Fishing on Green Bay is a good news/bad news proposition. The good news: on several of the structures I fish last week appear to have less alewives than a week ago. The bad news: the bite has not improved much. I found fish on Vokes Reef, Vincent Point, along Bayshore, Barrett Point and Macos Reef, but only got a few to bite. There are some fish starting to work deeper into the mud, so I’m hoping our mud bite takes off soon. I know of fish taken last week around Geanos Reef, in the weeds of Charles Pond, on Pensaukee Shoal, Oconto Shoal and in the rock/weed structured near County Park 2 launch. Night crawlers and leeches jigged or rigged on slip bobbers was the best technique. Musky have been active around the west shore weed edges, and smallmouth bass have also been active along the rocks of the Oconto River. Perch are starting to pick up, with decent catches in Oconto in weeds. Patience seems to be the key to connecting with these fish. In the lower bay, a few walleyes are going by University bay, the east shore, kidney and across the channel in Deadhorse Bay. Trolled crankbaits was best for these fish. Shore fishing by Metro launch is still giving up a nice mix bag of bass, perch, walleye, cats and pike. If you go, please be safe, and take a kid fishing. Yah, only at Smokeys!!!
