    You really couldn’t beat the weather for the 2016 opening fishing season over this last weekend, Friday before the opener we noticed a larger then normal number of anglers that had taken the day off and enjoyed the almost 90 degree day on the water for some panfishing, Saturday saw cooler temps and some wind but for the anglers that fought th...

    As difficult as Lake Geneva is on a typical opening day, the cool spring and cold front that greeted Opening day made Geneva even more difficult.  It takes a consistent warming spring and nice sunny days to heat up a body of water the size of Lake Geneva.  Fishing stays on the difficult side until the water temps increase. I’ve fou...

    Delavan Lake met opening day with a 20 degree cold front.  The fishing pressure was lighter than I’ve seen in recent years and the fishing was very tough.  From my own trip and discussions with others the day was met with limited success all around. Walleye fishing had only one good report and that was by casting small Shad Raps ov...

    Here we are on the brink of the opener.  A late one.  Walleye spawning is almost completely done throughout the Lakeland Area.  What anglers can expect will be a post spawn bite for the most part.  Surface temps ranging from 47-53 degrees on many of the area lakes and Flowages.  Following a brief recovery time after the rig...

    Well Mother Nature sure played a nasty trick on us this past week with plummeting temperatures, high winds and rain.  What does this mean for outdoor activities?  Water Temperatures have dropped drastically and have gone from near 60 down to the mid to upper 40’s and that’s a real shock to any fishery.  In addition to the...

    Unfortunately we didn’t get another beautiful weekend like the previous one.  The temperature was cooler, and it was rainy so there was very little fishing activity.  Surface temps reported anywhere from the upper 30’s (big lakes) to upper 40’s.  That is down from a few that reached the low 50’s during that wa...

    Anglers that have been out chasing pan fish (only species open in our area) have had good success for perch, crappie and bluegills, especially on the warmer afternoons.  As the bays warm (some reports have surface temps hit the low 50’s), crappies and gills have moved into shallows.  They spook easily, but, long casts have produced ...
