Smokeys weekly fishing report by Captains Klaus and Ruffolo 7/23/24

Walleye fishing on Green Bay has finally been living up to its normal standard.
Trolling Crank baits like #7 Flicker Minnows and #7 Flicker Shads around structures has been on of the
best bets for action. Anywhere from College Reef in University Bay, to Geano’s Reef, and all the way up
to Oconto Shaol. The east shore structures like Vincent Reef and Volks Reef have also been good for
Walleye action trolling at times. Jigging any off the ref tops with Shiver Minnows and Jigging Spoons
along with Hair Jigs and other glide baits has been productive on many days.
The trolling bite in the “Mud” off Geano’s up past Pensaukee has also seen an uptick in action. Both #9
Flicker minnows and Crawler Harnesses have been seeing good catches on many days. For sure fish
want to see a slower presentation this last few weeks so even on your crank baits slow down your speed
these fish are still coming off one of the largest Alewife feeding stretches we have ever seen on Green
Bay they are not as willing to chase a bait fast.
Perch fishing continues to be very good overall, with areas around Geanos, Pensaukee, Oconto,
Bayshore, Maccos reef al seeing good action. Minnows, hellgrammites, and crawler pieces were best
baits with dead sticking seeing an uptick in activity.
If you go, please be safe, and take a kid fishing
