Busse Lake

Fished the wall 2-4PM.  No catches for me, but the older angler to my right was pulling out crappies with corn kernels.  I shall try this time-honored presentation next visit.  

Shore fished from the fishing wall off Grove 27/28.  8-10AM.  10 of us caught nothing on bobbers, crankbaits, paddle tail grubs.  Saw my first Busse Lake bald eagle overhead, and a couple of deer pranced by.  A nice little break from the heat.

Thanks for the info, Lundman

When I used to fish Busse in my youth, I have since moved north and live on Fox Chain, it was primarily a bass and cat fishery, sprinkled with a few crappie and northerns, but it does have a good walleye population now. What I have seen is people catching them below the little dam between main and south pools, and below the dam on south end. There is a creek channel that would hold fish year round, If you can rent a boat and have some electronics, that would help. Also, try the creek that runs into the south pool on the northwest side, that should also be a good 
spot.

Just joined up as a new member and moved near Busse.  I hope to post reports for you and I hope you will post also.Saw an angler carrying home a good sized channel cat the other day.  I'm hoping to catch a walleye.  Any good spots for it?  Tight lines.

Any updates on ice thickness/fish reports so far? Looking to get out this weekend

Was out here with a spud bar.  Went out a good 50 yards from the boat launch.  5-6 inches of ice all the way out.  Finally a good weekend to ice fish.  

Didn’t fish but drilled a hole to measure the ice on the main pool near the docks at 6 inches.  Measured it with hand and measuring tape.  I was only 30 feet off shore.  Ice was opaque, didn’t freeze clear.  Tread carefully, I would still give it another day to before venturing too far out.

Lol, Paul Orndorff (Mr.Wonderful) died a few years ago. I loved WWF back then. Good memories watching with the old man.

You weren’t, by chance, a professional wrestler . . . . . ?
