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...

    Delavan lake fishing has been fantastic.  The northern and largemouth bite is exceptional.  It has been almost boring at times catching 16-23 inch largemouth bass !?!?  I have to remember when fishing is tough ho w good this time of year is.                 L...

                    Lake Geneva fishing is still going steady.  There are several active species and some numbers on the panfish as well.   The mid- summer traffic is heavy but there’s always room to fish on Geneva.        ...

    Steve Suman   Monday started the week with sunshine and highs in the 80s, and maybe some late severe storms, then clear and sunny until the end of the week. Excellent weather for any outdoor recreation ‑ get out and enjoy it!   “This coming week should bring great weather to the Quiet Lakes’ area,” says Greg at Hap...

    Steve Suman This week’s forecast has quite the mix, with varied chances for rain and thunderstorms from Tuesday through Thursday, and again Saturday. Enjoy the nice days, but be alert for sudden changes! “Fishing on the Quiet Lakes is fair to good,” says Greg at Happy Hooker, “with water temperatures in the ...

                With the warm weather, I have been positioning myself on the deep weedlines in 20-25 ft of water.  Due to the cold spring, the largemouth bass are a couple of weeks behind schedule, the bass are not very thick on the weedline yet.  They are in the medium weeds between 8 and 10 ft of water.  ...

    Lake Trout are biting in the main lake basin.  Most of the fish are suspended off the bottom between 50 and 90 ft down in 115-130 ft of water.  Most of the fish are caught at first light or right at dusk.  With the longer days, you need to get up very early to get the best bite.  Fish can be caught on nickel/green or nickel/blu...

    Rock bass are concentrated on the shallow flats in 10-12 ft of water.  They can be caught on fat head minnows or on nightcrawlers.  Last week it was almost every cast that produced a fish at a certain spot near Fontana.  The basic rig is a split shot and a single hook.  This time of year, the fish are pretty much everywhere in t...

    Fishing in the shallows remains very good.  Most of the largemouth bass seem to be post-spawn.  And the bluegills are coming up to spawn.  Largemouth bass can be caught on two patterns: the shallow post-spawn, 4-5 ft depth or the deep weedline.  The deep weedline has been the slower pattern since the majority of fish don’...

    Steve Suman   This week starts warm, with Monday’s high of 78 degrees and 82 degrees Tuesday, but then mild for the remainder of the week. The forecast indicates rain and thunderstorms interspersed throughout this week, but with (surprise!) mostly sunshine and blue skies for the weekend!   “On the Quiet Lakes, it was a sog...

    The smallmouth bass are still in transition.  I’ve seen some that are spawning and some that wish they were.  Most of the fish are suspended in 12-15 ft of water.  The best location is Belvidere Park and Elgin Club.  Most of my fish are coming off of fat head minnows or white hair jigs.  The fish are not associated wi...

    Steve Suman   Many chances for rain throughout the week in the forecast, but most are less than 50 percent and with high temperatures in the 60s to 70s. We could have excellent weather for the holiday weekend. Take time this Memorial Day to remember those who gave all they had then‑ their lives ‑ so that you could have all you have today. ...

    Typical of Delavan Lake I expect the fishing pressure on opening day to be tremendous.  You can’t have a great fishery without a lot of fishermen.  However, if you don’t know where to look and what to try, fishing will be tough with the cold spring we’ve had.           &...

    Steve Suman This week’s forecast for the Hayward area is “interesting.” It includes mid-60-degree highs to lows in the 20s, with sunshine, snow (sorry!), rain, thunderstorms, and some stiff winds dispersed throughout the week.

    Steve Suman   The North Woods was/is a beautiful winter wonderland this Monday morning, only a few days following spring’s arrival. Wet, heavy snow nearing 10 inches covered the landscape and more is on the way, though in less quantity (or so says the current forecast). This week will see a few lows in the low double-digits and highs e...

There are various chances for snow and flurries...

Officially, spring begins in only o...
