Lake Wisconsin

[LamiMan]

So I am heading to Lake Wisconsin for a tourney this weekend. Never have fished there before and was wondering if anyone had any tips. Will the bass be holding in deeper water? Is there a lot of man made structure that holds fish? I can see on Google that there are a lot of docks. How important is current in this lake?

Looking at the weather channel, it looks like isolated storms tomorrow followed by sunny days in the low 80's and then isolated t-storms on Sat. Tourney starts at 6am, but with pre-front conditions, maybe shallow waters will be productive with active bass?

I am not looking for any specific secret spots, just trying to get a few high percentage patterns that I can focus on and not waste any time. Any tips, advice, and help on presentations and depths would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Fished the grade on saturday afternoon. Lots of tip up fisherman out there and lots os guys running for flags. Not many fish under the flags. Did see a few little norhtern pulled out and released. We fished for a couple hours and the only thing we got was cold. Did see a few little gills caught.

The fall bite is picking up...... Fished Saturday and caught a lot of undersized eyes and saugers along with a couple of keeper saugers and a couple of sheepies and white bass. From what I saw fish were caught a number of ways including blade baits, jig and minnow, jig and plastic, and trolling. Fish came any where from 15' down to 30'. Needless to say the trestle area was packed.

Anyone got an idea of the water temps right now? I am finally getting out on saturday to look for some prespawn green carp. Gotta try and find a pattern over the next two weekends before the spring fling on the 25th.

Thanks for the update salty. Looks like it's gonna be a couple more weeks for me with those kind of temps.

Temps in the narrows last Saturday were 41-43 Deg. Below the Sauk Dam they were 37-38. The lake was open as far south as Breezy point but not at all out of current. We have a place across from Tipperary so we just go out from there, so I dont know what launches are open yet. There were a good number of boats thogh so they were gettin' on somewhere. Not much action for me though, just 1 legal female that I put back and two short saugers. All caught on B-Fishin Paddle Tails. - Salty

Anybody know the water temps and if the whole lake is open? I'm looking to get out seaching for the first Bass of the year. Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.
