07Rapala Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 I used to be big into bass fishing in high school. But when I went off to college there weren't many good fishing options nearby and I got into mountain biking which took up most of my free time. Now its been 25 years and I'm looking for a way to spend more time outside to relax and reduce stress. I live in Madison WI, and honestly had no idea until a few weeks ago that Lake Mendota is considered a world class smallmouth bass fishery. I live within a few blocks of the nearby Lake Monona. I'm looking forward to learning what I do fishing from shore or from my canoe. I want to keep it simple, but I want to land as many fish as I can this way. Quote

Junk Fisherman Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 Welcome. The Madison Chain is a fantastic fishery. My bass club goes there most years for a tournament so that tells you how the guys feel about the place. And we never fish Mendota since it has the 1 fish, 18" limit. You're really fortunate to have such a good fishery in your backyard. Quote
Super User islandbass Posted March 14, 2022 Super User Posted March 14, 2022 Welcome back and what a blessing to live near such a lake. Smallies are in a class by themselves. Quote
