What are some of the best times and places to go fishing in Southern Wisconsin?
Like for large and small mouth bass, walleye, northern, and so on
Walleye are best in the spring before the weather gets hot, look for them in shallow water (less then 10 to 12 ft). Northern again look in shallow bays in the spring and fall or early in the am near the surface casting spoons and such at that time they more topwater feed.

Fishing question about small mouth bass!!?
Me and my best bud are goin fishing in a local river tommorow. My dad says there’s lots of small mouth bass there. I got all the fishing supplies a guy could ever want. What do I need to catch some small mouth? What areas should we focus on to find them? And any other tips and tricks to finding and landing these little guys?
I live in PA and this time of year, the smallies are getting into prespawn mode. Look for areas with rocky gravel bottoms. The reason being that these fish will be trying to feast to get ready for the rigors of the spawn and rocky areas are where you will find the crawfish that the smallies will be targeting. Also, large boulders that create current breaks are good to fish, as the fish use these as ambush points for prey. Since crawfish are the main item on their menu…crawfish-style crankbaits, tubes, hair jigs, and jig and pigs will work well. Use earthy tones like browns and greens, as well as colors to imitate crawfish. Smallies will also take suspending minnow jerkbaits. Smithwick rogues, Lucky Craft pointers, rapala husky jerks, and rapala x-raps are all good choices as the fish will be lethargic and want an easy meal that sits in the strike zone, so that means your retrieves should be slow. Finally, if in the less than likely chance that the smallies are busting the surface, throw on a topwater…zara spooks and rapala skitter pops are highly acclaimed for this application. Sorry for being so long-winded. Hope this helps. Tight lines!

i need help on fishing salt water, soft plastic jerk shad, and crank baits of the CA. jetties any tips?
i have been fishing,4-6″ sardine color / mackerel color crank baits no bites, and been fishing new penny/ green color soft plastics no bites! dont understand. I am trying to stop using live bait and get pro at lures! any suggestions or techniques for shore/ jetty fishing with lures??
add some sardine or anchovies smelly jelly to the baits . the crank bait is best trolled so it every once in a while bumps the bottom and everything will hit it, all three bass halibut white sea bass even cabazons and barracudas. but the crankbait I use to the death is the deep diving bomber long a silver mylar black back orange belly. Shad Raps in the shad colors work as well I think the problem is the jetties are all pretty well fished and the fish see all the baits being fished from boats and as they dive parallel to the jetties underwater rock pile shape the fish come out of their holes and try and pick of the food they think they are (same with plastics) but if you are fishing from on top the jetty you will catch 1/10th what the anglers in the boats pull in, go to double A lures AA Lures in San Diego County and they have plastics that will coax even the grumps out of the holes. I know a few guys who walk the outside jetty at night without reels dropping shrimp look alike plastics with shrimp scent on em on a hook tied to a pool cue and raise giants out of holes all night. I also would fish on the bottom on the shadowed side of the jetty because that’s where the halibut will be.

Tips for Fishing a Fast Moving River in mid August???
going to the Delaware river where they have Catfish, small/large mouths, sunnies, Carp, Rainbow/brook/brown trout, and pleanty of other species…need some help ANYTHING!!! I’ve never fished a large river if you have I’d appreciate any advice!
In Colorado for trout I always like rock hopping until you see the ultimate hole and then cast into it, I wouldn’t fish a single whole to many times the key is to keep moving. Also use 1/2oz or 1 oz Rooster tails. Yellow, white, and brown ,ought to cover most conditions.
