Where/What: Mississippi River pool 5a bass fishing with Scott
Weather: (1253) E8, overcast, 67º 29.93 falling
H20: 72º, 653.51 falling, 61 kfs, dingy
Caught: some bass, quite a few pike, a dogfish and a gar
Observations: The river up here was quite dirty, and the area was lacking any large expanses of weed growth. I did not notice any wild celery to amount to anything anywhere.
We were pre fishing for an upcoming bass tournament on Saturday. And let me tell you did we ever fish, a solid twelve hours worth. I can honestly say that we did not figure anything out. We caught some bass here and there, but nothing was significant or consistent. we could have caught a decent number of small mouths if we wanted to target them, but they were running fairly small. All the fish were relating to weeds, and especially areas with a large amount of weeds. The most consistent bait of the day was a plastic frog of some sort.

6-9-18 bass fishing
6-9-18 10am-12:00pm
Where/What: Mississippi River pool 7 bass fishing
Weather: (1053) SE8, clear, 73º 29.98 falling
H20: ?º, 7.15 falling, clear, 61 kcfs
Caught: 4 LMB one small pike
Observations: There is lots of rice springing up. None of it yet standing, but about 12-18 inches of the plant is laying on the surface.
I only got out for a couple of hours today. My original plan was to fish the channel behind my house, but after about twenty minutes of no bass I knew I had to fish other waters. I ended up fishing the slop out by the main channel and was able to boat a few bass. The action was not fast but there was enough that if i did not have other commitments I would have fished longer.

6-5-18 Cat Fishing
6-5-18 6:45pm-11:00pm
Where/What: Mississippi River pool 7 cat fishing with Scott
Weather: (2153) E5, clear, 72º 29.87 steady
H20: ?º, 7.24 falling, clear, 62 kcfs
Caught: Bait - bluegills and perch, Scott caught a 10 pound flat head
Observations: The aquatic vegetation has really taken off on this pool. More and more of the back sloughs are being obliterated by sedimentation.
Tonight was my second night of cat fishing this season. For myself it was once again a bust, but once again Scott was the champ.

6-3-18 bass fishing
6-3-18 7:30am-2:00pm with Scott
Where/What: Mississippi River pool 8 bass fishing with Scott
Weather: Windy W 16 G30, overcast, 65º 29.92 rising
H20: 72º, 7.11 rising, dirty, 60 kcfs
Caught: (Approx.) 6 largemouth and 3 pike for each of us
Observations: The water is down considerably. Some areas have abundant weed growth and other areas are sparse with vegetation.
The fishing was pretty slow today. The only consistency we had were a few bass tucked along grass islands that had some decent current areas along them. We also has had a little action throwing frogs in the slop, but we never did hook any of them.

5-20-18 10:45am-8:30pm with Scott
Where/What: Mississippi River pool 8 bass and pike fishing
Weather: Rain to sun, 54-64º 29.96 falling
H20: 63º, 8.22 falling, clear, 71 kcfs
Caught: Lots of bass and pike with a few dog fish and two small mouth bass caught by Scott
Observations: The water is still relatively high below the dam. Some of the trees are still flooded. Lily pads are starting to rest on the surface but other than that there is not much aquatic growth in this area.
The fishing was quite good today. The fish count between the two of us easily exceeded fifty fish, with the majority being large mouth bass. Numbers wise between the two of us we were pretty close to being even. Scott pretty much stayed with a chatter bait all day, whereas I changed up quite often. My two go to baits were an in line mepps spinner and a swim jig.

5-19-18 Lake Onalaska backwaters Pool 7, myself 730am-130pm
Weather: (1153) calm, overcast, 75º, 29.86 rising
H20: ?º, 8.5 falling, clear, 74 kcfs
Caught: A fair number of pike, 3 LMB, kept 4 pike, 1 LMB and 1 bluegill
Observations: The lilac and apple tree blooms are winding down. The river is rapidly falling and is extremely shallow behind my house. The aquatic vegetation is well under way.
My goal today was to catch some bluegills for and upcoming fish fry. It did not take me too long to realize that was an unreasonable goal. After about twenty minutes of fishing for gills I decided to concentrate on bass and pike. This fishing was not great but at least I did have some success.

5-17-18 Black River cat fishing with Scott 6pm-11pm
Weather: (1853) E10, clear, 79º, 30.01 rising
H20: ?º, 37.78 falling, clear, 1.58 kcfs
Caught: Bait and one channel cat (Scott)
Observations: The Black river had a little bit too much current for my liking. The mosquitoes and some other type of after dark nat size fly were incredible abundant and horrible.
The first cat fishing outing of the season was not a total bust, but it was not good either. Scott caught one channel cat and he had a couple of other bites. I believe our quarry the flat head catfish has not gotten active yet after a long winter of slumber.
