I've got to stop fishing this lake on weekends. Way too many people to deal with. Went out with Andy tonight and ended up with 3, including the 20" in the pic. Saw it swirl after a baitfish, threw a creature at it and it hit right away. Thought it was actually bigger when its head first came out of the water.

Lake Waubesa - June 19, 2010

Got out from 7:00 to 9:30 tonight - fished the west shore. Saw schools of shad (?) surfacing on the inside edge of the weeds all night. Caught 3 largies and 2 snakes on DT-1's All small. Missed a few others but still slow! Water seemed cool, high, and clear.

Lake Waubesa - Wednesday, June 16, 2010

Skunked again! I had one small fish hit about 10' away, and that was it. Fished 2 1/2 hours from 7 to 9:30 pm. Conditions looked good - lake flattened out about 8:00 and yet nothing interested in DT-1's on the surface. Bluegill fisherman were getting skunked too. Water is very high after all the rain we've had.

Had a run-in with the guy that manages the apt. building next to the Beach House. Said I wasn't supposed to be fishing under private docks. Let's just say ... it stop me from doing it!

Lake Waubesa - Monday, June 14, 2010

Not a good night. Andy got 7, I got the skunk! AND ... I had a snakey pike sink a pair of hooks into two of my fingers. Not good! Conditions looked perfect ... just didn't produce. Need some heat to color up the water a little.

Fished a few hours after Erin's graduation party. Only got 8, but Andy got a beautiful 20". Looked like it just ate a bluegill. Had a number of larger fish hit and miss, including 3 by the Beach House. Everything on DT-1's on the calm shoreline between 6:30 and 8:30 pm. Cloudy, warm but cooling off as the night went on.

Slow night tonight .... Cool NE wind. Fished the flat in front of the dock, got 5 largies and 2 decent pike onthe brown and yellow DT-1. One largie at 16" and 3 at 17". Nice average size, just not much action. Cold front came through before the heat expected this weekend.

Lake Waubesa - Memorial Day 2010

Grrrrrrrrr ... Lost an absolute MONSTER tonight. Could have been 24". Hit on a DT-1 just as it hit the water. Got 10 cranks in before it jumped and tossed the bait.

Spent the evening on the west shore. Still fairly slow. Lake is all chewed up from the boats. I was told they mowed that shoreline 5 days ago. Ended up with 9 ... all on DT's. Had a few ticks on worms under docks, but that was it.
