven't confirmed my campsite yet Roger, but I'll definetly be there as always.

Good to see you and your Pop enjoying this weather Corey, and getting a bunch of decent fish to boot.

jeez, if everybody keeps goin in my tackle box, I'LL soon be lookin for a spot to buy Suicks

Thanks Steelcat, sounds like a great way to spend a day !!

Wow, Uncle B, that's some place your Grandparents have !!!!!!! Good to have you home Uncle B.

Very very nice !!

I'm afraid that won't be on any order forms for awhile yet Brian

This is only my 2nd time dealing with Cabelas, but they certainly make it easy to deal with them.

Rick, is Nip gonna be a seperate card by itself, or will it be included on the Eastern Great Lakes chip and did you get a price on it ??

I phoned Cabelas this past Friday and ordered a GPS / Sonar combo and was told it would arrive in 7 business days, so figuring the weekend and then the New Years holidays, I wasn't expecting it till sometime early next week, but darned if it didn't arrive this morning. Kinda nice when you receive even better service than your expecting Only problem is my boat is hibernating in a barn 100 miles from here and I won't get a chance to install and use my new toy for another 4 months

Toronto set a new January 1st temperature record yesterday of 9.2 C Crazy stuff !!

The large mariboo's are incredible musky lures that catch alot of fish and if tied correctly, can also take alot of punishment before needing to be retired. I've been using them for a few years now and have always got at least one rod rigged up with a boo and ready to go at all times. I always buy mine rather than make them so I can't help you, but musky-man, brick n block & Robin from this board all make excellent musky boo baits and could probably tell you where to purchase the material......perhaps luremaking.com ?? The ones I find best are about the size of a cantalope when dry. Not sure how familiar you are with these baits, but they are incredibly bouyant so you'll need to experiment abit with the weights to get them to work properly. I've got a couple that are totally weightless, and once they get saturated, they run just under the surface and are excellent baits for bulging over top of the high cabbage, specially with twin blades. I find they work best when run a couple feet above the weed tops or rocks, so, depending on the height of the weeds, it's nice to have a variety of weights. I even clip bell weights onto some to get them down deeper when neccesary. I've also always found yellow with brass blades to be the best producer but that's just a personal opinion. I've probably got at least twice as many now since this picture was taken and will be requiring a much large box next season. Good luck with them and I'd luv to see the photos of your finished project.

Actually nelly, he only has to outrun the gazelle beside him

Good to see your able to get on the water and try out your new toys Terry. It feels more like April than January lately.

Great stuff MB, and thanks !!
