Smokeys weekly fishing report by Captain Ruffolo 7/31/23

Great walleye fishing continues, with a variety of presentations and size in walleyes! Last week we found a mix of smaller and bigger walleyes on shoals and rocks along both shorelines. We trolled these fish with crankbaits, using planer boards at 2-2.2mph with snap weights to get baits down deep and without weights when positioning baits higher in the water column. The best areas along the east side include Point Comfort, Vincent Point, Chaudoirs Dock and North-South reef. On the west side, Oconto Shoal, Pensaukee shoal, and Geanos reef. have all put out walleyes and perch. In the deep mud, crawler harnesses and crankbaits are both excellent choices for walleyes. Muskie fishing has also been good, with casting bucktails, medusas, and bulldogs working best. Pensaukee shoal and the rock/weed edges around Chaudoirs Dock are great choices for musky. The perch bite off Dykesville has picked up, with many anglers taking these great eating fish on crawler pieces, helgrammites, and minnows. If you go please be safe! A shout out here to Leo, a big fan of our reports! Keep fishing Leo! Capt Jerry RuffoloAnglers Plus Guide Service 920-973-2868
