Madison WI Fishing Reports

Madison Chain
Smallmouth Bass: has been good they are post spawn and located in or along weeds with scattered rocky areas on mid lake bars and points. Exceptional fish are being caught and released as smallmouth bass are putting on the feed bag.. It’s been a great time for big fish.
Largemouth Bass: Good-Very good many bedding largemouth on plastic worms or live bait.
Walleye: Good weed lines are still key, sandy to rocky transition areas were also holding fish. Night crawlers and leeches are providing the best action while pitching jigs or under a slip bobber.
Bluegill: Good to very good they are spawning or have spawned. 1' gulp fry minnow, small leeches and worms have been my baits of choice under a rocket bobber.
