Green Bay walleye activity continues to show its moody side from day to day. Anglers paying attention
to their electronics will see bait fish in most areas around reefs and in the mud off structure from
University Bay up to Door County. This is the biggest reason the fish do not always want to cooperate.
If weather allows be a versatile angler and be able to move around to various spots to locate active
Walleye. This weeks windy forecast will certainly shake things up a bit.
Trolling crank baits around the rocky reef tops of Volks, Vincent and Geanos has proven productive at
time this last week. Anglers running #7 Flicker Minnows or Flicker Shads have both been finding some
active Walleye at times. Most anglers reporting depts of 8-12’ of water being the most productive.
Also, anglers trolling crawler harnesses or crank baits like #7 Flicker Minnows along the shorelines from
Chaudior’s Dock up to Little Sturgeon have reported good success at times this last week. Not many
reports of anglers having success in the mud off Geanos to Pensaukee this last week.
Walleye chasers in search of a trophy are still reporting having success with search baits or Shiver
Minnows up around the Door County islands and northern reefs.
Perch fishing continues to be outstanding most days. Anglers fishing the area around Dykesville and
Vincent point have all reported good catches even some days with fast limits of nice 9” to 12” fish.
Many Perch chasers have also had very good success around Geanos reef in the last week. Minnows
and crawler pieces have dominated the caches. Drop shots and dead sticking perch rigs have been the
best presentation. Do not forget your slip bobbers as those have also been productive with a tail
hooked minnow near the bottom.
More Musky anglers continue to fish areas with weeds around Geanos, Pensaukee, Oconto and
University Bay. If you are looking to get away from the boats do not overlook the areas along the East
shore from Chaudior’s down to Dykesville. Bucktails and large plastics have been both reported as
producing some activity. A couple anglers I spoke with have had some relative success with glide baits
also.

Even though this seems like a common theme this summer on Green Bay the Walleye bite continues to
show how fickle it can be from day to day. With lots of bait schools around and Perch seemingly all over
the system the Walleye can be a bit moody for lack of a better term from day to day.
The mud bite off Pensaukee down to Geanos has been one day on the next off. Trollers using harness
with in-line weights seem to be still reporting the best overall action. Colorado blades in Antifreeze or
purple colors have been doing the best. Reports from anglers casting or trolling around Geanos reef
have been similar from day to day. #7 Flicker Minnows have been good on days and casting shiver
minnows have been good at times. East shore areas like Macco’s reef, Chaudoir’s Dock and Sugar Creek
have all had days where trolling harnesses or Crank Baits have produced some good catches of both
eater and bigger Walleye. The Lason’s reef area has also produced decent catches of Walleyes both
casting and trolling at times just like most areas the fish have been moody on some days. Anglers
looking to chase trophy Walleye have been reporting having success up in northern Door County around
the islands and reefs. Most anglers chasing those big Walleye are having the best luck using search baits
with Crawlers or Jig and Crawler presentations.
Perch fishing continues to be outstanding most days. Geanos reef, around the reef and the weeds have
been good. Macco’s reef and Chaudoir’s dock area have been very consistent. Also, Sugar Creek and
Oconto Shaol are starting to show consistent catches of Perch again. Minnows and crawler pieces have
dominated the caches. Drop shots and dead sticking perch rigs have been the best presentation.
More Musky anglers have ben starting to venture out in search of action. Areas with weeds around
Geanos, Pensaukee Oconto and University Bay have all been targets areas. Bucktails and large plastics
have been both reported as producing some activity.

Green Bay walleye fishing over the last 7-10 days is still best described as inconsistent, with some great days and tough days too. The mud bite keeps showing potential, and then shows how tough it can be too. Trolled inline weights with crawler harnesses and trolled crankbaits are both putting out walleyes. University bay, Vokes reef, Vincent point, 2 mile reef, Geanos reef, Maccos reef, Pensaukee shoal, Oconto shoal, Young’s reef and Larsons reef all put out walleyes for us last week, with no particular structure outdoing the other. Perch fish remains good, with many 8-10” perch, along with good numbers of 11-13” perch showing up in anglers bags. Oconto shoal, Geanos reef, Bayshore near Dykesville, Vincent point and Vokes reef all had good populations of perch, with minnows and crawler pieces leading the way as best baits. To the north, big walleyes are on a good bite, with the rock structures of Door county waters leading the way. Pitching labby lures, shivers, spoons or trolled cranks/harnesses were the best lure/bait options. Musky action has heated up, with big fish hunters finding good action on large plastics and Bucktails casted around Pensaukee shoal, Charles pond, and the rock/weed areas off Chaudoirs. Smallmouth bass anglers are finding good fish in deep rock areas around Larsons reef, with drop shot rigs, Ned rigs, and jerk baits taking fish. If you go, please be safe, and take a kid fishing!

Well Green Bay Walleye fishing continues to be a grind some days and others they cooperate. Anglers
willing to and able to jump around to spots and prepared to switch tactics have been rewarded with
some decent catches. The Mud bite has many anglers scratching their heads as some days trolling
harnesses has produced some OK fishing and other days nothing but Sheephead. Anglers casting death
jigs or jigs and crawlers in the mud using Live Sonar have had some success but be prepared to cast at
10-15 targets before getting one to respond. Reports many days are that the Walleye have tended near
the bottom of the water column and the higher marks are mostly Sheephead.
Folks choosing to cast or troll structure like Vincent, Volks and Geano’s reefs have had some success at
times and most days the first several hours of the day and the last have been the best. Trolling
harnesses or cranks like #7 Flicker Minnows have worked most days.
Reports from Oconto Shoal and Larson’s Reef are that Walleye up in those areas are starting to
cooperate a bit more. Casting Shiver Minnows in the hammered gold patterns have been good and
trolling Harnesses with gold blades have been reported to be the best tactics.
Perch fishing continues to be outstanding most days. Remember to use your electronics to locate
schools along the bottom before you just anchor up to fish. This can be the difference in catching 15 or

5. Reports are better fishing around Macco’s reef and Chaudoir’s dock area. Also, Sugar Creek and
   Oconto Shaol are starting to show consistent catches of Perch again. Both the weeds outside of Geano’s
   reef and the areas around the shallow tops of the reef have been producing good catches at times.
   Crawler pieces have dominated the caches with the warm water, but do not leave your minnows behind
   as they have also done some damage catching the better sized fish. Drop shots and dead sticking perch
   rigs have been the best presentation.

Walleye anglers seemingly must be prepared to work for their fish these days. Areas along the east sore
like Vincent Reef, Volks Reef, 2 Mile Reef, Maccos Reef all have been productive at times, but you may
have to be prepared to jump around a bit to see which spot has active fish. Jigging has been a bit better
over trolling. Shiver minnows and jig and crawler combos have been the best along with Death Jigs.
West shore areas like Geanos reef have also had a few walleyes around them at times and both trolling

7 Flicker Minnows and casting shiver minnows have been productive when the fish decide to eat. Mud

trollers have been reporting a slight uptick in Walleye action at times. 22’ to 26’ having been the best
lately. Anglers trolling crawler harnesses have reported better action over the Crank Bait trollers. Don’t
overlook areas around the lower Bay like the rocks in University Bay and Dead Horse Bay as there have
been some hungry Walleye showing up in those areas. Try Trolling #7 Flicker Minnows for some success
around there.
Perch fishing still is the talk of the Bay right now. Anglers working 22’-26’ of water out of Dykesville,
Macco’s and Chaudior’s dock are reporting good catches most days. Minnows continue to be the
dominate bait by anglers either on a slip bobber or a drop shot rig. Dead sticking a perch rig has also
worked well. Do not overlook some of the shallow rock areas around Volks and Vincent as some
Walleye anglers have reported finding quite a few incidental Perch around the reefs.

Walleye action slowed a bit after the Wednesday and Thursday cold front last week, but the weekend
anglers did report some good success in areas once the water began to warm up a bit again. Mud
trollers in 26’-30’ of water from Geanos to Pensaukee are reporting getting some action but not great.
Use your electronics to find the schools of fish before setting up lines. Anglers running crawler
harnesses are reporting better action vs crank bait trollers. Folks jigging around Geano’s reef are
reporting catching a few Walleyes earlier and later in the day. East shore locations like 2-mile reef Volks
reef and Vincent reef all have been holding some fish and guys jigging are doing better than trollers in
general. Casting Shiver minnows being the best technique. Anglers fishing out of the Chaudoir’s dock
area are also reporting some Walleye catches but not great. The activity up on Larsons Reef and in Door
County for Walleye is still being reported as very slow.
The Perch bite continues to show no signs of slowing down. Fishing off structures in 20’-24’ continues to
be a good starting location along with the edges of the shipping channel. Anglers working 22’-26’ of
water out of Dykesville and Chaudior’s dock are also reporting good catches most days. Use your
electronics like side imaging and Live Sonar to locate fish has been key. Minnows continue to be the
dominate bait by anglers either on a slip bobber or a drop shot rig. Dead sticking a perch rig has also
worked on calm water days.

Walleye action on Green Bay Is starting to pick up more every day. Anglers are reporting catching fish
around Geanos Reef and Pensaukee both casting baits shallow like Shiver Minnows and Jigs and
crawlers. Hair jigs and plastics have also been working. Trollers are reporting picking up fish running #7
Flicker Minnows around the edges of the structure. The mud bit has also seen an increase in action for
trolling. Both Crawler Harnesses and Crank bait trollers are reporting decent catches in the mud from
20’ out to 25’ most days. Use your electronics to locate fish that are suspended and send your baits
down above the fish. Purple and Gold blades on harnesses shave been good along with #9 Flicker
Minnows in anything with purple on it. Guys jigging arounds Vincent Reef, Volks Reef and Macco’s Reef
al report having some success with jig and crawler and hair jigs along with jigging spoons and shiver
minnows. Most of these areas are giving up a few bonus Perch to Walleye angers also.
The Perch bite continues to be great overall across the entire Bay. Fishing off structures in 20’-24’ along
with weed edges using minnows have been good. Targeting the steep sand bar edges like off little tail
are also producing good catches at times. The edges of the shipping channel are also still producing
good Perch action. Anglers working off the rock sand transition out of Dykesville to Chaudior’s dock are
also reporting good catches most days. Using electronics to locate fish has been key. Minnows seem to
be the best bait either on a slip bobber or a drop shot rig. Dead sticking a perch rig has also worked on
calm water days.

Well in one week not much has changed for Walleye catching around Green Bay. A few fish are being
caught shallow around Geanos Reef using shiver minnows and hair jigs and also a few trolling harnesses.
The “Mud” bite off of Geanos has been hit or miss with more missing than hitting. A few fish have been
caught trolling harnesses by folks that wait out the bite a bit. East shore areas like Volks and Vincent are
starting to see a few fish caught on and off by guys trolling crank baits in the morning and evening. Also
a few Walleyes have been reported by anglers throwing shiver minnows.
University Bay continues to see some catches of a few Walleyes trolling crank baits like #7 Flicker
Minnows around College Reef and in Dead Horse Bay at times but nothing that consistent.
Perch fishing continues to be the hottest action on Green Bay with continued reports of solid catches all
over. Some of the best activity has been the deeper edges of structures in 20-24’ of water like off Vin
cent and Volks reef or Dykesville area. Anglers using their electronics searching the edges of the
shipping channel near the marker buoys from the entrance light to Longtail are reporting good catches.
Also the weed edges around Geanos and Pensaukee have had good catches of nice Perch reported.
Oconto shoal and the areas of 20-24’ of water north of Oconto have all held schools of active Perch.
Minnows and crawler pieces on dropshots or dead sticking perch rigs have been productive. Slip
bobbers and casting small plastics in orange or chartreuse colors have also had their fair share of action.
Drifting or dragging minnows or crawlers, if the wind allows along schools of fish has also been
productive.
Please consider releasing all your bigger (12”-13” plus) Perch to help provide for a great fishery for the
future.

Green Bay water temperatures are fishing getting more stable and that is starting to help some better
Walleye activity show up. It is still not great but scattered reports are starting to come in of some fish
being caught around areas like Geano’s Reef and the East shore reefs like Macco’s, Volk’s, and Vincent.
Jigging has been the most productive throwing glide baits like Shiver Minnows. Some activity has also
been reported out in “The Mud” trolling harnesses and cranks. Report are that most fish have been
near the bottom and still pretty lethargic following their month-long feeding frenzy on Alewife.
University Bay has seen some catches of a few Walleyes trolling around College Reef and in Dead Horse
Bay at times but nothing that consistent.
In general, the Walleye bite still is on the slow side but if the heat continues we can expect it to get
better fairly quickly.
Perch fishing continues to be the most productive action on Green Bay right now with reports of solid
catches in many locations. Anglers around the Sturgeon Bay shipping canal are reporting good catches
along with deeper water near North-South Reef and Chaudior’s Dock. The North Bay Shore Park area of
Oconto outside the weeds along with Oconto Shoal are also producing good catches. Further south
anglers are also reporting decent catches near Vincent and Volk’s reef at times and along the rock sand
transitions off Dykesville. Also at times reports are coming of good schools out near the shipping lane
on Green Bay. Use your electronics to locate the fish n these areas. Minnows and crawler pieces on
dropshots or dead sticking perch rigs have been productive. Slip bobbers and casting small plastics in
orange or chartreuse colors have also had their fair share of action. Please consider releasing all your
bigger (12”-13” plus) Perch to help provide for a great fishery for the future.

Walleye fishing on Green Bay has started to show signs of getting past the spawning alewife and white perch. Trolling crankbaits, crawler harnesses, casting shiver minnows, spoons and hair jigs took fish this week, with locations of 2 mile reef, Chaudoirs Dock, North-South reef, Maccos reef, Shoemaker Point, Vokes reef, Pensaukee shoal, Kidney rocks, and College reef all had walleyes. The deep mud is also starting to put out walleyes. Perch fishing continues to be the best bite going, with limit catches coming from the north shore of Oconto, off Dykesville, deep edges of Vincent Point and Maccos reef. Minnows, crawlers, and helgramites are all taking these fish, with lots of 10-12” eaters and a few 13” plus giants giving action to perch enthusiasts. Please practice selective harvest, and release those 13” plus giants. At the mouth of the Fox River, shore anglers continue to harvest drum, catfish, carp, white perch and bullheads. Further north, smallmouth bass continue to give great action. Door county anglers are pitching Ned rigs, tube jigs, jerk baits and hair jigs for these smallies. Musky fishermen are moving towards west shore weed beds for action, with casting bucktails the best bet. If you go, please be safe, and take a kid fishing!
