    Caught from the shore near the Yahara River inlet. Water level has dropped over the last few weeks.

    Overall it was a tough outing, but some areas of grass held some fish. We caught them frogging and punching grass, but the best bait was a swim jig around the docks in the morning. The wind was blowing pretty hard during the outing, and I got most of my bites in the dirty, windblown water around dock posts.

    I had a tournament out on the Madison Chain of lakes on October 8th. We spent most of our time on menona since the lock to Mendota was out of service. The bite was really tough for us, and could not find fish off shore so resorted to fishing shallow. We found our best luck throwing buzz Baits and chatter baits over submitted vegetation and had some luck doing that. Our best bite came from a dying Lilly pad patch the we fished throwing buzz baits and we had a handful of nice blowups and caught some good fish doing that.
