2/25/2013 3:10:00 PMRecent snows have hampered travel on area lakes but if you can get out the fishing has been outstanding. The crappie bite remains the bet I have seen in years. We are catching not only numbers of fish but really nice big slab crappies as well. Most of the fish we are finding are suspended 2 to 6 feet off the bottom over 20 feet of wate...

2/25/2013 2:35:00 PMThe 2013 sturgeon spearing season is really starting to wind down, only 3 more days left for spearers to pursue that fish of a lifetime! That is until next February when it all starts over again, but that is a long ways off. Harvest picked up slightly today, with a total of 14 fish (2 juvenile females, 6 adult females, and 6 mal...

2/25/2013 11:20:00 AMThe recently completed NAFA auction in Toronto Feb 21-23 saw some dramatic price increases in wild fur pelts. This reflects a combination of reduced animal populations due to the summer drought, cold winter weather and promotion of fur garments in China. Some articles like raccoon, muskrat and red foxes almost doubled in price. Even less desirable ...

2/21/2013 11:55:00 AMJim Olsson here, back at it again with my buddies Randy, Craig and Dan pursuing Brown trout in the Milwaukee Harbor. Our latest trip took place on Sunday February 17th. It was mixed clouds and sun with just a little more wind than you want while fishing from a boat in February. We arrived at 1:00pm and found that the ri...

2/20/2013 11:55:00 AMEven with the snow and winds today, spearers were still able to get out on Lake Winnebago and harvest some fish. There were 12 fish harvested from Lake Winnebago today, 8 of which were registered at Jerry’s Bar in Oshkosh. Action in this area of the lake has really picked up over the last few days, and spearers are having success....

2/20/2013 11:45:00 AMBy Professional Guide Kurt Justice With the exception of Saturday’s high pressure shut down, things have been picking up this past week out on the ice. Gamefish are lagging from our long early ice season, but even with these fish, a pickup of action has occurred. Perch: Good. Some of the best reports surprisingly are...

2/20/2013 9:35:00 AMOP-ED by DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp I am taking this opportunity to set the record straight on our plans for the MacKenzie Environmental Education Center. Unfortunately, there has been a great deal of confusion about our intentions for the MacKenzie center in the days since we made our historic and exciting announcement about our plans for the futu...

2/18/2013 4:35:00 PMBy John Luthens Mud Lake doesn’t sound like much when you look at it strictly on a first name basis. Even reading its statistics doesn’t invoke much more than a yawn: 165 acres with a maximum depth of around four feet. In the winter the dissolved oxygen content falls so low that the only fish to survive are mud minnows that...

2/18/2013 3:40:00 PMWith reports of improving water clarity and nice weather today, we saw an increase in spearing effort on day 7 of the 2013 sturgeon spear fishery. The increase in effort led to a harvest of 25 fish from Lake Winnebago, including 4 fish that topped the scales at 100 pounds or more. The largest fish of the day was an 80.3” 139.8 pou...

2/18/2013 2:15:00 PMThe second Saturday of the 2013 sturgeon spear fishery was much like opening day. Water clarity conditions did improve over the last week and we saw a resurgence of sturgeon spearers take to the ice today, but the total harvest was still relatively low (37 sturgeon taken today). The largest fish today (73.7” and 112.5 pounds) was ...

2/18/2013 12:00:00 PMPanfish have started to do the traditional February slowdown. It's been a tough bite for bigger fish but they are still possible to catch. Slow down and downsize a little. There are a lot of small crappie and gills being caught providing some fun action. Just remember that these are next year’s nice ones and most of them should be given a cha...

2/15/2013 12:40:00 PMThis past week has been very good for all species of panfish. The crappies have been very aggressive. They are suspended in 10 to 16 feet of water about 2 to 4 feet off the bottom. Use your electronics to find them and then run plastics on tiny jigs like the Northland IMPULS mayfly and tapeworm in red and orange to pick up the aggressive feeders. ...

2/14/2013 5:35:00 PMHappy Valentine’s Day to all of the sturgeon spearers and sturgeon enthusiasts out there!

Dale was thrilled to register his 74.6”, 119.0 pound female sturgeon at our Jim and Lin...
