Art Green didn't care if we had to bust a little ice in order to get in one last sauger fishing trip on Lake Wisconsin. The ice was definitely a little thicker on the way up to the rail road bridge this morning but in the end, that just makes the day of fishing seem like an even better adventure!
We were once again forced to fish the only open water available when we first arrived but just like yesterday, more water opened up as the day wore on.
Art and I used paddletails tipped with minnows again but the with the wind slightly stronger than yesterday, there were times when we couldn't fish where we wanted to. Some crushed ice flows moved in and pushed us elsewhere. Still, considering the conditions, we had ourselves a pretty good day with twelve saugers and one northern pike. Four saugers were over 20", five were legals and the rest were shorties.
We did have to be a little creative at times when dealing with ice, but in the end, we worked it out pretty good.
