John & Cody Rod joined Brian Ott for a late fall walleye/sauger fishing excursion on Lake Wisconsin. This may have been the last nice weather day of the year. The fishing was a little slow in the morning but it picked up nicely in the afternoon.
We caught fish on blade baits, jig/plastic combo's and jigs tipped with minnows. The jigs tipped with minnows was probably our best overall bait.
Colors were all over the place. We caught at least one fish on several different colors but white or jig/plastic combo's with some white in them were probably our best overall.
We ended the day with a total of eighteen saugers and zero walleyes. Three were over 20" long, eleven others were in the keeper slot size and the other four were shorties.
The sun peeked out a little from time to time, but clouds covered the skies for the majority of the day. Temperatures did climb into the upper 40's and that felt pretty darn good.
Nice weather, good people and fishin from a boat on Lake Wisconsin for fall walleyes and saugers. It don't get any better than that!
