 | The bite looks to be shaping up pretty good around this part of the Wisconsin River. Funny how a little warmer weather can change the attitude of the fish.
 Looking like it's going to be yet another good year on Lake Wisconsin.

 | I never caught one, but those look to be some dandy Sauger. Is there a slot limit on this lake? Looks like some of the bigger fish didn't make the game pole. But those smaller ones are the fillet mignon I love to keep and eat as well.

 | Looks like some great fishing. I love fishing Saugers, but rarely get the chance. |  |

 | Yes there is a slot limit on Lake Wisconsin. It's a huge reason why we have such good fishing here for walleyes & saugers of all sizes. Fish shorter than 15" have to be released.
 You can keep 5 fish a day between 15-20" long.
 20-28" long fish must be released.
 You may keep 1 fish per day 28" long or greater.
 The regs for saugers are exactly the same and you can only keep 5 fish total.
 It doesn't matter how many are saugers or walleyes but if you catch & keep a trophy, it must be counted as one of you 5 for the day.
 
 The one weird thing about these regs is that there is no provision for keeping a trophy sauger. No ones ever caught one over 28" long but many have been caught up to 23" long with a few reaching 24" or bigger.
 
 A few more pics from Memorial Day weekend.

 | Robert, 
 It's been great!
 Really, really love this boat so far.
 Still, need to get her on some bigger water to really give her a good test though.
 
 If your still interested in taking a ride some day, just let me know when you might be available. Weekends are not a good time for me.
