About Lake Monona
Lake Monona, in Wisconsin, United States, is the kind of lake where a careful approach pays off. Shore anglers do well casting parallel to the bank along reed lines and overhanging trees, where ambush predators wait. Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Lake Monona usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.

- For Northern pike
Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
- For Bluegill
Fish near structure like docks, weeds, or submerged trees where bluegill seek cover and food.
