Wisconsin anybody?

[Backwoodsboy7]

Ill be heading to Wisconsin this weekend with a few of my buddies to fish Yellow. Is anyone else going to be there? Im JACKED UP!!

[Nick Kuhn]

I'll be in Wisconsin, just not on Yellow. Weather will make fishing a bit of guesswork.

Wayyy too much rain in the Price county area...5 inches over the weekend.

no musky bites....

[Cooter]

Got a small 31" Sunday

A bud got 4 on Sat - biggest was 36"

Another got 2 on Sat - biggest was 34"

Yet another a 47" on Sunday

I'll be back out either tonight or tomorrow night.

The rain really put a damper on my fishing, didn't even get the boat out Saturday. Had 4 follows all on a glider this weekend. Saw one fish caught on a live sucker over deeper water. Guy claimed it to be 46" but there's no way, it was much closer to 36". For the 8 or so hours of casting, 4 hours of that had audible thunder. To give you an idea, this picture was taken not 10 minutes after my hottest follow:

The good news is unlike last year, fish appeared to be in the usual haunts. I'm thinking between the weather and increased Memorial Day traffic, they simply weren't very aggressive. Saturday looks like it was the day to be out; but where I was there's no way the boat was coming out. I did quite well off the dock on bass and pike in the 15 minute windows before storms rolled through. But there must have been 5 or 6 different storms that came through.

fished my first wisonsin opener. Saw 9 saturday morning and 2 were pushin 50". Sunday i had 2 real nice fish up on a viper in the evening right before a storm. Yesterday i lost a 45 in the 8 and my girlfriend had a solid 4 footer eat her mini dussa right at her feet but was caught sleeping. All in all a great weekend and felt good to be throwin baits again.

Looks like you found the fish; I can't land them for you though

[Andrew Erickson]

yeah i totally blew it on my fish haha. Both of the fish we had on came 10 minutes apart in the middle of the afternoon, bright blue bird skys with no wind with boats flyin all around us. go figure

I had one scare the heck out of me when he almost jumped in the boat on Yellow last Saturday. He missed me by about three feet. I was out in 20 FOW most of the weekend and I saw more than a few breaking in that depth. Some day I may need to try for those things when I am out on Yellow. The walleye fishing was good on Saturday, half as good on Sunday and slow on Monday for me.

Those were sturgeon not muskies. Sturgeon jump for no apparent reason. Muskies rarely jump unless they are hooked or trying to grab a lure as you pull out to cast again.

Got 3 on the wisconsin river trolling on sunday. A 43, 45 an a 48 and a half. Lost one fish later that evening that looked ta be about 36 inches maybe. Got a 40 incher on wabuesa on monday morning.....

The one that almost came in the boat was for sure a musky. I got a very good look at it when it was only three feet away trying to eat a panfish. I saw a few sturgeon jump but not as many as I see most years. The muskies I was seeing were not jumping clear of the water like sturgeon do. They were chasing panfish and just breaking the surface.
