2012 Spearing Season Status
Dear Winnebago Sturgeon Spearers,
The cold weather seems to be back and so are some renewed hopes that ice conditions may improve sufficiently to allow greater access for sturgeon spearers to more of the Winnebago Lakes this coming Saturday, opening day of the 2012 season. The lakes, as always though ...

This past week has seen a drastic turn around in the perch bite. I have been limiting out on very nice jumbo perch on almost every trip - sometimes in less than a couple of hours. We are fishing mud flats in 10 t o14 feet of water right on the bottom with wigglers and rosie reds. (Photo: A nice bucket of jumbo perc...

Walleyes have been in the river since we've had good ice to get out on. Most nights/mornings we are about to ice 4-8 walleyes per person. Like anything some days are better and some are worst. The past few days, marking lots of fish on the vexilars and hummingbirds. Just having a tough time getting them to eat. If your marking fish you’...

Panfish are still the main attraction but walleye and pike are not to be taken of the hit list.
With plenty of ice on area lakes anglers are getting out and having good action on all species of fish. Panfish have been biting well on small tear drop ice jigs in 4 to 8 feet of water around weed beds. Work all the levels of the water colu...

With the recent warm spell ice conditions are not what they usually are at this time of the year here in Central Wisconsin. Even with that said you should always be aware of the safety hazards that come into play when travelling out onto the ice.
When heading out onto the ice you should take into c...

Ferryville is experiencing an “open winter,” but the ice fishing here on the Mississippi River is fantastic and there has been a traffic jam at more than one location. Just north of Ferryville and above the Hwy 35/82 bridge is De Soto Bay. I couldn’t believe the number of people on the ice today and they are really...

One trip will get you “hooked” on Mercer with over 214 lakes in a 30 mile radius – including the 14,000 acre Turtle Flambeau Flowage- you are sure to have a different adventure each time. Mercer is located in Iron County in the "very north" woods of Wisconsin.

January 12, 2012. Walleye fishing is still slow in the Phillips area. Fishermen are catching some nice pike on tip-ups around the last of the green weeds. Setting a golden shiner a foot or so below the ice has been getting the best action. Reports of 30 to mid 30" pike are coming into Ross's Sport Shop. Bluegill action has been the...
