Heading to Wisconsin next Wednesday for my annual trip for some smallie and muskie fishing. We'll also catch some sturgeon hopefully as well. Can't wait. Hopefully there is something photo worthy to share.

Will be using some of my son's baits to try and get some muskie content for his social pages for the website.

btw- for reasons I can't explain, folks in Wisconsin spell it: musky. Almost everyone else spells it muskie. Both are valid

Enjoy your trip

wrong only musky is valid the people that spell it muskie are fibs and mudducks happy to help take that to the bank bromigo

i hope you hit them well the wisconsin is such a crazy river i fish it for smallies way down where it dumps into the sippi and it is a much larger river there than mid state i also fish it way up by eagle river and it is super bony up there just a neat river with different characteristics depending on where you are i dont know if you have family in the wausau area and that anchors you there but if you are into musky you really want to head north a bit and if you are into smallies there is a certain river on the border between wisconsin and the yoopee that has some absolutely amazing fly fishing for smallies like bucket list type stuff take that to the bank bromigo

also the great dane brewing company is originally based in madison and is pretty awesome and they have one in wausau give that a shot if you need a place to eat at night take that to the bank brohan

We had an epic Alaska fishing trip this year. It's our 10th year going. We fish Sockeye in the Kenai River in Soldotna, and white fish (halibut, ling cod, rock fish) in Homer. The limits on sockeye were 6, and the 8 of us limited out all three days of sockeye fishing. We also nailed white fish. We've used the same guide out of Homer for four years now, and he always puts us on fish. I got a 85 lb. halibut - it was awesome.

At least the day of no Walleye gave me this Whitefish, which tasted amazing smoked on my pellet grill

Went ice fishing last weekend and caught some ungodly sized crappies for our state (I guess other regions call them Specks). Adding images with a beer can and 5 gal bucket for perspective.

I'm sorry many of you are cold but it is for a good cause. With Minnesota late December temps in the 50's, I was terrified my 1/26 ice fishing was in peril. The lake we ice fish had two rescue ops of hundreds, which closed lake travel altogether (only guided ATVs). It's a big problem for a 28' fish house. Until yesterday. Temps were -17 last night, and a 5 day cold stretch will be making great ice. Lord willing I'll be on virgin grounds at a top Minnesota fishery.

No kidding. You might have timed this perfectly.

minnesota is the only place on earth where its better to sit in a freezing box and stare at a hole than it is to go hang out with the residents just sayin take that to the bank brohans

Ha, point taken but you aren’t giving due credit to poker, alcohol, fish fry/frozen pizza and general lack of accountability for a weekend.

Got out on a dory today on a charter in Pacific City, OR. Pretty rough launching through the surf, got a huge "HOLD ON!" from the captain as we caught air on the 4th or 5th wave. But once we were out it was a beautiful day - sunny, no wind, mild swell. Caught a bunch of rockfish, landed a 20 lb ling cod on the light rockfish gear, then we limited out on ling before pulling in some crab.

Only scary part was we almost took out a surfer on the way back in to the beach. Captain couldn't see her on the underside of the wave, the poor girl started yelling and I saw her first and yelled to the captain, and he threw it in reverse as she bailed off her board and swam out of the way. Captain said that's the closest he's ever been to hitting someone, that got the heart rate up! Glad nobody got hurt.

Great to get out and do the kind of fishing I grew up doing. And brought home a load of fish and crab!

Any trout fishing guys around?
Trout season opened a month ago here. I’ve been going 2-3 days a week. I’m in Pa fwiw

Nicest fish so far …17”

Heading out again in the morning. Wife and I went out after work today and got 3 dozen minnows in about 15 mins

I have spent a significant time this spring fixing up my boat and trailer. I have put at least 30-40 hours of sweat equity into it, in addition to about a thousand dollars.

Now I think I am ready to roll, next nice day i am going for a short test run offshore of 2-3 miles. I have not been offshore in a few years, but i did have a spot that held cobia and king mackerel back then.

Pretty excited, however the weather is not cooperating. I now remember why i sold my offshore boat.

Fly fishing? Or other?

We head into the Caney Fork (below damn tailwater fishing) near Nashville when we can. Last week was the first weekend in a while they were not running the generators.

First fish of the year.

Not a bad first catch this year as we usually are only catching stockers where we first get in to the river and the larger fish are where we wade down a bit and get to our better spot. Caught another rainbow that wasn't quite as long but had a fatter belly later that day. And they must have stocked with brook trout recently as there were a few more of those caught than we had seen in a while. Hoping the predatory fish are down this year as I think that had a big impact for a few years.

That’s a beautiful brown dude!

I have a fly rig and I mess around with it once in awhile but I’m a minnow guy. Redfins. I have a small creek 5 minutes away and I have permission to get in a few private properties and I catch my own. 4 ft seine and kick the rocks downstream to it.
I’ve been doing it myself for years but it’s difficult alone and I’m not as young as I used to be. I bought my wife a license this year so she can hold the net for me lol. So much easier and faster. Just another reason I’m lucky to have her.

I caught probably a dozen yesterday, nothing big. It’s raining pretty hard today, I’m heading out in a bit and hopefully tomorrow. The creek should be on the rise and hopefully off color a bit so the the big holdovers are feeding

Have a fly rig too and the friends I fish with are planning a trip out west for that. We are on ultralight rod and reel and canned corn or nightcrawlers.

The brown trout panther martin was always my first go to spinner when fishing in wyoming/montana. I would recommend it and a few of the ones down the left hand side. I think the below site is labeled wrong, you want the one in the upper left, which is mislabeled brook trout on their site.

Cool

Yeah I’ve had some luck with those over the years. Black rooster tail and the Mepps aglia with the copper blade and the red plastic on the hook too.

I was talking about plugs though with the rapalas

I thought you were talking about his trip out west. But I have used rapala's for bass and walleye.

Have in the past when fish were not going for other things. Have caught a few that way. Little rooster tails or other small spinning lures work at times there as well.
