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...

    By Professional Guide John Carlson With 80 to 84 degree surface temps you would expect fishing to slow down a bit as fish should be moving into deeper water.  Last week has proved that wrong. Clients and customers are reporting good catches of Gills, Crappie, and Perch. They are catching these Panfish in 5 to 15 feet of water. Walleye action...

    By Darrell Pendergrass The droning sound of a gazillion insane mosquitoes swirled crazily around our heads. The night was humid. The evening draped itself heavily across our shoulders. Neither Jack nor I could manage a smile as we waited along the shoreline of the river, nor would we try to find any real joy. We were angry. Along the river fisher...

    By Professional Guide Kenny Wallock With the water temps in the high 70's the fishing has been explosive the past weeks for my clients as were the excellent fireworks display here on the Stevens Point Flowage. All the rain the northern part of the state really got the fish biting well with good current flow a couple weeks ago. My clients have been...

    By John Luthens The Oconto River dumps into Green Bay in a wide swath.  And if you look at the river like a tree, the mouth of the Oconto would be the heavy wooden trunk grounded in the vast waters of Lake Michigan. The Oconto narrows in a gradual taper.  It runs through Oconto Falls in a frantic rush, with the crashing falls like swayi...

    The extreme heat continued for another week, it didn’t however, have a negative impact on fishing.  Most of the fish are in their mid-summer patterns.  They are off the weedlines in 18-20 ft of water. Northern pike action has been very good in 25-27 ft of water.  Look for the fish by Belvidere Park and just west of Willow Poin...

    All the warm weather over the past few weeks has the lake water some of the warmest I’ve seen in July in 21 years of guiding. The good news is that it hasn’t affected fishing.Fishing remains excellent. Even though we have 80 degree surface temperatures, the large and smallmouth bass are still relatively shallow. Most of my success is c...

    By Professional Guide Jeff Winters Fishing got quite a bit tougher since my last report.  We had to endure a bug hatch, 10 straight days of storms and a miserable heat blast.  Fishing was hard. The past few days have shown some pretty good action on a bunch of different fish.  It’s a crawler bite now and this opened the door ...

    Hot weather means even hotter fishing. The bite for muskies this past week has been outstanding. We have been catching quite a few nice fish in the mid to upper thirty inch range along with some real good 40 plus inch fish. The Wisconsin River system also recently produced a nice 50 incher for good friend Jordan Kelbley this past week.  The b...

    The Ashland Area Chamber of Commerce report; Fishing is starting to pick up again and the anglers are pleased to see the water starting to clear up. Bay Days is coming July 13th through the 15th. This is a Home Town Festival that is fun for the entire family. What a wonderful time of year to come and visit, enjoy the festival at Bay View Park, and ...

    By Wayne Morgenthaler I was out fishing three times in this extreme heat and caught all the panfish I wanted.  I went at 5 am or 7 pm and the bite was on.  I was fishing near Lone Rock and just using a waxworm, size 8 hook, and a small bobber.  You need to look for small open pockets in the lily pads and then it just takes a good ca...

    By Steve Suman Just in time for the summer vacation and recreation season, the DNR has added a new activities locator – Explore Outdoors – to its website. Visitors can search millions of acres of public lands by county, city, property type, or outdoor activities, and can cover all opportunities on DNR state parks, trails, forests, natu...

    By Professional Guide Kurt Justice Heat and high pressure (with the occasional lightning storm thrown in) has made midday fishing rather miserable. No problem, the fish aren’t biting then anyway. The best has been very early in the A.M. (sometimes bite over by 6:30-7) or towards dusk. Fish being caught, but window of opportunity sometimes sm...

    By John Luthens It is one of the finest hunting seasons, with a little bit of everything to make it so:  There is the thrill of the chase.  It happens in a bright flurry, supplemented by the finest summer evening weather patterns Wisconsin can set forth. No bag limits exist, and no license fee applies. If the government thought about it...

    Fishing remains excellent.  You need to go early to avoid the crowds.  Most days there are between 100-150 fishermen out on the lake.  The fishing has been awesome for bluegills and largemouth bass. Largemouth bass fishing has been great.  You want to fish underneath the north shore piers or on the deep weed line points.  ...

    Fishing on Lake Geneva continues to be very good.  The boat traffic has been very intense.  Due to vacation season, you need to go early in the a.m. Smallmouth bass are on the weed line in 15-20 ft of water.  The best location is by Abbey Springs or by the Yacht Club.  The best presentation is a 1/8 oz lindy sinker with a 2 ft ...

    By Wayne Morgenthaler Right now there are a number of activities that are about to take place or already have.  If you are one that is looking for outdoor activities, I feel we have some very nice ones to offer.  I just took a canoe trip down the Pine River from Bohen’s Mill (about 5 miles north of Richland Center) to the old commu...

    By Professional Guide John Ross The walleye bite has slowed a bit on Phillips Area Waters but the bluegill and perch action is making up for it! Ross's Sport Shop Guide boats are still bringing in nice mixed bag catches. Were not bringing in limits of walleyes but we are pulling a couple of nice eaters every trip and adding some quality gills and ...

    By Frank Zumpf, Local Outdoorsman It’s been hot in the Rice Lake area and the fishing has been the same.  The bass fishing has been good, with several clubs holding tournaments on Rice Lake.  This has increased the boat traffic.  I hope there will still be a place for the recreational fisherman and that safe boat handling an...

    Fishing has been very good this past week with excellent catches of walleyes and crappies coming in along with some very nice muskies.  In addition to the great fishing, we have been seeing a lot of activity around our bear baiting stations. Doug Aziz with a nice musky Charlie Peth and Doug Aziz with Charlie's musky ...

    By Local Outdoorsman Frank Zumpf Now that the rains have stopped and we have the lake levels up it’s time to fish.  Local anglers have been doing well on bass.  Many are fishing the weed pockets with plastic worms.  Others are pulling a frog or mouse across the lily pads.  Be sure to take a three count after the strike ...

    Fishing continues to be very good.  The best action on the lake has been largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and rock bass.  Largemouth bass have been positioned in the shallow weed flats while the smallmouth bass have been on the break line. Largemouth bass fishing has been excellent.  The best location has been by the Military Academ...

    Fishing on Delavan Lake has been fantastic.  Almost all of the species of fish are biting.  The only thing that hampered fishing last week was the strong SW wind, but if you could manage the wind, you could catch fish. Walleye fishing has been good at dusk and dawn.  They are positioned on the main lake points in about 20-22 ft of w...

    By John Luthens I’ve been fascinated with the guiding lifestyle for years.  When the other kids went through their phases of wanting to be an astronaut, firefighter, or the next U.S. President, I always wanted to be a professional guide. Guiding willing outdoor enthusiasts into the wild country and getting paid for it-what better way t...

    My Jeep was under the weather the entire summer last year and I wasn’t able to get my boat in the water not even once. Seriously; not once. So, I got the Jeep fixed over the winter and was prepared to put the boat in the water this year and then the outboard motor went out.  I now know that overheating a motor isn’t something you ...
