Okauchee Fishing Club

10/15/2026

Earlier this month we had our annual trip to the Mississippi River. In all we had 19 members hitting the water which many shared enough information to help others get on some fish. Then it was simply up to you to catch them!

Here are a few memorable events
Woody got an unexpected visitor in his boat
3 scoops of minnows means something completely different between bait shops
Got to hear what my boat alarm sounds like

There were quality gills and crappies caught throughout the weekend that simply didn’t get their picture taken.

Looking forward to next year.

Want to join a fishing club? Come see what we are all about. Meetings are first and third Tuesday of each month 6pm located at the New Berlin VFW.

On the weekend of June 12th we had our Sturgeon Bay outing with dreams of unlimited Smallies. Mother Nature said otherwise with sustained strong SW winds but everyone put forth a great effort. If we weren’t fishing it was good food, drinks and stories among members, spouses and new friends.

That’s right, not everyone has to be a member to fish with us-bring your significant other or a friend for a great weekend getaway that can share stories we can all relate to.

Hope to see you at an upcoming meeting held at the New Berlin VFW 6pm on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month.

On May 30th we had an outing on Fox Lake. New faces mean new stories. Some good some not so much…but we are always learning.
1. Sometimes you don’t have to travel to the other side of the lake to catch fish.
2. Know what your buoy markers are from afar.
3. Don’t leave fish to find fish.
4. Personal bests are the BEST memories.
And many other stories.

Care to hear about them or wish to (Join our club) and create your own memories at a future event?

Come join us (Bring a friend or make new ones) at the New Berlin VFW. 6pm 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month.

The weekend of May 15 brought the club our Menomonee,Oconto,Peshtigo,Suamico (MOPS) outing. We were welcomed with sustained winds, cool and hot weather. Wouldn’t have it any other way! Fishing was tough for some but members sharing where the bite was happening during our nighty wrap up gave everyone the opportunity to change tactics.

It was great to see new members and old faces sharing stories and laughter.

Interested in seeing what we are about? Come to one of our 6pm meetings on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month located at the New Berlin VFW 17980 w Beloit Ave.

On April 25th 17 members got together for our annual Okauchee Lake launch clean up. This location is one of the few in Waukesha County that remains free to launch your boat in part due to these volunteers. If we see garbage throughout the year we pick it up.

If you want to see what we are all about come to a meeting on the first and third Tuesday of each month at the New Berlin VFW 17980 W Beloit road. Meeting starts at 6pm.

On April 18th 21 club members volunteered at Brown Deer park for the annual Spring kids fishing clinic. 96 Kids participated in a seminar learning about the different aspects of fishing including baits, safety, species and many other topics followed by fish towel painting, casting, minnow races, how a fish is prepared to eat, tasting and of course fishing.

A special thanks to the following.
Kwik Trip for snacks, drinks and hot dogs.
Mills Fleet Farm for supplies and prizes.
Wisconsin Council of Sport Organizations for activities.
