Not too bad, the year started slow in June and July with some real nasty weather.
Got better in August and easry September. Fall trolling was very good. Ended up with 141 fish (down some thanks to July), with eight fish from 50" to 53".

How was yours?

Two announcements! #1. I am planning quote," Hot Blooded Muskie Caravan Tour" in 2010 during warm water bite in N. Central WI! Or name will be similar
like, "Capt.'s C.Z. Muskie Caravan Tour." Details aren't fully worked out yet.
Also, I have a video called, "Big, Big, Northern Pike!" that I can put on Muskylink.com It is the Pike though...(nice close-ups, etc., lots of detail!)

Sincerely,
C. Zielke, The Muskie Lure Guy...

At 8:00am on November 11, 2009, Zielke Experience said…: Brandyn Shep,
Love looking at cool photos of your site...Yes! today we're giving it a try with...
slightly larger Suckers...Pewaukee has been very good all year for me...Fish are all
over the place, 9.5 last month to now even 4.5! Who ever catches my C. Wilson
Muskie out there should get an award...It is a fairly new fish that really likes it's
spot as feed is so good by it! Before I, we head out today, I'll try to get Fender Strat photos on my site. There are other guys on this site that jam like me...

The Zielke Experience,
Still have to get bigger amp...(Charge card to the rescuse)
I'm probably loud anough already!

At 8:19am on October 30, 2009, Musky "D" said…: I tried that over and over again and it wouldn't go through. So had to make new page. If you can help me get back to page would be nice. Diana

At 8:44am on October 26, 2009, Zielke Experience said…: Brandyn,
Yes! Opossum is the ugliest thing that I ever filmed...And I have been everywhere.
And yes! In a very strange way I was inspired by it...My secret M.R.C. Lures are
featured in a huge fishing lure book to be released this yr. I have even had small
snot rocket Pike chase the secret M.R.C. Lures in Vilas Co. But, Muskies will come in c-l-o-s-e to get better look of M.R.C. And most of the time, I have got
the fish by doing a figure 8! M.R.C. Lures are made out of Cedar from Upper Michigan. But, I use a variety of woods in lure construction depending on what I'm going after...

M.R.C. Lure are all collector items...If I do a lure show, I'll have some out for display...

The Zielke Experience,
#1. in Muskie lures,

HAHAHA Darcy, those are just goals. May as well set expectations high! 40 pounders are a reality and we nearly hit 50 last year. If any place can do it, it's Georgian Bay. JD
