and I'll be out on the water with my brother Travis pounding the waters for the first muskie of the year. After fishing the opener in Vilas county this past weekend for walleyes, we have a challenge for the upcoming muskie season. You see, most of the lakes have just gotten rid of their ice and water temps ranged from 38˙F to 40˙ F. Most of the walleyes we had caught were egg laden females that hadn't start spawning yet.

Soul Fishing.

My brother and I had talked about this. I've talked with other people that are household names in the industry, and they've also expressed this thought. It's fishing for the soul and nothing else. It's about being on the water and making it therapy for the body. No added pressure to put fish in the boat or catching a 50". It's not about the number of fish caught for the year, or keeping count of all fish over 50".

Now days it seems that many people want to be the rock stars in the fishing indus… Continue

Never knew you were such a deep thinking person, some good thoughts there! Hope you and Travis have a safe and fun year on the water and hope things are well with your wife.

Looks like I will be at the woods July 3-19 (if I still have a job)

Did I hear you were going up with Norm, Saint and that crew?

Have a good one!
