Lake Redstone, Sauk County (all postings)

Weather was good, winds were calm early, fished most of the inlets and the narrows, caught 6 fish, no keepers. crappies were small and males, fished for 6 hours.

It was a greatday to be on the water. Fishing not so good section 11 water temp 56 big lake 59. Never caught a fish at section 11. Found some in the narrows. Always have better luck when section 11 water is warmer than tne rest of the lake seems thats when the crappies move in. All crappies were males today. Goodluck will be back again in a week and see how the lake does then.

Went out last week with the kids and this week. Did good on the Crappies and bluegills. Threw back little ones and kept some bigger ones. had a client on Redstone on Sat. We had two muskies try. One swirled at a bootail about four feet from boat and the other swiped hard at my Eat Me Lure. It missed with its mouth and hit it with the body I believe, as it swiped. Jolted me hard, but no hooks in. This was all on Redstone. Then on another note I took a client to Petenwell on Sunday. We boated two. On spinners by Esoxs Assault Tackle. That is 4 fish in two trips that either tried to eat or were caught. I have some openings left. If your intrested feel free to contact me. CPR.

Fish 10am-5pm today. Water is very dirty as spring turnover and tree flowers/pollen are tag-teaming this year. Water was 60-64 degrees. Many bluegill were seen hanging under piers and brush. Caught a few crappies deep and a few shallow but never found any schools. Minnows and plastic both worked. Caught fish on jigs, splits and slip bobber rigs. Surprisingly there were still a few loons on the lake.

Did anyone have any luck musky fishing on the opener??

Jig and pig for bass? Seems to me that bass fishing does not start until Saturday. Checked the regulations and there does not seem to be open except for panfish.

Water temp near north end was 54. Water temp near dam was 49. Crappie are active, caught half dozen 8-10 inchers, but no largemouth. Used crappie minnows for crappie. Tried both Mepps 3 and pig & jig for bass.

Fished 10am-5pm today. Water was 48-50 degrees. No pier at Fox Court and no buoys. Caught some decent crappies and perch. At least two dozen loons on the lake. Have a safe and enjoyable opener.

Anybody been out on the water? Crappies hitting yet? Thanks ahead of time

Thanks for update BPW, might have to get out around chasing turkey

Put in at Fox Court today. Water was 40-43 degrees. Many migrating birds including multiple osprey. Lake is clear of ice except Section 11, north channel and the northeast corner of the main lake. Caught a few decent crappies and one smallmouth. Beautiful day. Finally!

Had a friend stop at lake thurs and was still iced over off section eleven landing.

just wondering is ice off. geting the spring perch and crappie itch. im from Edgerton WI so its a drive for me to come up and find ice with the boat would just suck. so please any info would be great thanks in advance.
