Fishing from hudson,wi shore for catfish and rough fish

[Icefishfun]

I am looking to get on some carp,cats,suckers,and sheepies and I know there is good shore access in hudson. Any other spots for those in the hudson,wi area? Thanks in advance.

I have lived in River Falls, WI for two years, and I have fished a few spots on the St.Croix. I never have fished the Hudson area due to most of my time being available during the high boat traffic period of summer, but I would suggest the King Plant discharge in Bayport for starting out. You will snag and break off a bit there, but I have caught Gar, Sheepshead (big, like 15 pounds kinda big), Smallies, Channel Cats, Carp, and Pike there. I have seen large Sturgeon jump in late August and early September there as well and friends of mine have caught nice Flathead Cats there. If you want to set up a trip to my other spots on the shore about 15-20 minutes from Hudson. Also, Matt's Lucky Bait in Lakeland can give you some really good advice!

The somerset landing has plenty of room for shore fishing. I've caught all kinds of stuff there over the years.
