Capital City and Southwest bike Trails

Decided to go on a ride today and just circled the Madison Area. Took the Southwest Bike path until it crossed the Capital City Trail and then took it until it hit lake Monona. About 23.3 miles in all and a great adventure.

Fishing at Fox River Dam in Waukesha

Went fishing at the Fox River Dam in Waukesha this weekend. Spent most of the time talking to other people about what bait they were using and seeing what was in the water. Mostly sunfish that you could use as bait to catch larger fish like bowfin. Landed a bullhead and a sunfish myself, lost what seemed to be a channel cat and saw someone pull up a snapping turtle.

Biking from Madison to Sauk City

Another Biking adventure Video Series. The route from Madison to Sauk City is about 45 miles out and back for me. it crosses several bike trails and many miles of backroads and finally crosses the Wisconsin River before arriving at Sauk City.

Freshwater Drum(sheepshead) hitting hard at Jefferson Dam

Going to a small pond with no fish first and the to Babcock county park. Caught 1 bass there after a few hours and decided to go to fish camp, only to find there were too many boats for me to fish off the dock. Finally decided to go to Jefferson Dam. After catching nothing for the first hour and a half, I put on a purple worm lure around dusk and that's when all the fish started hitting. Three Freshwater Drum within 40 minutes.

Almost got skunked fishing, but last location saved me

Spent Sunday running all over Southern Wisconsin trying to catch fish but Salmo Pond, Lake Wisconsin, and Prairie Du Sac Dam were all very disappointing. I headed back to crystal lake at almost dusk and managed to salvage what was left of the day by hooking three bass.

The Bass Keep biting at Crystal Lake when I'm Bluegill fishing!

I went fishing at Crystal lake, about 30 minutes from my house, mainly for bluegill. However, the Bass just kept biting the bait to no end. Got so many takes and managed to reel in 5 , with the last one being the biggest one so far this year. Crystal lake lives up to its name of being a bass lake indeed.

Catching Small Bass at Tenney Park

I love me some fishing and I had to get a good start to the season so I went to Tenney Lagoon where I knew there were plenty of small fish just waiting to be caught. To my surprise, this time it was small bass and no the usual panfish. Still, this did not stop a legendary fisherman for catching his fish.

Devil's Lake State Park Hiking

Devil's lake is one of the best hiking spots in the state. It features scenic viewpoints, a lot of ups and downs for exercise, beaches, canoes, and lots of wildlife. It is one of Wisconsin's most complete state park out there. The loop around the lake is part of the ice-age trail and takes a few hours to finish, but is great for a morning or afternoon hike.
