Location: Rhinelander
The NWT field is on the water under SW winds 7 to 14, temps in the 70's to 80's later today, with no storms forecast until late tonight.
The bite has been what can be described as really good, really tough, or in-between depending on who one speaks with. Someone will get into the big girls, that's certain.
The weigh in starts at 3. Watch for a complete report, images, and big fish video later this evening.

Gary Parsons weighed in early and leads with 37.85 fishing a newly introduced (at ICAST last week) large Berkley Flicker Minnow. Dave Van Oss is ounces back with 37.61.
Dan Stier is in third with 34.55, in fourth is Jim Carroll with 34.07, and Mark Courts rounds out the top 5 with 33.84. Keith Kavajecz is in 6th, also fishing the new larger Flicker Minnow.
Reports from the stage seemed to indicate the Bite up North stalled for some of the field. In fact many reported a tough morning bite North, turning around and catching their fish closer late in the day. The strong SW winds seemed to scramble up the bite some, but the Bay of Green Bay kicked out some impressive limits of big fish as usual.
A front is rolling through tonight, bringing possible storms and NW winds at 6 to 9 for tomorrow, shifting late to SW according to accuweather.com. It's going to be warm, starting the day in the 60's and weighing in in the mid to upper 80's. If the forecast holds, the ride in won't be as tough tomorrow as it was today.
