Walleye fishing on Green Bay, over the last week, remained inconsistent, with times of good to great fishing, along with periods one would swear the walleyes disappeared. To the south, a few fish are being caught in University Bay, Vincent Point, Bayshore, Macos Reef and Geanos Reef with trolling crankbaits or casting ripper minnows around rock structure the best approach. In the mud, anglers are finding that slow trolling crawler harnesses are enticing more walleyes and jumbo perch than trolled crankbaits. The best bite for a mixture of eating size walleyes and big fish remains in the Oconto/southern Door County waters, with North-South reef, Chaudoirs, and Oconto shoal putting out good numbers of fish. Trolled crankbaits, crawler harnesses, and casted ripper minnows have worked best. Perch fishing is very good, with perch activity peaking early and late. The areas around Dykesville, Oconto, Bayshore, and Sturgeon Bay are best for these jumbos. Live bait such as minnows, crawlers, red worms, and helgramites are taking perch. Musky fishing remains good, with peak activity around moon phases creating the most big fish activity. Trolled crankbaits and bucktails, or casted big plastics such as Bulldogs and Medusas are triggering the most action. If you go, please be safe, and take a kid fishing!
