Ashland Area Fishing Report for Nov. 6, 2014
~ Fishing Guide Roger LaPenter and wife Carolyn from Anglers All, 715/682-5754(http://www.anglersallwisconsin.com), report the following:
This report is about the Ashland side of Chequamegon Bay. At the moment, fall fishing is good for many different species. Smallmouth fishing continues to be solid.
Anglers are still catching walleye, some from shore during low-light hours, and “really picking up a little bit of everything,” noted Carolyn LaPenter. “Not everybody has put their boat away yet,” she said, “so there are still a few people getting out on the water.”
However, the “water temperatures are starting to drop now” and there have been people in the shop who are “already gearing up for ice fishing,” she added.
The Coho salmon are around off and on in the streams and at the mouths of rivers. Some days seem better than others, but they're showing up and will continue to do so as fall progresses.
Trolling has been good between Houghton Point to the Onion River and near Long Island. Flat-lining and planer boards with stickbaits are the way to go, according to Luke Kavajecz, fishing guide at Anglers All.
For the most complete and up-to-date fishing report, just give them a call at Anglers All and they will keep you informed!
