I was joined by Dave Markquart from Eau Claire's Skeeter Boat Center today for a Wissota mult-species adventure. Dave is pictured here with his big smallie of the day, pushing just past 17" on the tape.
We popped fish on jigs and on cranks/leadcore, with jigs accounting for ~ 80% of the day's catch. We ended the trip with 18 walleyes (all but two in the slot), a similar number of smallies, a couple of pike and a 6 lb channel, all still swimming in Wissota's stained waters.
The water is indeed warming up....temps pushing 78 up in the river when we called it a day...but there is still plenty of fishable water and willing biters to work with. Hope to see you out there soon!

We're fishing all over the place, from the S bridge up to within sight of the dam at Jim Falls.

Nice report Jason!
Those Wissota smallies sure are 'plump', aren't they? The smallies we caught on Sunday were about as big around as they were long and sure put up a fun fight!
