10/16/2012 8:45:00 AMWith the cooler water temperatures the fish are moving shallow. Northern Pike and Walleyes are becoming more accessible to the average fishermen. Most of the fish in the shallower water are aggressively hitting crank baits, which is a great method for late fall fishing. Walleye fishing has been excellent in pre-dusk. They are bit...

10/16/2012 8:35:00 AMWith the cooling temperatures, the fish have been aggressively biting. The best bite on the lake has been the smallmouth bass and the yellow perch. Smallmouth bass can be caught lindy rigging in 22-28 ft of water off the main lake points. I’ve been catching most of my fish by the Yacht Club, Military Academy or in front of Gage M...

10/15/2012 1:45:00 PMBy Professional Guide Kurt Justice Lake temps continue to drop further into the 40's, a few larger lakes still in the high 40's - low 50's, but the cooling water definitely affecting fishing -- some good --some not as good. Musky: Very good. Lots of fish reported this past week. Many anglers reporting multi fish days. With nearly all lakes turned...

10/15/2012 11:45:00 AMBy Professional Guide Jerry “Jerkbait” Hartigan Wednesday I guided Bill Kountz and his friend for a half day musky fishing and had a cold windy day with very little action. Thursday I took out Dick Martini and his friend for another day of Musky fishing. I warned them that the action was slow and the forecast was calling for stronger w...

10/11/2012 2:05:00 PMWell it looks like fall is finally here folks, as you can tell from the cooler temperatures and the masses of leaves falling from the trees. With that the change in seasons also means a change in fishing presentations and hunting patterns. The musky bite this last week has been really good and we are now starting to see quite a few fish bein...

10/11/2012 12:35:00 PMBy Steve Suman What a weather change from the previous weekend! Anglers have come to expect it during the annual Muskies Inc. fall fishing tournament, but strong winds, temperatures in the 30s to low 40s, and a rain/sleet/snow mix made it a challenge to be on the water. Of the 440 tournament anglers entered, 51 caught and released 64 muskies. Kyl...

10/9/2012 1:45:00 PMBy Professional Guide Jerry Hartigan Yesterday the rod locker and all the other compartments were frozen shut, so it was definitely a cold start. The first spot we hit was a hump that came up from 14ft to about 5ft. The first rod I grabbed had a 1/8 oz. jig on it so I put on a fathead minnow and dropped it over the side of the boat as I beg...

10/9/2012 1:25:00 PMBy John Luthens When the October winds take a sharp turn out of the northwest, and Lake Michigan starts whipping itself into a white capped frenzy, it only makes sense to head for a harbor. The salmon run into there every year. They sense it, and it seemed to make sense to me too, although I wasn’t heading to a safe port from the lake. ...

10/9/2012 10:30:00 AMOctober 8, 2012 It looks like fall is surely here. Most fishermen have put their boats up and are pulling the docks out. Several of my friends are putting the finishing touches on new ice shacks. With the weather the way it is, only the diehards are out musky fishing, using the huge suckers. They're the ones you see out on the lake in their ice...

Use stick baits and bright color baits right now...oranges, bright greens...they all have been working to catch some nice fish. Bass are super right...

10/4/2012 12:20:00 PMWith cooler temperatures at night and beautiful colors and the trees is a sure sign that fall is here. And with the onset of this season comes great fishing action. The musky bite has been phenomenal, in the past four days alone my clients hooked into 13 different muskies ranging from 36 to 46 inches. I am seeing some good action ...

10/4/2012 12:00:00 PMBy Professional Guide Jerry Hartigan So far this week the walleye bite on the Flowage has been really good. The fish are in their fall patterns and have moved into deeper water. As I said in my last report, the bigger fish seemed to be a little shallower in around 16 feet. Today I went out with very high expectations; a big cold front...

10/3/2012 11:45:00 AMBy Steve Suman If you were not ‘up north’ in the past few days, you missed an outstanding weekend of warm weather and display of fall colors. Simply spectacular! “It is hard to believe September is history,” says Pat at Happy Hooker, “but that does not mean the end of fishing. In fact, this is a great time of year to...

10/3/2012 11:20:00 AMBy Professional Guide John Carlson Winter is growing nearer in Northern Wisconsin and signs of it are all around us. Chances of snow the next few days remind us that the fall fishing window can be short, so go out there and enjoy what is left of open water fishing for this year. Our guide team has been busy this week with a corporate trip and s...

10/2/2012 2:10:00 PMBy Professional Guide Jerry Hartigan The last few days have brought beautiful weather and really active walleyes. On the Flowage the walleyes have moved into the river channels and deep drop-offs. I caught fish anywhere from 10 feet to around 22 feet. But the bigger fish seemed to be in 14 to 16 foot river channels near drop-offs.&nbs...

10/2/2012 12:10:00 PMBy Professional Guide Kurt Justice A week of beautiful weather, though cold in the morning, kept water temps in the low to upper 50's. A few reports of smaller lakes turning over, but for the most part, things have been very stable. A little too much sun and high pressure, but the stable weather has led to overall good fishing. Crappies: Very Goo...

10/2/2012 12:00:00 PMBy Professional Guide Dave Lang Hi from the shores of Lake Minocqua. After a week of cold, wet, and windy conditions the weather turned nice last Monday and has stayed nice. Walleyes are in their fall pattern. Depending on the lake you will find them relating to rock humps or deep holes. Lakes are beginning to turn; again it depe...

10/2/2012 11:40:00 AMBy John Luthens The last day in September was never formerly honored between us. My father and I stubbornly refused to believe in it. There would be carved pumpkins come Halloween. Our fishing knives were laying in wait, idle for nearly a month, and so we carved jack-o-lanterns with a vengeance, sticking our hands deep int...
-
10/2/2012 11:30:00 AMThe most important thing to realize is that the lake is very low. You need to travel out of the boat launch area with great caution. The Delavan Lake Sanitary district says the lake is 10 ½ inches low, but it appears 2-3 ft low to me. Overall, the fishing has been on the slow side. The best action has been coming at n...
-
10/2/2012 11:20:00 AMDelavan Lake has been slow, but Lake Geneva has been very good for fishing. The fish are in their late summer, early fall patterns and can be easily harvested. Most of the fish I’ve been catching are in 20 ft of water yet, however there is also a good bite in 8-10 ft of water. Largemouth bass can be caught in 10 ft of water. ...

9/28/2012 1:40:00 PMBy Professional Guide Jerry “Jerkbait” Hartigan Fished Wednesday for a half day with Dave Wolf who was a first time walleye fisherman and had never really jig fished before. With sunny calm conditions it was a perfect day for Dave to learn, and he ended up doing well catching a bunch of walleyes and a few decent perch. Overall w...

Water temps have dropped and this week into October are the best times for Coho to show back up. Also, we got some rain recently, so, hopefully that will help the stream anglers out t...
