8/7/2012 4:45:00 PMBy Frank Zumpf It’s August already. Summer has been going by so fast. It seems like we had the “dog days” of summer in July. With school starting before you know it, I’m thinking that if you know any kids who haven’t been out fishing, now is the time to take them out. If you’ve already ...

8/7/2012 9:55:00 AMBy Professional Guide John Carlson The much needed rain and a drop in evening temps has cooled the water a few degrees (down to the mid 70's in most lakes) and heated up the fishing. Earlier this week Ross's Sport Shop guides had some great mixed bag trips and some good Musky outings. On Saturday one of the guide boats boated over 35 walleye and ...

8/6/2012 1:35:00 PMBy Steve Suman The forecast for this week holds quite the mix, from somewhat chilly lows to highs in the 80s, and chances for rain. If you are fishing, try to get out ahead of the fronts, but watch for thunderstorms – and get off the water immediately if lightning is in or moving into the area. “Walleye fishing was fair during the hig...

8/6/2012 12:25:00 PMFishing on Delavan Lake continues to be excellent. The best bite on the lake remains bluegills with Largemouth bass being a close second. Both fish are on the deep weedlines in 16-18 ft of water. With the warmer weather, boat traffic is extreme so try for early a.m. or late p.m. Largemouth bass can be caught on two different patt...

8/6/2012 12:20:00 PMFishing continues to be very good on Lake Geneva. Based on the warm weather, you need to plan your fishing trips accordingly as the boat traffic can be intense. Lake Trout fishing has been excellent. The best depth continues to be 90-100 ft down in 120-130 ft of water. Most of the action is coming off of a small Dodger and Fly or...

8/6/2012 12:00:00 PMBy John Luthens My hometown of Grafton is a nicely developed suburban community about twenty minutes north of Milwaukee. There is a mix of industry, commerce and residential subdivisions, as well as the occasional farm field and undeveloped woodlot. When civic progress meets natural resources, it can be a tricky barbed wire fence to straddle. You...

8/6/2012 10:55:00 AMWisconsin angler Ron Klimcke experienced another great evening of walleye fishing on the Big Chip Friday. “I moved around and fished several spots before I found them,” Klimcke said. “Once I found the fish it only took about 35 minutes to limit out. I used a jig tipped with either a leech or half of a night crawler while ...

8/3/2012 10:00:00 AMBy Phil Schweik Walleyes are biting on leeches and crawlers in about 8 to 12 feet of water. most of the fish have come from heavy cover like wood and weeds. Slip bobber rigs are working pretty well during low light conditions but during the daytime a simple jig tipped with live bait has been the best for getting the walleyes out of the heaviest of...

8/2/2012 10:25:00 AMBy Darrell Pendergrass My grandparent’s place in rural western North Carolina was situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains; it always seemed old there when we’d go to visit, yet comfortable and familiar. When I was a boy the summers there were extraordinarily hot during the day, but eventually the coolness of night would ...

8/1/2012 9:55:00 AMBy Frank Zumpf Well, it’s been warm enough to go fishing this week. Now is the time I think about how nice it was ice fishing. Of course, when I was out on the ice I was thinking how nice open water would be. The bass fishing has been good, with the largemouth in the lily pads or deep holes in the weeds. One thing that seems to be slow i...

7/31/2012 11:00:00 AMBy Kurt Justice A midweek storm cooled the water and some of the fishing down through the weekend. As temps start to return to normal, so has the fishing. Largemouth Bass: Good-Very Good. Still the most widely caught species (other than bluegills) up here. Spinnerbaits (Boonie baits, River 2 Sea), Chatterbaits, Pre-rigged ...

7/30/2012 1:30:00 PMBy John Luthens It was raining lightly at 4:00 A.M., with the occasional arc of lightning dancing across the dark western sky. I debated calling Dennis to see if he wanted to chance the weather. But I knew that he was already standing in his driveway on the edge of the Northern Unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. He would be out with a coffe...

7/30/2012 12:25:00 PMDelavan Lake has seen a lot of fishing pressure this week. John Gillespie was out the middle of this week, so I don’t expect it to let up anytime soon. On Saturday, the boat launch was exceptionally busy between 5 and 6 a.m. so plan accordingly. The good news is that the fishing remains consistent and most species have available action. Blue...

7/30/2012 12:15:00 PMLake Geneva continues to be really good fishing but it also continues to be super busy with pleasure boats. Plan to fish early a.m. or late p.m. for a safer, more productive trip. Lake trout continue to bite in the main lake basin. The best time to try for them is early a.m. as the sun in coming up. Look for the fish 90 ft down in about 110-118 ft...
