Fishing in general over the last week on Green Bay has become tougher with the more fall like weather
patterns and winds. This week with the predicted warm up we may see an increase in activity if you can
get out and brave some more windy conditions.
Walleye activity around the lower Bay had been slow but saw a slight increase in activity going into the
weekend. Trolling #7 Flicker Shads or #7 Flicker Minnows very slow along the shoreline areas of
University Bay or around College Reef was productive. Mostly fish have been found in shallower water
under 8’, and keeping your trolling speed under 1.5 mph seemed to be the best bet. Some Walleye
action, although a bit slower, has still been seen from Sugar Creek down to Dykesville but that has been
a little bit tougher at times to get the fish to trigger.
Walleye activity in the Fox River has seen a slight increase with the cooling water temperatures. Trolling
cranks along the mud flats like north of 172 have produced some good catches. Trolling cranks or
casting hair jigs or jig/plastics along the river edges in 8’-12’ of water has also produced some action.
We certainly needed the rain this last weekend and could use more to bring the current up in the river.
Casting up near the Dam has been slow and you really must watch the changing water levels with no
current and the continued winds.
Perch fishing remained good overall. Dykesville Bay, Chaudior’s Dock, Sugar Creek, and Sturgeon Bay
area all are continuing to produce good catches of nice Perch. Minnows have certainly become the go
to choice for most Percha anglers right now. Dropshots, dead sticking “Crappie rigs” and slip bobbers
all taking fish.
Musky anglers are reporting action to have slowed way down this last week. Fish are definitely spread
out so trolling stick baits or Super Shads are still being reported as the best option to locate a hungry
Musky. Yah, only at Smokeys!!!
If you go, please be safe, and take a kid fishing.
