Smokeys weekly fishing report by Captains Klaus and Ruffolo 8/26/24

Good walleye fishing existed over the last 7-10 days, as consistent winds and weather pushed bait and
current, creating a great bite.
College reef, east side rocks of University Bay, Vincent Point, Volks reef, Bayshore, Barrett Point,
Macco’s reef, and Geanos’s reef all were producing good catches of Walleye. Also areas to the north
like Larsons Reef, Young’s reef, Oconto Shoal were are all putting out good catches of walleyes. Pick your
favorite technique, apply it to any of these areas and it’s likely you’ll be into fish. When the bite slows,
slow down with it by using slip bobbers or pulling slow death.
Perch fishing was good in and around the rocky bottom areas off Dykesville, with many limit catches
observed. Minnows, crawler pieces, and hellgrammites are taking these fish. The Oconto shoal was
another hot perch area. Some days slip bobbers are best while other days three-way rigs with double
drop spreader rigs are better.
Musky action has really picked up, with both trolling and casting techniques working for these large
predators. Bucktails, large plastics like shallow invaders and Medusas, and large crankbaits like Super
Shads are taking fish.
If you go, please be safe, and take a kid fishing
