Crawfish/Beaver dam confluence yields plentiful fish

One of the better fishing days this year came at the Crawfish and Beaver Dam Confluence Areas. The place was littered with bowfins but they always shook the hook off and I only manage to land 1 fish, but it was the biggest one. I also caught some Bass, bluegills, and a flathead.

Jaeger Mill on Fire for fish

Went to Danville Millpond for fishing and caught many fish, including both channel and flatheads. Was a very good day. The only thing I didn't catch were the really big monsters but the variety and number made up for it.

Monsters Caught on the Rock at night

Spent two days on the Rock at Fort Atkinson. The first day I got a few bites at night but nothing big but the 2nd night, I finally landed three very nice fish including a PB bowfin on a chunk of cut Bait.

Fishing for Monsters on the Wisconsin

Went out fishing for big fish the last few days on the Wisconsin and the low water levels are really effecting the Fish bite. Fish are most likely all holed up in the deeper holes at this time but did manage to catch 2 PBs. Nothing huge though.

Huge Bullheads(1lb+) Caught ins small creek

Fishing wasn't great today but I did manage to catch a PB. The creek I was fishing sometimes has good bass and catfish but today the only thing that was biting were the drum and bullheads. Water is pretty low and I may try it again later in the summer.

Big Fish Caught under Railroad Bridge

I have caught many catfish at various places but never have I ever caught a Madison Chain Catfish. That all changed today as I pulled in a 12.8lb Channel Catfish in the area between Cherokee Marsh and Lake Mendota. The biggest channel I've caught on Camera.

Big Channel Catfish Caught while night fishing at Decatur dam

Fishing at Decatur Dam's sugar river outlet, I noticed a lack of Suckers and Bass that are usually there. I got one of the small redhorses and a rock bass but nothing else. I guess Bass must be spawning and I'm not sure why the suckers were not there. However, after dark, I got a big bite by a Channel Gatofish(Catfish).

Fish of Greater Gatoness Caught!

Went Gatofishing at Johnson's Creek this week and had to wait until night for things to hit but boy did they hit! I finally got a 20lb+ Catfish, my first flathead of the year! Gonna go back sooner or later to catch another!

Walleye and Drum Fishing

I decided to take on my old Nemesis, the Wisconsin River this week. This river has never yielded me a fish before but that changed this time as it finally yielded me a plentiful harvest of Walleye and Freshwater Drum. I did not get the fish of legend I was looking for, but I got plenty of good fish.

Goose Lake is so Crappie Licious

I wanted to fish some Madison area ponds and lakes so I settled for Goose Lake on Saturday after the rains. Late spring is fully underway and the Crappies are shallow. Using a small jighead and a 1 inch gulp minnow, I was slaying them left and right.
