Joshawa Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Nice to see some people fishing in some lakes I've actually been to, or could day trip to for that matter. I live in the green bay area and try to get out whenever I can. Most of the time I get out on the pigeon pond or out to the clover leaf lakes (Shawano-Clintonville) but make it up to the Pickerel area on weekends. I don't own a boat yet so I normally just piggy back with anyone thats going out and am always looking for someone to go with. Quote

Super User firefightn15 Posted June 23, 2008 Super User Posted June 23, 2008 I'm not exaclty sure. Was visiting my brother up there by Luck/Fredrick area. It's west/southsest of Fredrick. We put in on the St. Croix for the afternoon last Saturday. First time and it was awesome. Quote
gravyfor3 Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 well, im in scf and i am having some troubles finding some ponds with some bass do you know where some ponds are? Quote
River Rat 58 Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 im from stratford WI. Its smack dab in the middle of the state. Im related firefight15 though he probably wont admit to it. Main fish the eau plane river which goes right through our back yard. Other times i run up to spirit lake fifty miles north of here Quote
shkyhnds Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 hey everyone....It's been a while since I checked this forum out. Went out fishing last Sunday with my old man. We went down by Blackhawk, just south of the Genoa Lock and Dam. Man did we ever clean up on the bass! Using Rat-L-Traps and worms! Caught about 4 dozen Largemouth. I'm heading north to Fountain City this weekend for a small fishing trip. Can't wait. Anyone else noticing an abundance of minows in the water. The bass don't seem to be hitting top water right now. Just wondering if it's because of the abundance of minows? Quote
MIKE1218 Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Hey Wisconsinites. I live in Green Bay. New to the forum, pretty new to bass fishing. I don't have a boat, so I'm always looking for somebody to fish with. Quote

Super User firefightn15 Posted August 1, 2008 Super User Posted August 1, 2008 Hey Mike. Can't do much for you over there, but if your ever in the Mosinee-Marshfield area I might be able to help. There is a couple here from the Bay area. Give them awhile, they should find you. Goodluck! shkyhnds-Ended up with some of the Cavitron buzz baits awhile back. Doing good with them on early morning runs. Quote
SunDropDaddy Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 So I found this site a few days back..Originally from Clintonville/Shawano Area...Back in the day I did A LOT of fishing around East Central Area - School Section (iola), Clover Leaf Lakes (shawano), Shawano Lake, Cedar Lake (towards manawa), Wolf River, Embarass River, Legend Lake (Keshena)....Best lakes I think are Clover Leaf Lakes and Legend Lake...Clover is my favorite...3 lakes in one.... I reside in Wausau now and have no clue about the area...all I know is its great for Musky, bass, and Walleye here around Lake Wausau and Wisconsin River...only been out on the River once, no boat so I canoe it...Wife caught a huge smallmouth.... Looking for pointers on FALL fishing as its early october and I don't know what works here in the area....Also looking for other alternate fishing lakes within a 60 mile radius...Fishing to me is like Football is to die hard packer fans. :-X Quote
SunDropDaddy Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 I been living out of state 5 years and have only fished this summer here in WI (mostly in Clover Leaf Lakes, shawano area) Late June and beginning of July were GREAT...easy fishing...Went back down to GA until August...came back up...HORRIBLE. I couldn't catch a fish to save my life at the end of August...Minnows everywhere...no fish anywhere for me...wife caught 4 in a trip, Caught 0... Got to Wausau, caught my first fish in a month (about 12-14" walleye off the shore of Wisconsin River North of Lake Wausau)... You lake wausau and WI River guys...what is the best part of the river? Is it North or South of the Lake? I have been fishing North of Lake Wausau with minimal success... Quote
Super User firefightn15 Posted October 5, 2008 Super User Posted October 5, 2008 Hey SunDropDaddy, I am about 1/2 hr. from you. I might be able to help you out with river fishing up there. Shoot me a pm. Later. ff15 Quote
tipptruck1 Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I fish lake wausau and the river all the way south to dubay. It seems like you really need a boat or your screwed. But hit lake-link.com. That site will help you. Quote
kayl. Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I live in the Milwaukee area but really haven't found many nice area to fish yet. I've heard that Estabrook park is good for smallies, but haven't checked it out yet. Most of the other parks I've checked in the area were super shallow mudholes that I couldn't buy a bite out of. Foxbrook Park in Brookfield is the nicest one I've found, but you have to pay to enter/park. Quote
Bassaholic007 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 How did everyone's season go in WI? I was able to fish the Madison chain a couple times this year and did pretty good. What's the typical winning tournament weight out there? Do guys venture into Mendota at all for a big smallie in tournaments? Or is that too big of gamble? Quote
Super User firefightn15 Posted October 26, 2008 Super User Posted October 26, 2008 Had a blast up here in the central area. Hit 'em all summer in t he Medford/Riblake area. Biggest I could find though was a 4#er. Last weekend was the first time I could see any depth in my favorite lake for a long time being that the water finally turned. On my retreival with a spinner I see this log coming straight up from the abyss and just smash it out of the water. Pretty cool. Not huge, but a 40in musky/15#. Last fish of the season, unless I can make it out in the next couple of weeks. anyone else? Quote
