Big Fish Caught in Steamy Lake

As the weather gets really cold in Wisconsin, we have to look for unfrozen patches of water to fish. So we come to the only heated lake in Wisconsin(at least it will be there until 2024), lake Columbia. This lake has lots of dinky little channels but also a few really big flatties which is what I was after. I finally caught one at night. It wasn't huge, but it was satisfying.

Fish still hiding in the Meramec River

I spent two days fishing the Lower Meramec area and it was still active with fish. Only the drum were really biting but its snagging season in Missouri so I caught a decent buffalo and a gar as well.

Thanksgiving fishing on the Missouri

Went fishing the last few days of the Holiday for Thanksgiving on the Mighty Missouri. It wasn't so mighty since the water is very low. I did get a decent blue Catfish but not much else except dinks and eaters. The 60lb fish still eludes my grasp......

Fishing action still hot on the Sugar at Albany

Went to Albany for two days and while it wasn't the greatest two days of fishing, it was still a blast to fish. I lost a lot of fish that I had hooked though. In the end, I pulled up 2 pike and a bunch of suckers, including my PB Silver Redhorse Sucker.

Big Fish still at Tenney park

Spent two days about 2-3 weeks apart fishing at Tenney park Lagoon and it was pretty good. I was after walleye but didn't catch any. They were in the breakwater but I could not get any to hit my lures. However, the gatofish were still there and I got 2 good ones.

Bassin' and Catfishin' decatur dam in November

In the last few warm days of the year, I headed over to Decatur dam to bass and catfish. Only caught 1 catfish but it was a decent one. Several suckers were also caught but I still have not caught a Fish of Death there yet.

Big Fish of Death season begins with a Bang on the Sugar River

The cold weather has arrived. This means that its time that I stopped fishing for Catfish and started going after the Big Fishes of Death(Northern Pike). I don't fish for the pike family in the Summer Months but once the water gets too cold for Catfish, piking begins in earnest. Got 2 pike on this little adventure which is not a bad start and looking to get more.

Huge Musky Caught!

Went fishing with Kyle today and while I only caught a carp at the first location and then we caught a rock bass and a few walleye at another location, it was the third location that really paid off. Kyle caught a 50 inch Muskie and that was a huge wrap for a night!!

Big Fish caught at Dunkirk

I went to Dunkirk for 2 days and fished above the dam. The action before dark left much to be wanting but after dark, I got lots of action. Caught 5 catfish in all, the smallest being 7lbs and the largest being 14lbs.

Fishing Warner Park

I decided to have another go in Madison Fishing today at Warner park, fishing from the breakwater wall. Only bought worms for bait but I still managed to catch a nice catfish and a few walleyes casting as well.
