Fall is here and the “BIG FISH” bite is on. The past week my Clients got to enjoy the spectacular colors of fall and catch some “Hog” fish. Walleye’s up to 10 lbs. are being caught right now as the water temps are low 50 degrees and the fish have the feedbag on big time. We are catching our walleyes using a 1/8 oz. and ¼ oz. jig and minnow combination. The key is very large Red tail Chub and Sucker minnows in 4 to 6 inch size, fished in hard bottom areas. A sharp break containing current is also a bonus area where the walleyes are staging. We are also catching walleyes in the 15 to 20 range using this presentation, so if you’re looking for some fast “rod bending” action give this presentation a try.

Crappies and Bluegills continue to bite in the submerged timber in 5 to 10 feet of water. A 1/16 oz jig, tipped with a small crappie minnow, worm or plastic is all you need to trigger these fish into biting.

Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Catfish continue to be biting strong also, it’s hard to steer away from BIG Walleyes we have been catching but other local fisherman and friends have been having great fishing success also.

So come and enjoy some of the best fishing you will experience here in Central Wisconsin. If you see me at the launch or on the water feel free to stop and say HI for a current fishing report, till then keep a tight line and I will see you on the water…

Gotta go they're BITING.
