Cliff, I am just happy to get an honorable mention from Mike :)

No one needs 5 fish. Personally I think that the limit in the lake should be 2, and every trib should be no kill for certain parts of the season. But that's just me.

Very cool!!!! Need any reports from some Lake E tribs?

Really like the Compre, makes tossing those big baits so much easier. I also had a 6'9 Compre XH jerkbait rod and found that I could do everything with the 8'. Really nice for figure 8's, you can really vary the depth with a long stick like that.(Not like I even got a wiff of a muskie on my setup, I caught my only muskie this year fishing for bass ) You are more them welcome to give it a shot for a few days, maybe even on some pike up at the camp? :)

Mike, I am far from a muskie guy, but I tossed a lot of big baits(10" weighted Suicks, DC10's, etc) for those fish this summer with a Record 60 and a 8' Shimano Compre.. Loved the reel, not a single problem with it.

Big, stinky nasty bags of death. Nothing even comes close!!!!!!!

I was out on Little Lake last year with them netting 'skis for a day. No muskies, but man does Little Lake have some monster crappies!!!!!! Was a bit cold, but definitely a fun day.

From what I've heard most CO positions are filled with ex coppers or OPP Tough position to get into.

Mike, that's a wicked video man. What do you think those fish rising on the Elk were doing? Seemed to be quite a few of them breaking the surface... I'm getting the itch again, lol

Printing out a few google map pages beforehand would have helped you tremendously... Nice report!

Cabin fever setting in already?

A little solder, some shrink tubing and you'll be all set.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family and your little girl..

I really hope there were some women on shore while you two guys were buck nakked swimming in the lake together

If I did that, I'd probably be getting piss drunk to.

It's only line. Put the lure infront of a hungry fish and you could be using rope and it wouldn't make much of a difference.. Visibility under the water isn't really a concern, I worry more about knot strength and the ability to get out giant birds nests :)

Those glasses are awesome!! Great report, even though it didn't contain any fish

How about you try out his service, then recommend him...

It's going to be coiled until you actually start casting with it. Why worry about it now? It's the dead of winter...

Mike, that was hands down the best 2 days of fishing I've ever had. The 'bags of death' worked so well. I still can't get the smell off my hands!!! (I have all the roe on the counter right now drying out ) I am glad the winds died down a bit at the mouth on the first day, those chromers were an absolute blast! I cannot wait until the spring bud! The new/old rod is awesome even with the funky reel seat, lol. I'm sure we'll have many more just like it.. I hope you enjoy NF!

I am sure you are worse off then me, I shouldn't be complaining, lol. It was great to meet you man, I had an awesome time fishing with you today. The fishing got hot every 30 mins or so, pretty much what it was like the entire day. I wish I got a pic of you talking on the phone and setting the hook..

Sinker, I think thats a little zipcord Mike has on his vest.

I could login without to many issues about 3 weeks ago. Now my account is inactive.. It needs some new forum software me thinks.

Dude, I'm so tired............

Woke up to flashing clocks this morning
