Lake Wisconsin, Columbia County (all postings)

Took those ladies out last night and they just would not believe me that there are no fish up in the trees. I wanted to take a picture of how many Mayflies where in the boat after retrieving lures in the trees. I did say if they opened there mouth in the trees they would get a lot of protein. They were good sports and quiet. Me Too *($&##&#&#^#^#^#).

Nice smallies Chipr! Any chance you wanna smile in your next pics! You should be happy with beautiful fish like that!

Fished today 6 to 10:30. Fished the wind swept shore and caught fish galore. Jig & half crawler was the ticket today. Good fishing, Yarrr

God I love Mondays when the lake is quite and normal. Great Am today Hit the South west shore and found another Mayfly hatch going on I got Smallies and some very nice ones like these, along with a big share of smaller ones. No W/B in the area. Went a trolled for and hour and got 2, 9 in. shorts that was it. Went to Moon Valley area the North Shore and found the Mayfly hatch going there too. This time W/B and Smallies. Catching a bunch on surface lures and it is a blast.

Going to try to take the ladies out tonight and see if the Bass will still be around. Good Luck and Safe keeping's. Look out for those Kids on Jet Skis they all must have bad eye sight for how close they come to ya.

Late report from Thursday morning. Went out for 2 hours from 8-10 while kids where in summer school. Out after some bass. Tried the west shore of okee bay. Had one fish one but never saw it. Used plastics and jointed rapalas. Still trying to figure out the lake. Give'r a try again next time. Right lines everyone

Out last night 2 hours after work. Water temp varied between 76-79 degrees. Tons of algae and only one 14.75" Sauger on the night with a blue S/R.

Out tonight after work again, went downriver for a change. Water temps around 74 and not as much algae. Four fish boated, one legal, and 2-3 more lost at the boat. An absolutely beautiful night to be on the water!

Trolling and drop shot. Slow but fun stripers sucking flies so find a group by searching shoreline flip a bait in the group and have fun. This was yesterday. Today a few walleye (eaters).

After a great Wed night on the lake with another Mayfly hatch and some really descent W/B hitting anything I threw at them. God got even this AM No Flies no W/B to be found. Fished for 3 hours with the following results. 2 small Bass, 1 Sheephead, and a clam. Then after the punishment the next hour produced 2 very nice Smallies just under 18.5 in. 4 B/G on crank Baits??? and trolled and got one 19.5 Sauger and 4 shorts on Jointed shad Raps. The Algae is going to get bad next week with these calm waters and heat. Its the week end time to Pontoon.

Water is never clear but didn't seem too green to me. Didn't get any weeds or other debris on lines all evening... just sturdy submerged lumber. LOL

How is the algae? Pretty green out there?

Hopped on my brother's boat with my 3.5 yo son last evening for a couple hours. brother had one 23" eye earlier but we had nothing but snags on lumber pulling flickershads until a sheepie and an eye just over 20" hit as we reeled in lines. Nice evening with almost zero boat traffic made it relaxing despite a paucity of fish.

Fished on Monday from 9 to 3 pm. Tried trolling a flicker shad near the Okee launch. too much blue green algae to keep the line clean. Moved south and tried fishing around stumps near the channel with slip bobber rigs with leeches. No luck. Only caught one smallmouth in six hours.

Had a blast last night just before dark, the may flies were unbelievable and the water was boiling with white bass. My son and I must of caught 100. All released, just fun to catch, not often you can catch fish on almost every cast. Wish I would have had my fly rod along.
