Some catches by anglers using small shad...

3/7/2014 5:00:00 PMPanfish have been taking center stage now that the weather has warmed up and the bite has been fantastic on a lot of area lakes. We are also having a great walleye bite as well as catching some monster pike while we are fishing on the backwater areas of the Wisconsin River. Get ready the best part of ice fishing is here and as ...

3/7/2014 4:20:00 PMWith this mornings temp at 4 deg. above, marked the first morning in 8 days dawn cracked above 0 deg. Yesterdays (3/3) -26 deg. (lower up north & west) set a March record, whoopee! Travel has not improved. The game fish season closed without hardly a notice. Access being so bad, getting shacks off is a bigger concern than catching fish. Crapp...
-
3/3/2014 4:20:00 PMSteve Suman The extended forecast calls for (finally!) a significant break in our frigid weather pattern starting this Wednesday or Thursday. Truly, this winter will go down as a memorable one – but we cannot relegate it to memory until it says goodbye! “The 2013-14 game fish season closed this past weekend,” says Pat at Happy H...

-
3/3/2014 3:55:00 PMGreat action this past week as we come to the close of the 2013-2014 inland game fish season. Good thing for us is that the waters we fish are basically never closed as they are almost all associated with or on the Wisconsin River. Walleye action has been very good for both numbers and size along with good catches of crappies, bluegi...

2/26/2014 12:25:00 PMAnd we thought it couldn't get any worse.... Last weeks two days above freezing was followed by nearly a foot of new snow, making access on most lakes next to impossible.Trucks, snowmobiles, even Rangers & Quads with tracks are having trouble getting stuck.Conditions have been bad enough to keep most lakes angler free. A few with fishing not fa...

2/26/2014 12:00:00 PMSteve Suman Participants in the 41st annual Birkebeiner this past weekend found no shortage of cold or snow for their event. A major winter storm late Thursday afternoon through Friday morning dropped more than 18 inches of snow in some areas, blown by 40 mph winds. It did not stop the Birkie, but it did not help the already poor conditi...

2/20/2014 9:25:00 AMOutstanding action for GIANT PIKE in the Central Wisconsin area. Big pike well over 30 inches and even some over 40 inches have been the norm the past few weeks. These are big fish that want a big bait, XL-shiners and good sized suckers have been the bait of choice fished off tip-ups set along shallow weed edges ...
-
2/20/2014 8:55:00 AMFinally a break in the weather. Not great, but, by this winters standard, a nice weekend to be out. The east winds didn’t help much for the fish, nor did the high pressure system. That has all given way to a new batch of snow on Monday that will only add to the travel problems. Pike: Good. Action, as well as par...
-
2/20/2014 8:45:00 AMSteve Suman We have plenty of snow and more on the way, but the coming week’s forecast is for warmer and windy, though with a return to the cold temperatures next weekend.

2/12/2014 8:45:00 PMIf your venturing out on the lakes, make sure that you know where you are going if traveling with any wheeled vehicle. The heavy snow cover and pockets of slush have made it almost impossible for anything but foot and snowmobile travel. Hopefully warmer temps in the forecast will settle the snow down a little on the lakes and make travel a ...

1/29/2014 11:10:00 AMLots of snow in Central Wisconsin is making for difficult travel on area lakes. But for the anglers still willing and able to get out the bite has been good for big walleyes, nice crappies, some dandy catfish, and a few nice perch and pike. The best action has been early and late in the day on all species except the pike which have b...

1/22/2014 12:30:00 PMSteve Suman The Hayward area enjoyed another short-lived break from the extreme cold Sunday as temperatures neared 30 degrees. However, this week’s forecast predicts single digit highs and lows dropping to double-digit subzero some nights.
