Been fishing for a little over 40 years (am 54 now). I was a part-time fishing guide in Wisconsin fishing from shore, hitting the rivers and inland lakes with my boat and friends in tow and also getting out when I could on the big pond (Lake Michigan) for the salmon and trout runs.

General Info

Interests
Wisconsin born and bred...to fish, that is, but tricked to move to NH - was told the beer and cheese was better than back home...not finding either one to be true. If there is open water to be found, I am there...and I'll find the fish.
Favorite Fish to Catch
Steelhead
Favorite Type of Fishing
open face reels and spinning rods
Water Type
Freshwater
Favorite Lures
Rooster tails, Mepps spinners, and various crankbaits
Fishing Rods
Wisconsin-made St. Croix rods, various lengths and styles.
Fishing Reels
Shimano - the Japanese-made versions of reels that you cannot buy in the U.S.A. (Ebay); slowly transitioning to Daiwa.
Fishing Techniques
throwing crank baits and plastics on ledges and drop-offs, popping top water lures and hollow-belly frogs near lily pads and grass beds and throwing spinner baits along windswept shorelines.
Favorite Fishing Spot
Lake Massasecum

"Happy" 4th of July
Map it

Rather cool, especially when the sun wasn't on us and that's why, I think the fish were active this morning however, I missed more fish than what was brought to the boat.

This was caught by my wife (who didn't want a pic holding her prize - biggest she ever caught) - 4 lb. 6 oz. Notice a good part of its tail is missing

Ya ever have a day like this?
Map it

Saturday - on the water by 6:00am and the top water action stayed hot till around 8:00 - switched to lipless cranks and rooster tails to finish-out the morning.

Sunday - bummer, and hot with no wind and biting flies. Lots of floating weeds in the water - surface water temp pushing 80.

First 2018 trip
Map it

June has been slow for me - hot and fast morning bites and then...the wind and struggles. No big bass except the one posted which had a very small pickerel head sticking-out of its stomach.
