March Fishing Reports and Pictures

Me and kv56 trading secrets at the Madison Fishing Expo.

You boyz see the temps that are starting Thursday!!! WhoOOOhOOO!!! I’ll be in my boat for sure!!!

Yes I have, after the 6 to 12 inch of snow Tuesday water levels should not be an issue for the spring run.

Would be nice to fill the pond back up. Fricken hate March, takes to long to get done. Think I’ll go spool some reels or something.

kv get’em spooled it wouldn’t be long pal.

Rain never got me so pumped up before. Water levels are finally rising and the ice is breaking up. It still looks like it’ll at least be the end of the month before I see a rig on the river. Down side of the rain is I went shopping and dropped a couple bills on new Muck boots and rain pants.

Bonus Pike down at the dam.. Figured I’d snap a pic of this one before releasing, she had some real nice coloring… 4 of them toothy buggers nailed my jig, all around the 30″ mark.

way to go Nauga. Was hoping those big guys would be back after the summer die off.

This cold snap was a great thing! Up here along Hy CW, (Lebanon area) the river went up about 4-5 feet and the ice lifted up with it and stayed covered. Most of the water in the fields has froze, so it will help slow down the run off considerably. Otherwise it would have been a freak of a mess with all the busted up ice jams that would have developed.

I took my driveby this morning and it’s locked up even too much for my canoe. It’s nice to see the river level up at least a couple feet though. It looks like it’ll be at least 3-4 weeks. At least I’m popping a few nice gills and crappies from the pond. WeFish, did you find any at Rip the last couple of months? I only made it out there once.

Thats terrible i hope databoy is wrong and the river opens up by next weekend. Winter can go away any day now its march 15th not january 15th.

Been a long time boys, glad to see everyone pumped up for this year. Been lurking and reading the posts on the tourney, sounds like the Jopke brothers may need to enter and put the smack down. Still spots open?

How ya doin Jeff? Been a while since I’ve seen ya on the river. Plan on getting back out there a little more often this year. Good luck guys.

Drove around and hit some open spots on the river, ended up catching 12 twelve most 14 to 14 7/8 in.(walleye/sauger). nice day to be out, a little ice on the line but no big deal.

Happy Birthday River-Bank!

Happy Birthday Kelly Congrat on the 12 eyes, must have been fun.

Thanks guys was fun to dust off the open water gear. Was dragging my go to jig, pink head chart twister tail. Fort area wasnt producing, so I moved south

I did hear they been catching them south.

Ben and I are leaving Wednesday morning for the Illinois River. We will be pre-fishing for 3 days before competing in this weekends MWC tournament in Spring Valley. $20,000 for 1st Place… Ohhhhhhh baby, that sure would fill my box full of jigs!!! Anyways, wish us luck boys, we will be representing Koshkonong and the Rock as best as we can!!!!

Good Luck…

and have some fun.

Good luck to you guys, maybe bring along a Packer helmet if the Asian carp are jumpin

Hey good luck guys. Check your drain plug before launching

Unbelievable, the River actually opened up today from downtown Fort past Jones farm. You better get ready now!

Just like old times i donated a couple a couple jigs today and no bites. A blue ranger and a tub launched downtown. They looked bored fishing though. Didn’t see any white boats.
