Posts: 283 Location: beloit | fished waubesa from 3:00 to 8:00 am today. thick floating weeds every where made it very difficult to fish. we did see 2 fish, I caught a 39" at 4:50, it rolled on my bucktail as I was going into the figure 8 and then it t-boned it on the second time thru, and I had a low 40 follow on the same bait.

Posts: 269 Location: Oregon, WI | Congrats, I was down by you guys when you caught that. I'll second that about the floating weeds. Thought there might be a good top water bite but couldn't get a full retrieve without fouling up. I didn't put any ski's in the boat. Caught a bass, shook off a couple of northerns and had 4 other swing and misses, one being a northern. The others ??? Up until the water starting warming up was moving fish just about everywhere and anytime. Now not so. Having to do allot of searching at prime times. | ||

Posts: 574 | Anyone have a temp for Waubesa yesterday???????????????? Curious if its over 80 yet? Dont want to waste my time putting a boat in just to take it out. Forcast for the next 10 days is brutal, mid to upper 80s ALL WEEK. May be time for bigger deeper waters. | ||

Posts: 462 Location: Madison Wi. Chain | I was out on Sunday. The water temps were pushing 74-77 degrees. The algae bloom was brutal and there was floating crap everywhere. You might want to think about Monona as the temps and maybe algae perhaps are better. Water temps should skyrocket this next week. BG | ||

Posts: 415 Location: madison wisconsin | Out with muskie! nut on Monona from 5:30-noon. Managed one 33" spotted, pretty fish, on a figure 8. If nut was'nt in the boat I probably never got it. Really helped me out on my figure 8's(I needed it). Both of us had another follow. Water temps were 76-77 this morning Fishing was'nt bad considering the heat. This morning humidity was brutal. We actually thought it would be a short day. Edited by wers4455 6/23/2009 2:07 PM | ||

Posts: 269 Location: Oregon, WI | Was out this morning on Waubesa and Monona. Moved a couple smaller fish. Got 2 northerns, 1 being 32" and lost a monster bass. Water temps were in the musky un-safe zone when I left. Up to 82 degrees on Monona and 85 on Waubesa. | ||

Posts: 814 | the water just went over 80 this isn't true temp. A couple hot days isn't enough to turn the whole lake this temp. Rain is expected in the next couple days, it should bring it back down. Its only about 75 down 4 feet or so. just be carefull and water release if you catch one. | ||

Posts: 269 Location: Oregon, WI | I would have to imagine that it is quite cooler down a few feet since there wasn't a breath of wind and it was only 75 in the river between Monona and Waubesa. | ||

Posts: 181 Location: Valparaiso, Indiana | I fished Minona for the fist time yesterday and was able to boat 2 38" fish.. surface water temps ranged from 77 in the morning to 84 in the afternoon. All i can say is it was "HOT" out there. No breeze, flat calm. But i was nice to boat 2 fish. Both fish were caught on a Shad color Kickn Minnow in 30' of water. Algae bloom was pretty thick in some parts of the lake. Edited by MuskyRuss 6/24/2009 10:14 AM | ||

the tues league was cancelled due to surface temps on waubesa well over 80, i'd imagine 5 feet down might be cooler but not sure? some still fished and did a water release. with the highs wed/today and beyond please take great care and keep the fish out of the water as little as possible. | |||

Posts: 413 Location: Madison WI | I will check the temps on Monona tonight when I go out. Surface temps on Wednesday night were about 80-81 but 3 ft down they were about 76-77. Hopefully with the cooler nights they will drop some. I haven't been down to Wingra in the last couple of days but last time I was there temps were above 80. | ||

Got up to Madison for the day Tuesday 7/7 and hit up Waubesa for the first time this year. On the water by 5am, bucktails showed us 2 follows before my buddy got a nice chunky 35.5'' to eat his cowgirl. That was all the action we had, great weather. We did see two younger guys in a black Alumacraft with white rod holders catch 3 fish in less then an hour. One fish looked to be mid/upper 40's, they fished one spot wothout moving the whole time they were in sight. | |||
