5/1/2012 2:55:00 PMBy Wayne Morgenthaler Fishing for panfish took a turn for the worst with the cold frosty mornings. The backwaters might be slow for the panfish but the northern pike are hitting on all lakes. My favorite lure seems to be a pink and white jig. I am really trying to find crappies but the northerns for some reason just love this bai...

4/30/2012 12:35:00 PMBy Steve Suman Wisconsin’s game fish season opens this Saturday, May 5, and it appears we will have a wonderfully warm week leading up to it. The forecast for Tuesday through Saturday, calls for highs in the upper 60s-70s, with a few chances for rain. How this will affect walleye activity is anyone’s guess (general consensus: go deeper...

4/27/2012 1:25:00 PMThe cooler water temperatures have been keeping the crappies staging just outside their normal traditional spawning areas. They are holding in about 10 to 14 feet of water but can still be caught on slip bobber rigs. We are running our baits about 4 to 7 feet down on slip bobbers rigged up with small minnows on tiny bait hooks. To work ...

4/27/2012 12:00:00 PMBy Bill Schultz During the past 16 years, I’ve spent over 160 days chasing smallmouth bass in Door County. I’ve been rewarded with catching and releasing almost 5,000. Like many who fish Door County smallies or lake smallies in general, I’ve used many lures, but have also tried to keep it simple. I believe I’ve...

Most of our action is coming in 3 to 5 feet of water associated with rock's and good current. We are catching most of the walleyes on 1/8 and 1/4 oun...

4/6/2012 2:55:00 PMThe cold weather has put a damper on the boat traffic. There are still bluegills and crappies to be had. Most of the fish are in 2-3 ft of water. You need to keep moving to find the bigger fish. Bluegill fishing is good in 2 ft of water. The best success is in the boat channels. Look for the fish in Viewcrest Channel,...

4/6/2012 2:40:00 PMIt seems that summer came and left! The water temperature has dropped 10 degrees from last week. The fish seem to be very sluggish right now.

3/29/2012 4:25:00 PMBy Licensed Guide Phil Schweik Even though we are just getting into April the walleye season has been off to a great start. With the warm temperatures in early and mid March we saw a drastic temperature spike causing the water temps to push well into the 50's. The higher than normal temps caused a surge in the walleye spawning season and fis...

3/20/2012 4:35:00 PMWith the warm temperatures we here at Hooksetters are pulling the plug on ice fishing for the season. The ice in many areas is almost gone and even further north it is honeycombing and dangerous. Even with 14 to 20 inches of ice the strength when honeycombed is not there and can be very deceiving and dangerous. It was a great season and...

Occasionally, a gust of wind kicks waves up on the long stretches of straight river, but hundreds of anglers are hunkered in and comfortable. They’re working wood on protected bends or moving to anchor on the shallower sand flats to target...

3/12/2012 2:35:00 PMSo much for the last weekend of gamefish season. Last Wednesday's dumping of snow (20-22" on average) put a halt to getting out on the ice. Prior to that, fishing was very good, but now access is tough. Two days of warm weather (mid 30s) compacted snow down some, but still truck and ATV travel are out of the question. Foot t...

Pay attention to the ice, it will tell you when the season is over and it’s time to get the boats ready!
