Ben Brettingen and I are loaded up and headed for Milwaukee. The plan is to be at the landing by 3:30 AM tomorrow. If we have internet access out on the lake we’ll share some updates from the water. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday night. Safe travels to all…
Within 5 miles of shore, you should have service. Hope you pull the lucky first timer horseshoe and land on fish right out of the gate.
Lookin forward to west winds,alk about luck!
We should be pulling in noon or a little after.
Were hoping to get in some fishing as well.
James: sending you a PM.
good luck and safe travels all and we’ll c-ya when we c-ya 
Good luck to all!! Make sure to post some fish for us all:)

We most certainly will try. Hopefully the fish do their part and go easy on us.
We hit the lake out of McKinley at 4am. Beautiful start to the day. We headed straight east to 70′ and started there. We had one steelhead on 4 colors that took Ben for quite the ride before shaking loose, one drive by on 5 color lead and another on dips fly.

James was on the board first with a steelie on 7 colors and a green spoon and before he could get it in, we got ripped on a 4 color with an orange/silver spoon. Ended up with a chunky little brown! Shaping up to be a fun day!

What’s the air temp out there on the water this morning? Raining the Madison area with lots more on the way.
Right now the air temp is 63 and the surface temp is 61.3 over 70 fow.
You’re killin’ me! Stuck in a class room training mechanics!
IDO Slammin’ Brown GTG..5 colors 70 fow. As the wind picked up we started moving up into 60 fow and are starting to find water temps around 52 degrees vs 63 only a couple hours earlier. Over 10 degree water temp drop….

Gotta love it, real-time fishing reports! Almost feeling like I’m out there with you already.

Nice brown. I will be launching out of south shore around 2:00 if the weather cooperates.
Nice Browns. Stuck at work and can’t wait to hit the water tonight! Keep the pics coming!
Nice Going guys,
Wish I was there. Looking forward to pics and stories from yall.

Awesome! I REALLY wish I could have made it out there with you guys. I sure hope you manage to hook into a few “boat anchors” where the drag just starts screaming!
Now that’s what I’m talkin about! James smacked a king! Then we were greeted with a colossal CF with the dipsy rod, and man alive do those flashers know how to cause a mess. Now we are rolling 6 lead core strong. We’ll see how she goes! Same spoon as the brown.

Awesome, thanks for getting out there and doing all the dirty work for the group though you’re making me feel like a sloth. I’m feeling like all I’ll be doing tomorrow is stealing fish others worked for… brownies in exchange for a dream vacation. Man am I getting a deal! I’ll be easy to identify in the dark tomorrow morning, I’ll be the guy wearing the perpetual smile.

Thanks for the real time reports guys! Like Art said, you’re killing me as I am stuck on the office til early afternoon.
Glad you are on fish! Keep it up!

No wind no fish…..we are headed for deeper waters!

Futurecast radar is showing a growing thunderstorm heading your way. If it doesn’t dissipate it’ll get to you between 1-2 this afternoon.
Thanks for the heads up, wouldn’t want to get stuck! I guess not that deep of waters then!
Go to the Flemish Cap! You can make it!
Check yer radar first tho.

Tried it…got a bit chilly.
The T storm fell apart and isn’t looking like much more than a sprinkle anymore. What’s left of it should almost be on top of you by 2.
31 minutes and I’m off to Milwaukee.
