Castle Rock Lake

Fished 3 days this week with, Steve,mike and Tim.  Tim  just built a new home on the west side of Castle Rock the Buckhorn area.

Water temperature has been in the mid to upper 70’s  lake is starting to get a little green in some areas, all depends on which way the wind direction is on that day.
First day we spent a bunch of time jigging the river. 1/4 oz Draggn’ jig tipped with half crawler or jumbo leech. Pitched tight to wood structure in 8-12 fow.

Second morning we fish for Muskie! Tim lost a good one on top water, mike had a couple good boat side strikes on bucktails.

3rd and final morning guys wanted to learn how to troll out on the lake. We trolled cranks and boards on west side buckhorn side or also known as the yellow river side first couple hours mid morning, we jumped over to the Wisconsin Riverside. All our fish came in 10-15 fow! Bite was good on both sides, speed was key 2-2.2 worked best, no real specific color worked. Couple different times we would come over a pod of fish and have 4-5 fish on at a time.

Anyone looking to book a trip, I have June-29th
July-1st,3rd,4th,5th,6th,8th,9th still available.

Good luck be safe!

Let’s go fishing

Made it out a couple times this week, had a great time on Wed as well as today.  Lots of shorts, a few keepers, my kid got a nice slot at 25 inches, a few toothy critters and just about every other species in the lake.  Now I have my 2nd WI muskie in 50 years of fishing. Everything went back to swim another day, spending time away from obvious structure has been key for me this month.  

Went out on the Castle Rock for a half day trip with 2 great guys. We trolled flickershads in 5' to 14' of water, water temp was 75 degrees. Ended up with 5 keepers a couple crappies a perch a gill that my guys kept for a fish fry. We also got cats a bunch of shorts whitebass a Rock bass and a pike just about everything that swims. 
If anyone is looking to get out call or text me. 
Have fun be safe!

Over and out...

fished yesterday from 6 am till 1 pm with a group out guys from Ohio 

Water temperature in the early morning was 65.5 and around 73 when we headed back to the launch.

Guy’s want to musky & pike fish. I took 2 guy’s in my boat and mike took 2 guy’s in his. We casted many different areas up shallow and deep. Each boat boated a pike, saw couple smaller muskies and lost a couple at boat side. 

Anyone looking to get out on the water, I have June 14th,15th,18th available.

Good luck be safe

No rocks boulders no weed... just random stumps.. unless you have top notch electronics to find them good luck.. it is a tuff body of water to fish...plus it's a party lake boat traffic is horrible how.. trolling is your best bet and be off by 10am ramps get very crazy... forget 2 rock piles in the narrows and rock shoreline by the buckhorn bridge and the south east side of the lake..

I've spent several hours idling around this lake. But being as big as it is I am taking the long shot that someone will be willing to help. Looking for areas that are rocky or isolated rock/boulders. I've been breaking it down in sections but it's a lot of water to cover. 
Thank you

Had a long time customer Ken out today for a half day trip. We started out pulling flies hit 4 spots had 1 keeper but live bait wasn't the ticket today. Tossed the boards in and trolled. We got 3 more keepers a bunch of shorts a few perch and a few crappies 1 cat 1 pike. Flicker shads were best today. Had 69 degree water temp most are fish came in 8 to12 foot of water. Still openings if anyone wants to go call or text. Have fun be safe!

Nice day on the lake today!  Pleasure boaters were suprisingly aware of their surroundings and respectful in the area I was fishing.  They provided just enough bobber action to catch a few keepers (and shorts as well as snot rockets).  I caught fish on every presentation/location I tried, 3-16 FOW.  

Had a half trip this morning. Pulled flickershads and salmos in 4' to 10' foot of water. Had some keepersa few crappies and a few perch got 1 pike and 3 big cats and a pile of short walleyes. Water tenp was 65 Degrees started at 7AM fish bite right away couldn't get 6 boards in good problem to have. ?
