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...

    Fishing has been very tough over the last week or so.  The warm weather has confused the fish and they aren’t sure whether they should be in their fall or summer patterns.  The best bite on the lake remains the walleye.  They can be caught off the weedlines. Walleye pike can be caught trolling deep diving crank baits or jiggin...

    The yellow perch are everywhere in 12-16 ft of water.  You need to sort through a lot of the small ones to catch quality fish, however you can use the small ones as bait for the bass.  The best presentation is a leaf worms or a small piece of nightcrawler.  I’ve been straight lining with a single hook and a split shot beneath t...

    We had a week of warm, consistent weather that produced some great fishing opportunities.  Northern Pike fishing was really good all week, except for Sunday when the cold front moved in.  They have again been off the weedline in 20-25 ft of water.  I’ve found that the larger the sucker the better.  I’ve been lindy r...

    September 27, 2021 Steve Suman   The forecast calls for a beautiful week ahead through Thursday (not that they have not tricked us in the past!) with highs in the low 70s to 80s and lows in the low to mid-50s. Chances for showers start Friday evening and run through the (busy) weekend. Plan ahead and do not let the weather deter you from th...

    October 4, 2021 Steve Suman   Though the forecast for the past busy weekend was not encouraging, Saturday was dry and Sunday had only a few light, spotty showers. This week, the forecast predicts a few foggy mornings and evenings, sunshine through Thursday, lows in the mid-50s, and highs in the low 70s. Nearly perfect fall weather, so get o...

    September 20, 2021 Steve Suman   This week should offer plenty of sunshine once the heavy rains of Monday night move through the Hayward area. The forecast predicts high temperatures in the 60s and lows in the 40s ‑ except Wednesday’s low of 35 degrees! This is the time for considerable weather changes, so start digging out those flan...

    September 13, 2021 Steve Suman   The forecast for this week indicates we could see anything from sunshine to rain to thunderstorms at any time. Not sure if the weather or the forecast changes more often! That aside, temperatures are running near the annual September average ‑ high of 73 and low 45 degrees ‑ and fall colors are becoming more...

                    School is back in session for both kids and the bass.  The bass bite has improved dramatically with the cooler water temperature and the decreased fishing pressure.  It’s a great time to be able to fish.       &n...

    Northern pike fishing has been all right but nothing like it normally is this time of year.  The pike are in 30-38 ft of water.  They are being caught on lindy rigged medium suckers.  Look for the fish by Fontana Beach, the north shore in the Narrows or by Linn Pier.  You really have to fish for them this year, a good day on the...

    Largemouth bass are still on the rocky points.  When you find a school, it’s possible to catch 15-20 fish.  They can either be caught drop shotting small 4 inch worms or fishing nightcrawlers on a split shot rig.  Look for the fish in 15-20 ft of water.  The best location is by Del Mar or by the Yacht Club. Northern Pike ...

    August 30, 2021 Steve Suman   The forecast says sunshine and cooler temperatures through much of Thursday, and then showers into the weekend. However, heavy rains predicted last week never materialized, so enjoy any sunny days and 70-degree temperatures!   “Though it is hard to believe September is almost here,” says Pat ...

    August 23, 2021 Steve Suman   The current forecast shows rain and thunderstorms early and late in the week, with Wednesday and Thursday offering sunshine and blue skies. Maybe. The best thing to do is go ahead with you plans, but with a Plan B available just in case. The forecast seems to be in a state of flux even more-so than us...

    I’ve been catching some however the bite has slowed from the last few weeks.  Bluegills continue to be the best bite on the lake, if you can’t catch your limit you should hang up the pole.             Largemouth bass are still on the deep weedline in 15-20 ft of water or in th...
