any good lakes in Wisconsin?Taking G-kids & looking for something reasonable and clean with good fishing.Mainly panfish for them.
Thank you

Depends in Wis where you are going. If your going to the Tomahawk area,try lake Alice. Its full of nice crappies and Im sure you will pick up a walley or two. Lake Mohawskin has good bluegils and bigger crappie than Alice but Alice has more fish.

i am just starting to look.used to go to minnesota but thats to far from ohio with kids.
thanks i'll check it out

Lake Geneva Or Delavan Is Good For Rock Bass Easy To Catch GOOD FOR YOUNG KIDS. HAS GOOD NORTHERNS TOO. I Go Up There To Salmon Fish Lake Michigan And Usually Hit It 1 Day While I Am There

I like Lake Geneva also. It is pretty simple to hit the rock bass. We used night crawlers and fished up near Big Foot State Park. We got a guide the first time and spent $150. It was well worth the money the first time but I don't need him anymore. We caught fish all day long so get plenty of crawlers. We also used a puffer to inject air into the crawler to keep them off the bottom. The funniest thing was that we were fishing on the boat while my wife was on the beach swimming with the kids less then 100 yards away. I also hit Lake Michigan in August for the salmon run. Nothing like breaking your arm for 20 pound salmon. With six guys it is a cheap trip and you can catch all you need in a half day trip and then hit the town somewhere. We usully go for two days in a row and bring home tons of fish.

Thanks,I'm still looking around.Is there much besides rock bass?
thanks again

I am sure there is but I haven't found it yet. my wife is from up there and her entire family lives there with her parents, and two brothers having cabins on lakes. I got two friends from there also. What they consider great fishing I count as an ok day but it is probably the lakes and their lack of knowledge. I am sure their are some really nice places up there to catch fish but I personally haven't been there. I am sure the farther north you are the better it gets for the smallies and walleyes. Both are fun to catch. Perch seems to be the big deal up in WI but I find it to be in the catfish level as food when I put it up against walleyes or crappie.

Leke Geneva has a lot of diffrent fish from large Small mouth and Large mouth bass to walleye over 10# and big Northern's. The pan fish are also big Bluegills over 11'' huge crappie and lots of rock bass to keep the kids busy. Another good lake to fish west of Geneva is Lake Delevan. Same type of fish but easier to fish and not so busy with boaters and water skiers. For a relaxing vacation check out Blue Top Resort in Fremont Wi. They rent cabins and boats or you can camp. Good luck and enjoy your grandkids. This is about 45minutes west of Oshkosh on 10.

I will check it out.

where do you recommend going on delavan or lake geneva?

This time of year I would check out the Big foot beach flats and weed-break line. In front of the golf course by the narrows and around the piers on the north side of the lake. Haven't fished Delevan that much in the spring but I woud look for the flats and spawning areas and weed break lines.

Spoke to family up there just today. Report I got is weather is a little screwie, so it has he fishing off a bit. Shawano Lake is producing perch right now. Winnebago has been a little slow for walleye, but there are still some being caught. Haven't heard much about Lake Poygan or Butte de More (sp) but they usually produce perch also this time of year. Try leaches just off the bottom for the perch. As far as bluegill. I hear the water temps are still down so they haven't really started bedding yet. Sounds like they are still in their winter pattern for now.
Of course, lot of this may not hold true for all bodies of water up there. WI has so many lakes it is hard to get a report for all of them.
If I hear any more reports from family or friends I will post that information.

ok. i have never been up there. is there a boat launch around those areas you were talking about barn dog?

I have heard to launch your boat its like $30...is that true?

Launch Fees Are Crazy Up There I Think I Paid 20.00 At Geneva Last Summer

Sounds like a nice place.Any Bull'gills in summer??
Thanks agin
