Lake Wisconsin
8-22-08 Saturday morning
Tony & Victor Abbate went out with me this past Saturday morning to see if the crappies were biting. They ended up doing pretty good.
Minnows were the best bait of the day for us this morning and the best depth was 10 to 15' deep.
This was 10 year old Victor Abbate first ever crappie fishing adventure and he ended up catching the biggest crappie of the morning. It measured up at 13-1/2" long.
Altogether, Victor and his dad Tony caught over 20 crappies along with a mix of bluegills, perch, sheepshead and whitebass.
All in all, it was a pretty good morning.
Great fishing with you two guys Tony & Victor!

Bio: Hi, my name is Joel "Boog" Ballweg and I run professionally guided fishing trips primarily on Lake Wisconsin. I am a life long resident of this area and grew up fishing Lake Wisconsin and the Wisconsin river. Ballweg's Guide Service was started in 2003 and has grown every year since. Lake Wisconsin offers excellent fishing for walleye, sauger, crappie, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, bluegills and white bass. We target walleye, crappie, bluegill and white bass. On average, I will spend between 75-100 days fishing on Lake Wisconsin and the Wisconsin river each year. Lake Wisconsin covers approximately 9000 surface acres and it is the furthest down stream reservoir on the Wisconsin River system. It is located about 30 miles north of Madison, Wisconsin. A strong network of local anglers and several other local fishing guides is an added benefit of growing up in this area. These guys know whats going on out on the water and sharing information helps all of us stay on top of the latest action. In addition, if you have a large group of anglers, we can arrange with the other local guides to accomadate you.
