Black, minority Trump supporters censored by Gannett, other media at 2020 RNC Convention. Expect the same as Milwaukee hosts 2024 RNC Convention. Look back four years Wisconsin, to compare and contrast Gannett’s corrupt coverage of the 2020 Republican and Democratic National Conventions to know what to expect July 15-18 when the nation’s eyes rest on Milwaukee, home of the 2024 RNC convention.  The DNC will showcase its conventi...

In general, fishing reports will be updated once per week, usually on Tuesdays. This may change based on availability of reports and work schedules of field staff.

REMINDER - Anglers must carry a paper copy of their license/stamps while fishing on the waters of Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, and the WI/MI, WI/MN and WI/IA boundary waters.

Fox River and Green Bay Creel Report: November 11, 2019

Oconto County

  • Good perch fishing was seen at Oconto Park II and the Oconto City docks. Better catches were coming from Oconto Park II as the Oconto River was yielding smaller size perch primarily. Minnows were the best bait with anglers fishing them on the bottom having better luck than using slip bobbers. On average 10 to 12 keeper perch over 2 hours of fishing was seen with fish of 7 to 10 inches being common. Some of the back waters and shallow ditches were seeing ice this week as temps have dropped. Water temps were in the mid 30’s by the end of the week.

Marinette County

  • Some of the area launches had their docks removed this week as cold weather has started. The launches on the Peshtigo River were still being used by duck hunters but no fishing pressure was observed. Most fishing pressure was ssen on the Menominee River from the Highway 41 bridge upstream to the dam. Shore fishing and fishing off Hattie St. Bridge were popular as anglers were searching for whitefish, walleye, and brown trout. Overall the whitefish bite was good this week with catches of 2 to 5 fish reported over a 2 hour period. Many other whitefish were being fouled hook while targeting all 3 species. Anglers were using jigs with crawlers or minnows off the Hattie St. Bridge with success for whitefish with the occasional walleye caught. A few anglers were targeting brown trout this week with a couple fish caught casting rapalas and spoons below the dam. Water temps were in the mid 30’s by the end of the week.
