A lot of people don’t realize that we have some of the best
smallmouth bass fishing in the entire state, right out in our
Wisconsin
River.
There aren’t a lot
of places where you can spend a day fishing and catch the numbers and size
of smallmouths that you can catch in the lower
Wisconsin
River.
Some years
ago a friend and I put our boat in at
Gotham
and fished the shorelines back to Muscoda.
We only used topwater baits such as the Rebel Pop R and between us we
caught and released 146 smallmouths with half a dozen largemouths thrown in for
good measure along with a few northerns and even a walleye caught on a topwater
bait.
Now that was a day of great
fishing!
But, that
day wasn’t unusual.
Ever since the DNR
put a 14 inch size limit on bass, the size and quality of the fish has just
exploded.
The numbers of big fish is
amazing and there are trophies out there in great numbers.
Fishing for smallmouths
on the Wisconsin
is a simple thing to do. Get yourself a
few topwater baits, a few small spinners and a few jigs and you’re all
set. It’s fast simple fishing and when
you find that first school of smallies, you’ll be grinning from ear to ear as
you fight these amazingly strong fish.
