Hi Chris,
This is Ted - the guy across the bar at Wet Wendy's. I saw your trip advisor message, and thought I would pick up the conversation over here.
The overall best spearing in Wisconsin is done when the water temp is 50-70F. May1-June30 is the golden time of year when highly bioproductive mesotrophic lakes [read Madison Lakes] are clear. Clear-water lakes to the north and east are spearable all year, but never yield the panfish numbers/size that we see in the big lakes.
When things "green" up in Madison (usually in late June), we head to clearer waters.
