golf course and small pond bass fishing

Brought to you from somewhere in Lake County on a hot summer day. Fishing in a dress shirt and a tie just after work. This isn't the most technical type of fishing around but for me its getting back to my roots. Nothing huge, nothing to brag about, but it sure feels good to bend the rod on a couple largemouth bass. With a little diligence, there are some big ones to be had. golf course...

chicago perch fishing report

Damien made it out both today and back on Tuesday locally for some tasty Chicago perch. He did very well both days with good numbers and a few of the fish were over 14 inches. The bite still seems strong if you know where to look. As for me, I've been going back and forth on where to fish tomorrow, but its hard to walk away from a hot bite! chicago harbor perch from tuesday chicago harbor perch...

montrose harbor perch fishing report

sunrise over montrose harbor This was my maiden voyage into the fantastic world of harbor perch fishing. Many of these harbors are found just a stones throw from downtown Chicago and have the tendency to attract some really big crowds. I met Damien and his father down there for a short morning perch outing and was happy to have a few guys with some experience show me the ropes. Damien recommended...

lake michigan harbor perch fishing

lake michigan harbor perch If the bite keeps up and the weather permits, then look for me and Damien out on the big lake. I'm excited to see what Chicago's perch fishing is all about and it will be nice to get down in Damien's neck of the woods. It will be a nice break from crawling through the weeds and bugs. Come to think about it, its been forever since I've kept or eaten a fish and I've got...

dane county trout report

Summer is quickly locking a lot of the streams up tight with a neck high wall of weeds and brush making access hard (but not impossible). As the temperatures rise, my enthusiasm for crawling through the brush diminishes. The long drive trout excursions will be saved for some of the milder, cooler, or overcast days. With the storms that rolled through end of last week, we dropped almost twenty degrees....

memorial day trout

my best brown of the day Here’s some fish from the Memorial Day weekend we found while bouncing from stream to stream in Dane county. Fifty percent of the streams we encountered were muddy and high and we just continued on until we found ideal conditions. A lot of the places we caught fish were places we had never fished before, we just happened to be close by and decided to give it a shot. We...

a "how to" for finding new wisconsin trout water

Recently, a few people have inquired about how I go about finding trout streams in a particular area. Most trout fisherman are very tight lipped when it comes to sharing the exact location of their favorite streams (they believe that good trout water is something earned and not just given away for free). This is a mindset that I support to a certain extent, but I’m always willing to point a person...
