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.
Explored two different places on the Pecatonica yesterday at Blanchardville and at Darlington. I didn't get any Walleye or Smallmouth but I did get a few Gatofish including my first Stonecat, which I thought was a baby flathead.
It was a nice day today so I went first to Sixmile Creek and then Cherokee Marsh Afterwards to do some Urban fishing. Only 1 fish at Sixmile as it seems that it was still too soon for that place but Cherokee turned out to be a lot better.
Went to Cherokee Park on opening day before it gets so overgrown that its unfishable and tried casting mini hotdogs for Catfish. However, I did not get any catfish except Lesser Catfish(Bullheads). However the hot dogs attracted a lot of Big fish of Death.
With the water levels incredibly low, I went to the Rock River at Jefferson. The bite wasn't great but I did manage to get a Walleye, a white bass, and large amounts of drum plus a yellow perch. No Gatofish, but maybe next time.
Decided to hop in the car and drive to Jaeger Mill at Danville today. This mill has always intrigued me for fishing. I did manage to lose several hooks and sinkers, a fly, and a spoon there but I did manage to catch several fish. Just not the flathead I was after.
So I found the little scoundrels that were taking my big Baits at night. They were lesser Gatofish(bullheads). Even with my 5/0 and 8/0 hooks, they were still taking the bait. They can get pretty big, but not the Gatofish I was looking for.
It was still cold today so I decided to stay close and went to Middleton Hills South Park. Didn't catch any fish for a while but then they started biting. I thought it was small bluegill but it was goldfish after goldfish after goldfish. Apparently there is nothing else in the pond.
Went to fish the Rock River at Fort Atkinson today. Picked a place in front of the Rock river bait shop. Put on some bottom baits and threw some flies for Walleyes. Ended up getting a variety of fish.
Went to a secret secluded woody spot on the Sugar Today near Decatur dam. Fished until after dark and got a Catfish finally. I did catch several fish but the water was low and I don't think some of the fish I was after were biting quite yet.
