I just want to clear this up. Someone asked if I was a sconi because I posted several time wondering about lake condition in the Devils lake area. Well I am NOT! I just live a couple hours away and don't know anyone in the area which makes it tough to find out anything. Good bait shop reports are rather rare.
But, prepare to have your mind blown because I have actually gone to Wisconsin, the homeland of the fabled Sconi and caught their fish!:;:muahahaI have a close relative that in a moment of insanity moved to southern Wisconsin. While visiting him I caught my first brook trout. They may be small but they fight well and are a beautiful fish. I also caught my first sturgeon, a shovelnose; which I was very pumped about. I also tried for my first gar but couldn't get one to bite though they were surfacing all around the area. Wasn't great fishing by anymeans but it was fun and I figured a tiny bit of justice. I hope to go back this summer and try for some more brookies, rainbows, and bass. They also have some good bowfishing at night on the Mississippi that sound like fun.
