Out early this morning after big bluegills, 50% successful, caught a number of "gills" but nothing I considered a keeper. Caught fish from 12'-45' of water on plastics/gulp. Plenty of action but I couldn't locate any decent sized bluegills. 

Fished yesterday morning with my son Lucas, my friend Dave and his dad Rich. Started out bad when I forgot to put the drain plug in but after pulling the boat out of the water and draining the boat we went out fishing. Caught a few in less than 20 feet but our best luck was in 40-60 fow about 15-20 feet down. Some of the spots we fished noone was around. We caught about 100 fish and kept 60 for the four of us. Check out this awesome video of the action we had!

Was out fishing a rock bed on Monona today.... Not another boat in sight and this dude rolls up and gets inside 30ft from my boat. He anchored exactly where he was watching me cast. 

Been out this week fishing gills. It's picking up. Was at the terrace last night and saw thousands of these gill fry along the shoreline by the public fishing dock. I had to catch a few to make sure it wasn't my imagination these were all fish. Got my limit or better with one quick scoop of my five gallon bucket. I've seen these same schoolings in other areas of the lake. Looks like the future is bright for bluegill. (Also will be a key forage the next couple of weeks- wink,wink-nudge,nudge) Rat.

PS- It's been a while since I had one of these on. Battlers.

Looking to take my brother out next week. We rarely get to fish together and would be nice if I could get him on some smallies or largemouth.  Don’t know the lake well. Any tips appreciated and I’m still learning, hence the name!   thanks in advance

I'm going to be in the madison area in 2 weeks and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to find some smallmouth? I have a boat with electronics just dont have a lot of time to try and find them. Any information will help speed up the process. Thanks in advance 

Saturday we left at 10am and it was 78-79 by olbrich the last hour. 

Temps were between about 77 and 79 on Saturday afternoon.

Any water temps from the last couple days?
