Haris122 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Went Monday evening up to Busch and decided to fish lake 38 since not many people were supposed to be on it and the lack of wind would make boat operation easier. Didn't catch anything big unfortunately but there were plenty of bites, mainly from Bluegill. I caught 7 of them close to shore on a crappie tube actually, 2 tiny crappie one on a tube, one on a sinking rapala, and 2 largemouth, with biggest one of them at maybe 10", both on rapalas, one the sinking one, one a jointed one. That was pretty much it. Good 2 and a half hours of action, just not big fish. Born to Fish and Greasy B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haris122 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Fished up there again out of the boat, along with a friend who was fly fishing. Same lake, but much different outcomes. Between the 2 of us, only got 1 bluegill in the 3-4 hours there, along with a couple additional bites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greasy B Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Wasn't too long ago 38 had some big Bluegill and Redears. Seems they got a little smaller every year. Even though I cant remember ever seen a real effective pan fisher on it it may have been picked clean.

Even prolific species get fished out with high fishing pressure, I have been reading about Reductions in bag limits etc increase the sizes of sunfish...in some urban lakes they even stock Common carp ....it sucks when one of our personal favorite fishing spot gets wiped out..... http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/fishing/documents/outreach/Bluegill RegsRypel2015.pdf MONKEYS? what monkeys?

Haris122 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Quote Wasn't too long ago 38 had some big Bluegill and Redears. Based off of the Fishing Prospects booklet for this year it's still supposed to be one of the better lakes for Bluegill, Redear, and even Crappie and Bass. But I sure didn't come across any real big ones of anything. Though the Bluegill from last week had some of them being decent sized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
