I could easily copy last week’s report and call it good, because fishing in ever area mentioned is great. The bite continues to roll hot, with lots of great walleyes in eating and trophy sizes. Oconto Shoal, Pensaukee Shoal, North-South Reef, the rocks off Chaudoirs Dock, Macos Reef, Point Comfort, 2 Mile Reef, Vincent Point, and Vokes Reef all put out fish in the last week, as has the mud off Geanos up beyond Oconto Shoal. Trolling crankbaits or crawler harnesses, jigging Ripper minnows, jig/crawler and plastics all worked. To the north, alewives have started to move off the deep reef structures of Door County, and the big fish are on the feed. Similar techniques earlier mentioned are good for these giant fish. Smallmouth bass are also doing well in the Door County area, with jerk baits and Ned rigs taking the most fish. Perch fishermen are starting to find good schools of fish around Dykesville, just off the shipping channel, out from Chaudoirs Dock and in Oconto Shoal. Night crawler pieces and minnows on perch rigs are taking the most fish. Musky anglers are finding big fish along west shore weed beds, casting bucktails, bulldogs, medusas, swimming dawgs, and shallow invaders is the best approach for these trophy fish. If you go, please be safe, and take a kid fishing. Yah, only at Smokeys!!!
