please post here for all general conversation. only post in the lakes and river sections if you are adding information about a particular body of water. this will keep those threads clean and easy to access for needed info. thank you in advance for your help.

Himo ,
this lake is way to small to put on here were talking well under 20 acres. the only reason there is cats in there is one of the oldtimers that live on the lake released like 40 of them in there he said that was like 30yrs ago. ive been hering about more and more cats being caught out of there and would like to give it a try. i can say its in lincion county :o
-
hey you never know I may be able to find a listing for it. e-mail me the name of the lake and I'll see what I can come up with.

If the pond is that small use any of the basics. Nightcrawlers, usually a big glob, stinky cut bait , or some of the commercial stuff you can buy at a bait shop. Tou have to play around with different stuff and just start searching for them. ;) 8)

Hey Chuck. check out the lakes section. I posted the info I could find.

This past weekend I went and picked up my smaller boat at my grandmother's house. I haven't used it in about 3 and half years. I put mothballs in the boat, but I must have forgot to put some in the motor. When I took off the cover there was a nice nest and a dead mouse next to the motor. I hope the mice didn't mess up anything else. I would like to use the boat to get on some smaller water's this year. I'll have to test the motor out to see if it runs right.
---On a side note does anyone know a place in Southeastern Wisconsin where I can have the motor possibly serviced. Somewhere that is reliable and decently priced. Anywhere in the Milwaukee or surrounding area would be great.

try :
mack's motors
4224 s. kk ave.
st. francis
414-483-4628

Hey thanks Himo. I'll definately check that place out. The motor's a 25 horse Johnson, from the 1970's.

Does anyone no any good panfish lakes around merrill? My son turns 2 this month and I cant wait to take him fishing. Thanks
-
I think I will finally get out this Friday! 8) It's going to be in the middle 70's in the southeastern part of the state. I think the fish will be moving into shallow waters.
-
OK where is everybody? It is getting kind of boring being the only person from Wisconsin posting. come on guys let's get this forum rolling.

so how is everybody doing around the state here in merrill the fishing on the river is starting to get better havebeen getting a few nice size walleyes the bass havent started to bite yet my son got a nice northren yesterday on a large shiner. the lakes around here still have ice on them i dont think its thick enough to go on im just dieing to get the boat on these lakes ;D anybody planing on doing any smelting this year?
-
Friday I got my little boat out for the first time in 3 years and the motor actually ran great. Saturday I took out the big boat and tried to get some panfish to bite and I came home with absolutely nothing. It was nice to finally be on the water again though.
-
Well opening day down here is this Saturday. I'll be out Turkey hunting so I won't be able to fish until nxt weekend. Tell me guy's how you do?
-
I guess no one went out???

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL MY WISCONSIN FISHER FRIENDS!!!!!

Thought of the day. Remain Positive! With the winning mental attitude, you're going to catch more fish and you'll ge better each time you hit the water. Make a plan before you start casting. Use that slowdown period to determine what you're going to do, why, and how best to execute it.
-
words of wisdom. thanks duke.
HIMO
-
I will be on the out for more like that, Or in all the time I have now, I can come up with more.
-
Take your time. Remember, it's been awhile sence you've been on the water. Think back to last spring when you fished in the early season.Don't fish blindly if you can help avoid it. Duke- N-I

I have been starting to catch some nice catfish on the wolf river. It would really help if the weather would warm up. If any within 60 miles of Shiocton is fishing bullheads if you could keep them alive I would like to get some for bait. Can I buy them or is that against the law? Maybe we can work out a trade. Let me know
Thanks

Just wondering if there are any local bass clubs in this area. Doesn't matter if it's just a local one or affiliated with B.a.s.s. I might be moving up to this area and would love to join one. Here in LaCrosse there are quite a few and I am in a local one where we just fish on wed. nights for fun. If there arn't any would anyone out there be interested in joining one of these clubs. Pm me if you would like to.

I'm happy to say that after 4 years away from Wisconsin...I'm coming home baby! I should be all settled down by next month. I'll be living around the Green Bay area. Back to the land of cheese and beer I go :D

Hello!! Anyone fishing in Wisconsin lately. I went out last weekend and caught several nice smallies. Just wondering if anyone else is having some luck in the dog days of summer.

Lake Winnebago produces quite a few large channels in mid to late spring off the east shore. Fish live or cut bait on the bottom evenings or at night. Shore fishing can be effective. You seldom hear about cats in this lake but theres a good population of them.

Frankly I think alot of guys figured out that posting reports on favorite spots winds up with drawing way too much fishing pressure. It's just about sure death for small waters, I've seen it happen and more than once. I'll post reports but never on small streams and only on lakes that are at least bigger than 350 acres.
Having said that there are still topics other than reports that can engage a few people. What are hot Lures/Baits in Wisconsin, your area of the State? Just one example.
