Don't forget the North Dakota/Minnesota border waters have a ''continuous'' season on muskies.

Well, that's a wrap. Nothing great to report unfortunately. Tonka opened back up today, bays covered in ice, but the main lake was wide open. I was the last boat off the lake, about 6pm tonight. Casted until our hands were numb, trolled the remaining time. Not even a follow today, not so fun ending on the worst day of the year for me. Great to be out as always, but I really thought the fish would be going with the weather change. I've had a pretty consistent pattern that I thought would really turn on and it was a total bust. Didn't even find bait hardly at all.

I'm gonna try and forget about everything to do with muskies for a while, it's been a hard fought battle till the end. Here's to what next year can bring, till then, tight lines.

LOL.

I wondered if someone would pick up on my attempt at humor!

Drove by 'Tonka last night after work, Wayzata was still open. Shoot, wish I could fish it...

My muskie cure is done until June. Caught a 29" walleye last night to keep me happy. I got to be honest I don't remember walleyes EVER fighting this hard. Catching big walleyes through the ice is a blast and it is actually a lot harder getting them up the hole than I ever remember as well. This fish was fat as can be as well. Let her go to fight another day. It's kind've nice to be the only one on the lake again. That never happens when muskie fishing, but we all live with it.

Ha Ha thats funny!!! I caught a 26 inch walleye and a 28 inch walleye the last 2 days and I was thinking, THIS SUCKS!!!! I would rather catch a 28 inch muskie. 6 months and 2 days until opener I believe.
