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 John Luthens I held my breath, lying in the cattails and watching through binoculars as the pair of loons dove around the point and glided into the bay. The nest arched from the water 50 yards in front of me and into a chilly April morning. As the sun cracked the horizon, I thought for a moment they might enter the nest. But the birds upended a...

    Hi Everyone, The 2015 Winnebago walleye tagging effort is in the books and the numbers are in.  Walleye tagging efforts took place from 03/24/2015-04/22/2015 and fish were primarily collected during electrofishing surveys, but we also tagged some walleye during some yellow perch and muskellunge fyke netting surveys.  In total, there were...

    Finally!  Accessibility will not be an issue for the opener, a first in the past couple years.  With ice out in the rear view, most all but a few large lakes are done with the walleye spawn and a gradual warming trend for the weekend means things look good for opener.  While cold nighttime temps and mild daytime temps saw surface w...

    The ice went out of Chequamegon Bay on Saturday night, April 11, and the smelt run began the very next night. The smelt ran pretty well all last week, with a few hiccups here and there. The run did continue over the past weekend. On Sunday and Monday nights people were still getting some smelt, but Carolyn Swartz, co-owner of Anglers All in Ashlan...

    Dear Winnebago System Sturgeon Enthusiasts:    As anticipated the 2015 sturgeon spawning run on the Winnebago System passed by very quickly.  The first spawning activity was observed on the upper Fox River @ Eureka on the evening of April 14.  However, spawning activity was very limited at that point.  Spawning ...

    By Wayne Morgenthaler We had enough rain to bring streams up to almost normal levels.  Catch and release is still in effect, so return the trout back into the creeks as quick as possible.  Spin casting or fly casting has had good success.  I prefer spinners in the small sizes.  Gold or silver Panther Martins work the best on sm...

    A week plus of June-like daytime temps took care of all ice (Trout out as of this weekend).  Many smaller lakes had temps shoot up so quickly as to have had the walleyes finish up spawning.  Sunday saw temps back down into April reality, but, with many lakes in the high 40’s already, spawning should continue, just not as quick...

    Steve Suman If you enjoyed last week’s weather, you will enjoy next week’s weather and the following week’s weather even more so. This week, probably not so much, as snow continues to show a presence in the forecast. Hang in there – high temperatures return to the upper 50s by the weekend, projected to be in the 50s for the...

    By John Luthens Trekking to southwestern Arkansas to mine for diamonds was measured in my mind against Klondike gold in northern Alaska. I’m not a prospector and had never been to either place. I only held visions of what it would be like. Thoughts of Alaska were easy. They garnered snow-capped mountains; Rushing streams splitting boulders,...

    The famed Wisconsin fishing opener is two and half weeks away. Boats and equipment are starting to come out of storage, the walleyes are starting the spring spawn, and preparing your gear early is going to give you a jump on this year’s fishing season.
