Location: Roscoe IL | Fished it (monona) Saturday and moved 4. two chased an Ace tandem (spinnerbait) and two missed a topraider. One crazy fish missed it so bad the topraider got thrown 2 feet in the air. Didn't see anything from 10am to noon so we called it a day with all the boat traffic. Lots of floating weeds. |

Location: McFarland | Fished Wednesday 6/30 for our first match of the year. Got a 34" on Monona at 9:15 a.m. and a 47" on Waubesa at around 8:15 p.m. Raised one other on Monona. Pretty slow day but the 47 made it worth it especially since she ate a cowgirl on the 8

| water temps on chain over 80 deg. 84 today waubesa 81 monona. Very hard on fish please water release only. Watched 2 guys kill a 34" tonight from netting and putting in boat and then taking pictures. I explained to them not to take out of water when its this hot. They said they had to have pictures.
Im done fishing for musky till temps drop.

| Good call Jeff, they've been bouncing up and down, but I think its here to stay for awhile. Unfortunetely the majority of guys still fishing when its well over 80 are the guys who need a pic of every fish they catch to show off, wheather 34, or 43! Hopefully they only have to kill one before they learn.
Pray for wind, clouds and colder temps!!! |

Location: Contrarian Island | bluegills are on the weedlines on Monona...limits in under 1.5 hrs ... some up to 9.5... give the muskies a break!!! let the water temps (not just surface temp) cool back into the mid 70s...imo they have been too high for a while to fish ...watched one big one take wayyy tooo long to release after a very long fight...no need to fish right now here.

| I am going to be camping on Waubesa in a few weeks and was wondering if there is anywhere to rent a boat close by. |

| Barr's Resort in McFarland used to rent out boats. Give them a call and see if they still do. 608-838-9917 |
