Catfishing(and catching) on the Crawfish River

I went to the Crawfish river at the confluence with the Beaver Dam river this week. This fishing was slower than usual. Nothing really hit during the day but after it got cooler and darker, I managed to get 3 catfish and a few carp. The bass and bowfin did not seem to be there this time around.

Fishing Pheasant Branch Creek

So, because I've wanted to make a pheasant branch creek video for a while now so I finally went towards the mouth of the creek at the first bridge and BOOM, I got a big catfish and a few drums. The bank improvements really kind of destroyed the area though.

Catfish Confirmed at Rome Dam

I went to a new spillway at Rome, Wisconsin to see if catfish make it all the way up to there at the Bark. Although there were no catfish above the dam, I did manage to catch a catfish below the dam after dark. The small minnows in the water made excellent bait.

Big Fish day at Lake Wisconsin

I decided to try to get myself a big Buffalo Carp today at Lake Wisconsin again. It turned out to be by far the best day I've had on the Lake even though it was super hot. Caught nearly 100 pounds of fish before I decided to call it a day and was a great workout

Monster fish caught at Monster Dam!

It finally happened!!! I ran out of places to go so I headed to the Dam as Wisconsin Dells once again. Caught Drum to use for bait and at about 10:30, BOOM! A huge fish hit. I thought it was a turtle at first but then it started fighting. ended being a monster Flathead that finally became my new PB freshwater fish!

This Sandbar is full of flatheads!!

I decided to try Newport Park in the Dells this weekend and although it was a struggle during the day, once I caught minnows at night and fished with them, the bites started coming. Still no Monsters, but an action-packed night.

Fishing Rapids and Brush Piles on the Pecatonica River

Decided to go to the Pecatonica this Saturday since there was what looked like a decently promising place to fish below a set of rapids. It ended up not being a great place and so I moved downstream to a brush pile which ended up being much better.

Walleye and Catfishing in a small creek

Went to Koshnong creek at Cambridge this week for a day. A lot of creek chubs in the creek to use as bait. The goal was the catch a flathead in the brushes near the boat landing but it didn't happen. I still can't find a spot downstream to fish the creek.

Fishing the Levee on the Wisconsin River

Went to Levee road again on the Wisconsin River to fish for Monsters. It was just after a day of storms but the water was still pretty low. Didn't catch any big catfish but I did catch some smallies, drum, and carp.

Giant caught on the Baraboo

Went to the wayside park last night to fish for a giant fish on the Baraboo. This is the location that is closest to the Wisconsin confluence that has public access. Nothing until nightfall but then I caught a monster!!
