Fishing Report for March 27th, 2012

The fishing on the Fox River has slowed down over the past few days. I believe the fish are in the full swing of spawing and not as interested in bitting right now. The river is still full of fish and we have been catching many females still with eggs in them. Over the next week or so the bite should really kick into high gear as these fish finish spawning and head back to the bay.

Fishing Report for February 3rd, 2012

It looks like our unseasonably warm ice fishing season might be soon coming to and end. The Fox river in Green Bay is nearly open and the walleye run should be starting shortly.

Fishing Report for September 10th, 2011

As the season changes from summer to fall the bite is in a bit of a transition period. The bite on both Lake Winnebago and Green Bay has been very sporadic. Some days have provided excellent opportunities to pull in great catches and others have been a bit tougher.

One thing is for sure there have been some really nice walleyes being caught out on Green Bay. We have been locating these fish in 25-35 fow and presenting flicker shad crank baits behind lead core line.

As we move into fall look for the action to really pick up on both the Fox and Wolf Rivers as well as the Bay of Green Bay.

Fishing Report for July, 17 2011

Fishing on the Bay of Green Bay this week has been awesome. Great numbers of fish have been caught as well as good size. For good numbers of eater size fish we have been working rock piles in the 10-14' range with Flicker Shad crank baits. The hot colors have been purple tiger and purple chartreuse. We have been getting some of the bigger fish trolling crawler harnesses out on the deeper flats in around 20-25fow. Lately the fish have been hitting a wide variety of blade colors but green and purple have been favorites.

Fishing Report for July, 5th 2011

The fishing out on Lake Winnebago and the Bay of Green Bay has been very hot over the last couple weeks. On the Bay we have been getting easy limits trolling cranks around rock piles in 10-12 fow. Hot cranks have been flicker shads in the #6 and #7 size. The hot color varied from day to day but white was a consistant producer.

The bite on Winnebago has also been hot. Both the rock piles in the mud flats have been producing fish. Casting the rock piles with a 1/8 ounce jig and crawler has been taking a lot of fish. Trolling larger flicker shads out on the mud has been productive as well. Most of the fish on the mud flats seem to be around 10 feet down in the water column.

Fishing Report for June 17th 2011

The fishing out on Lake Winnebago has had its ups and downs over the past couple weeks. The fishing has been very hot some days and very slow others. The bite has been most dependent on the weather, the water has been fairly clear so on calm sunny days the bite has been very tough. On days with clouds or wave action the bite has been fairly productive casting 1/8 ounce jigs tipped with crawlers up onto the various west side rock piles.

The Bay of Green Bay as been very hot over the past few weeks. Numbers have been great with a few decent fish thrown in. We have been catching these fish either trolling shallow sand/mud areas in around 5 fow or trolling over various rock piles. We have been trolling with either crawler harnesses or flicker shads and both have worked well depending on the day.

Fishing Report for May 19th, 2011

The fishing on Green Bay and the Winnebago system has been very up and down the past couple of weeks depending upon the weather. Some days the bite has been very good and others it has been tougher.

On the Winnebago system Lake Poygan and Lake Winneconne have been the hotspots. Trolling #5 flicker shads and #5 shad raps around 30 feet behind planer boards has been productive for walleye and white bass.

On Green Bay the walleyes have been biting on crawler harnesses behind bottom bouncers at a variety of depths. The key to catching fish seems to be finding clear water as much of the Bay is murky right now.

The White Bass bite up on the Wolf River has also been going very strong. We have been getting huge numbers targeting current break areas. The fish have been biting on either Flicker Shads casted into shallow water or 1/8 orange jigs tipped with a power bait minnow.
