My wife lost her job in 02' and we both found jobs in MI. I have not fished Stoddard since 04', but we used to do quite well on LM, SM and some monster pike. When I am back in WI these days I fish northern lakes west of Park Falls near my wife's parents place. Some decent smallmouth, but most people fish for musky up that away! Have you fished Lake Owen? Not bad  

Nope..without a drivers license (not yet) and parents who don't travel much, It's been pretty hard for me to get some reps in on other bodys of water. I've fished the river and that's about it. I put in quite a few hours on Lake Nagawicka over by Milwaukee but only because that is where the state tournament was.  I wouldn't recomend that lake to an enemy..I'm sure it can be good but wow, 1 fish for 3.13 won the tournament, I had 4th with a 1.52. There are some big smallies in there but they seem tight lipped. I missed a toad on a grassline that would have won me the tournament.

I get my license in January, and I'll be traveling a lot more. I'll have to keep that lake in mind, thanks.
