Anglers are finding great musky and walleye action, with crappies and catfish hitting hard in and amidst the lakes and the Wisconsin River in Wisconsin's Marathon and Lincoln Counties.
Great walleye fishing in the central Wisconsin area has only been overshadowed by the outstanding muskie fishing.
The muskie fishing has been very good with some extremely good fish showing up every time we hit the water. Most of the action has been in 5- to10-feet of water working deeper break lines and weed edges with bucktails and jerkbaits, but a few have come from the main river channel by casting deeper diving crankbaits and rubber baits like Bulldawgs and Medusa's.
For you anglers looking at getting some prime eating fish, the walleye bite has been fantastic in the central Wisconsin area. We have been catching a pile of nice fish during our trips with plenty of them in that 15- to 20-inch range that are perfect for eating. Most of the action is coming on jig and minnow or jig and crawler combinations but a few fish are being caught by guys long lining crawler harnesses over the shallow flats in 5- to 8-feet of water.
The crappie bite continues to be very good in the central Wisconsin area with some real slabs now showing up. A lot of the fish are suspended over deeper water and can be caught by spider rigging or by long line trolling small crankbaits like, Flicker shads and Rapala Shad Raps in 10- to 16-feet of water.
If you are out looking for a real battle, catfish have been providing not only action, but they will put up a fight that will test you to the limit in the central Wisconsin area. We have been regularly catching lots of catfish by working the deeper sections of the main Wisconsin River channel. Most of these feisty cats are caught by jig and minnow but crawlers are working very well too. The key to catching these cats is to keep your bait on the bottom and wait for the pick-up. Give the cat a few seconds to take the bait in, get ready, and set the hook. Hang on ... it's a battle you won't soon forget!
