Using big bluegills to fish for monsters

Went to the Maunesha at Marshall again, but this time Riley-Depp park upstream. Used big Bluegill to fish for monsters and to see if there was a flathead catfish. Was a little disappointed because 5-6lb channels kept eating my live giils though. Didn't get any flatheads.

Lake Fishing and River Fishing

Went on a boat to Lake Ripley and fishing for a few hours there. I didn't have the deep divers of lures that my friends had so I didn't get any fish but then I went that night to Jefferson and caught a few good ones.

Catfish on fire on the Maunesha River

I decided to go try my luck at Marshall Millpond again and it did pay off, but only after dark. I had some hours to catch some bluegill for cut bait and live bait before dark and only bagged 3 or so plus a small bass and a small pike but after dark, 7 catfish struck in a fairly short time period.

Huge fishes caught at the official lake of Wisconsin

Finally made my way to the official Lake of Wisconsin the last few days and they were great days. First day only caught a drum and a big Catfish but the second day was big bluegills, a big Catfish, a Crappie, and a huge drum. Another PB set!

Fishing for giants at De Pere Dam

Spent a day and a half in the Green Bay area fishing for giants on the fox. First day from the boat, 2nd day from shore. While the shore fishing didn't really come up with anything, I did catch a giant Drum that was my PB, which made the trip worthwhile.

Huge Fish caught on the Baraboo

Spent two days on the Baraboo River at Giese Park right outside of Baraboo. For the most park I caught dinks and some good eater size Catfish but on the 2nd night with some minnows, the big one came and was my biggest channel catfish ever.

Big Fish breaks my hook at Aztalan

I went to Aztalan State Park to fish for 2 days. Its not the most fishy spot but I think there are plenty of Walleye there even though I only caught one. The spot the 2nd day was a lot better than the spot I had the first day but that spot is only available when the water level is low. Will try this spot again later in the summer with some minnows as I think it has a lot of promise.

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.
