    Kentuck Lake - The fishing is great!

    Kentuck Lake

    My favorite lake on this entire sphere!. Kentuck Lake is approximately a 950 acre lake located in…read moreboth Vilas County & Forest counties. It has a maximum depth of 40 feet. Visitors have access to the lake from 2 public boat landings. Fish include Musky, Perch, Blue Gill, Crappie, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass & Walleye. The lake's water clarity is low. The lake is completely surrounded by beautiful tree covered rolling hills. Most of the shore is rocky & steep. But, a few areas have shallow & sandy beaches. The lake has some of the best fishing in Wisconsin. The lake holds a lot of natural structure. The DNR sank a line of log cribs to enhance fish habitats. The entire lake produces great fishing. I've landed 2 Musky's in a day on the lake. I've also have landed Walleye as big as 26 inches & Small Mouth Bass as long as 20" weighing 5 pounds plus. Walleye's are my only keepers, everything else I throw back. Fishing regulations are posted at each boat ramp landing, please read & adhere to these rules. Keep this awesome fishery strong. The lake is surrounded by approximately 50 lake houses, the majority are only occupied a few times a year. Traffic on the lake is slow, usually a handful of fishing boats most weekends. I've had it all to myself at times during the week. Our family lake house has been on Kentuck lake for the past 18 years. In all that time I've only seen about a dozen boats towing water skiers. We are predominately a nice & quiet fishing lake. Typical noises that can be heard are wind, water & the abundance of Bald Eagles soaring overhead. Just the way I like it!! You can get me out of the woods. But, you can't get the woods out of me!

    This review is long overdue. Several years ago, we visited Boulder Junction and during our visit we…read morescheduled a guided fishing trip with Bob. We met Bob at the appointed time (early morning!) at the boat launch. I helped him launch his fishing boat into the lake and we were off. Bob is a very friendly older guy whose background was in sales, I believe. Now in retirement,he runs these fishing trips and is also involved with local government and administration. His boat is great and had everything we needed for a successful experience: poles, bait, a sonar fish finder and an aerated fish keeper for our catches. I wanted to hire a guide because I like fishing but I usually suck at it, so except for a few times it's been disappointing. Not this time. Bob knew the areas of the lakes we were on that usually had fish and put his finder to use. We caught some smaller stuff that we had to throw back. Eventually I managed to land a really nice Northern Pike and later in the day he took us to an area full of pan fish (bluegills, pumpkinseeds, etc) and we pulled in a whole bunch of them as there's no limits on them. After we were done he followed us back to our cabin and cleaned and filleted the fish for us (I knew how to do the smaller fish but would have made a mess of the pike, it's totally different). He recommended Gooch's as a place to get great fried chicken and was on his way. We did eat at Gooch's a couple days later and it was good, but we ate most of the fish over the next couple days and I've never had such delicious fish. Fresh picked is a thing for fruit and vegetables and fresh caught is a thing for fish! Anyway, if you're in the area and want a great time fishing with an experienced guide, you can't go wrong with Bob.
