A student of mine gave me a fishing lure they made (I teach middle school). I took it to a smaller swampy lake that has pike and bass. The goal was to catch pike and bass. Some big ones were biting!
I love fishing from shore in the Great Lake Tributaries in the fall because the King Salmon run up the rivers and I can catch them casting around with jerkbaits and inline spinners. I got a couple of takers on this trip.
I love fishing the crystal clear waters of the Bark River as it flows out of Lower Nemahbin Lake. It is such a cool stretch of river. I fished it from the spillway down to the next road it runs into. I didn't fish Crooked Lake, though that looks like a cool spot. Found a lot of smallmouth that wanted to bite.
Put an absolute beatdown on the largemouth bass on this kayak fishing adventure. My biggest problem was finding a 14 to 15 inches to keep. Everything I was catching was much bigger than that. Here's the video.
Tried a spillway that is hidden under a bridge for anything that would bite. I have to catch different species for a multispecies tournament and found three different fish that helped me out in the tournament. Nothing huge bit, but a lot of fish were biting.
Tried to catch some brook trout in a spring fed creek, then swung by a swampy lake to try and catch pike and pumpkinseed. It was a great day of fishing.
Got two gizzard shad and countless alewife with the Sabiki Rig at the Oak Creek Power Plant. I was really excited to catch those Gizzard Shad! That's a point in the roughfish tournament I wasn't expecting to get.
Got two gizzard shad and countless alewife with the Sabiki Rig at the Oak Creek Power Plant. I was really excited to catch those Gizzard Shad! Then, I used the alewife as bait.
Chasing some more freshwater fish for the tournament I'm in. Went fishing the morning before my last day of work. Only had an hour and a half, but the smallmouth were biting, and a sucker, too. This was on June 7th, so the Milwaukee River was RAGING.
I went to a swampy lake because there are bowfin in there. I was targeting them because I'm in a fishing tournament where the goal is to catch as many different freshwater fish species (non micro) that you can during the month of June. I found three other fish species in there, too. It was a battle to land this fish through the slop, but thankfully, it stayed on the hook in a pile of weeds until I could kayak over to net it.
