Central Wisconsin Outdoor Report

I spent an evening last week assisting with the Prime Water Anglers annual Kids Fishing Event held on The Stevens Pointy Flowage out of Bukolt Park. There were about 40 kids in attendance ready and waiting to fish for an evening with a guide/fisherperson. Before the fishing began the Wisconsin DNR had a member give a small speech and demonstration on boating and water safety. Many kids were able to go out in boats brought and attended by participating anglers like myself while other children wanted to fish from shore. Lots of nice fish were caught by the kids during the event and after the fishing was done everyone got together to go over fishing stories and receive prizes while enjoying root beer provided by the Stevens Point Brewery and cheese and sausage provided by Ski’s Market. Also huge thanks to Jerry Clinton of Amherst Marine for helping sponsor the event. Water temperatures in central Wisconsin continue to stay in that low 70 degree range which is making for great fishing opportunities. Musky action continues to top out the week with excellent catches being made by area anglers. There were some real giants caught this past week too, like the monster 52 inch fish that was landed by my good friend Bob Charlier of Wausau Wisconsin. Most of the action has been by running bucktails or top water baits in shallow weed related areas with less than 5 feet of water. Smallmouth anglers are seeing great action continue with good catches of nice fish all day long. Most of the action has still been casting small crankbaits or working jigs with tubes or beaver tails in less than 3 feet of water. The walleye bite has been very good this past week. Most of the action has been by anglers throwing crankbaits up in shallow water around shoreline structure like wood and weeds. Please "Text KWIK to 75309” for special offers on your phone.
