I grew up in WI and fished across the north growing up.  Never for bass, however.  I didn't 'convert' until I got to VA.  

     In a couple weeks, we're going to spend a few days in a cabin on the southwest shore of Shishebogama, which I've never fished before.  From everything I can tell, it is a good looking lake.  I'm pretty excited, as I haven't fished in WI in over 30 years....I don't know what to target first...lol.  Anyone here on BR spend any time on this water this year or in recent years?

Quick report for archival purposes.....

 

From WI DNR site:

"Shishebogama Lake is a 700 acre lake located in Vilas County. It has a maximum depth of 42 feet. Visitors have access to the lake from public boat landings. Fish include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye. The lake's water is moderately clear."

 

Stayed on the lake for four days last week with the family.  LOTS of 1-2# LMB at the edges of visible weeds - throughout most of the lake.  Nothing over 2 caught at any depth.  3 good smallies (~1.5#) - all shallow; all in bullrushes.  Only saw one walleye all week, but it was a good one; my wife caught a 23 incher the first day out.  Had one musky follow to the boat, but wouldn't bite - I estimate it was between 24" and 30". 

 

Areas around the island were most consistent - we could return there anytime and count on bunch of bass -- incidentally, the NE side of the island is where both the walleye and the musky were. 

 

LMB's mostly on junebug Cut-R's and black/blue jigs.  Fun with frogs deep sent into the weeds from two hours before sunset.  Funny, even 1# LMB's would hit big jigs -- here in VA, if I throw a large jig, I never catch anything less than 2.   My folks had my son bobbering with worms and he was loving it....once I got him alone and gave him a senko to launch, it was all over....there's another bass fisherman in the family.
