    Once again Mother Nature has hit us with another major April snow storm impacting both fishing and hunting. The latest dumping dropped over 10 inches of wet heavy snow in the Central Wisconsin area creating quite a mess. On a positive note I recently picked up my new Crestliner boat from Amherst Marine and I absolutely love it. A huge thank you ...

    Last week Thursday and Friday fishing started to get really good.  Crappies turned on and anglers were doing very well.  The weekends weather pattern with high winds and cold, though, slowed fishing down a bit.  Though the forecast this week looks to get warmer and warmer which will turn the pan fishing on again.  Ice conditions...

    Warmer temperatures and easier travel (by foot) has brought more anglers out to do some late season ice fishing.  Snow pack has gone down on lakes, with the exception of southern shores where the sun doesn’t hit the snow to melt it down as fast.  There is still plenty of ice, reports vary from 20” to 25”+. ...

    This past has been another one of many changes. We are starting to see a few guys hit the open water below area dams as well as a few brave souls still venturing out on the ice for some late ice fishing. The guys that are fishing the water below the dams are fishing from shore as well as getting out in some small boats and they are picking up so...

    March 18, 2019 Steve Suman   According to the current forecast, once we move past Tuesday night and Wednesday skies clear and temperatures turn mild (for awhile), with highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s. It was a big change in a short period! The down side is dealing with wet and sloppy conditions – but not too much to ask for warmer...

    Well things are turning around a little bit and we are finding a few locations to get on the ice.  With the recent warmer weather we have been seeing some of the ice is becoming accessible but it is sloppy. We also found some okay conditions further south in the state and we were able to get on some very good perch fishing.  Again acces...
