5/2/2012 2:35:00 PMBy Glenn Walker A technique and lure that has taken the nation by storm got its start here in the Midwest on the Mississippi River. Tournament bass anglers began crafting their own swimming jigs after they realized that the jig, a proven bass-catching lure, worked well when it was swam back to the boat. Through numerous prototypes and countless ho...

5/1/2012 4:15:00 PMBy Frank Zumpf With the weather changing every other day it’s been cutting into my fishing time. It’s been a little cool, but the fish have still been biting. They have been moving in and out of the shallow bays, but you don’t have to go any deeper than 7 feet. The bay on Rice Lake by the hospital has given up s...

5/1/2012 4:10:00 PMBy Professional Guide Kurt Justice With the weather forecast calling for warming temps plus clouds - maybe some rain - things look very good for the gamefish opener this weekend. Slowly rising water temps are bringing panfish and bass into the shallows to warm up. Insect hatches, signs of minnows and small perch are pulling walleyes, p...

5/1/2012 3:30:00 PMOpening Day is this coming Saturday, May 5th. The water is still pretty cool, it is supposed to be warming up a bit this week so that should help. The fish should be biting pretty well by next week. Northern Pike will be in 6-7 ft of water in the weed flats. The best approach will be fishing Thill slip bobbers with golden shiners...

5/1/2012 3:25:00 PMWith the cool nights, the lake temperature remains pretty cold. We need some warm weather to make the fish active. The best bite for opening day on Saturday May 5th will be in water 4-5 ft deep. In early spring I however like to target smallmouth bass that are suspending around pods of bait fish. Catching them though can be ...

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...

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...

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,...
