Winds have once again made it a bit of a challenge for angers on and off throughout the week but when
folks were able to put their boats in fishing was good overall.
Perch fishing along the east shore from Macco’s to Volks reef had its ups and downs but guys willing to
move around and pay attention to their electronics were able to nab some nice limits of Bengal Backs.
Minnows below a slip bobber or dead sticking were top producers. Crawler chunks seemed to attract
more White Perch than Yellows.
The “Mud” trolling bite for walleye showed signs of improvement last week from 26’-30’ of water of
Geanos all the way up to Pensaukee. Once again pay attention to your electronics and when you
contact larger schools of fish you can work them by trolling Flicker minnows in both #7 and #9 with
Purples being the predominant choice. Using the 50+2 method for pulling your crank baits seemed to
be the best bet to get your lures in the target zone. Crawler Harnesses also produced some good action
with Colorado blades in Purples and Antifreeze color patterns.
Working structures when the wind has been blowing has been good Flat Calm days have been tougher.
North/South Reef, Oconto Shoal, Volks and Vincent Reef and Geanos reef have all been productive
when there has been wind. Jigging Hair jigs, jig and Crawler and Shiver minnows have all been
productive presentations. Some fish have also ben taken trolling #7 Flicker minnows around the
structures.
Musky are becoming more active with the cooler nights bringing early morning water temps down and
increasing the activity levels of these predators. Casting buck tails, Medusa’s, swim baits, and top water
baits were the best all-around lure choices. Areas around Geano’s reef, Pensaukee Shoal, and
Chaudoir’s Dock have seen the biggest increase in activity.
If you go, please be safe, and take a kid fishing
