Smokeys weekly fishing report by Captains Claus and Ruffolo 11/18/24

Most of the recent reports are coming from the anglers fishing the Fox River. The water remains low
and very dirty contributing to action has been reported as spotty most days. Some anglers are reporting
hair jigs and blade baits are catching Walleye on the flats north of Hwy 172. A few anglers trolling that
area with Flicker minnows are also reporting catching a few fish. Anglers casting crank baits like Flicker
Shads and Berkley Hit Sticks at the Dam in DePere are reporting catching some Walleye each trip. The
best action on the river seems to be morning and evening. A few boats when the weather has been
decent have tried trolling P-10’s at night and have reported some limited success also.
Musky anglers continue to troll the lower Bay near the mouth of the Fox and the river edges and shallow
areas all reporting slow activity.
There are reports of perch being caught in Dead Horse Bay and by the west side of the 172 bridge on the Fox river

Shore fishing by Metro (The Wall) is still not up to par but fishermen are catching some walleyes, pike and a few musky.

Yah, only at Smokeys!!!
Good luck to all participating in WI Gun Deer Opener this coming Saturday!
If you go, please be safe, and take a kid fishing.
