Fishing at Big Green Lake

I went to the Church Retreat last week at Big Green Lake. I spent the free time fishing the lake near the conference center and caught several yellow perch and then a big channel catfish and several Bullhead at night.

Bowfin mania on the Bark River

I went to Fort Atkinson to try to catch a flathead but the river was really full of Bowfins. I did manage to catch several small Bowfin and a really big one plus a channel catfish later on in the night.

Catfish and White Bass on the Fox

Went to the Fox River in Pardeeville. I keep on hearing people say there are flatheads in Park Lake and Spring Lake but I have never caught one. Fished the other shore of Park Lake and caught some channels and some white bass.

Smallmouth on Fire on the Wisconsin

I went to the Old Summer oaks boat ramp in order to catch catfish but only came up with smallmouth bass. Wasn't a bad day as I got several but still looking for that Big Flathead Catfish.

Bass Hunting on the Madison Chain

I went to Babcock first to fish for whatever was under the dam with Big Fatheads and only got a smallmouth there and then went to the Monona Wall and night and finally got some good largemouth.

Stacked Bass Pond

I went to Waunakee because I have been saying that I would do that for a while now to catch some bass. Did not go to the Big Pond that everyone goes to but went to a smaller neighborhood pond. Caught a dozen bass but none were that big.

Fishing for whatever bites on the lower Wisconsin

I went down to the lower Wisconsin between Sauk City and Prairie Du Sac and fished off Riverfront Park. The water was still very high and the bugs were biting pretty hard. Despite that, I did managed to get a few fish.

Canoe Fishing on Devil's Lake

Switched it up a bit and went Canoe fishing on Devil's lake with Fathead minnows under a bobber. The lake is stocked with tens of thousands of trout every year from the DNR and they are usually hungry. Due to the hot weather, they were biting quite as good as usual but we still managed to catch five or 6 fish.

Epic Channel Catfish Fight in Lake Mendota

Went to Warner Park Boat Launch to fish with bass with Minnows but I ended up hooking a big Catfish with my smaller rod. The drag was screaming and I didn't know if I could get it in.

Caught my PB Bass

I decided to go shore fishing on Lake Monona but there was a water show going on so I retreated to machinery row. Throw some worms under a bobber and caught my PB bass. I finally got a Monona Carp at night as well.
