12/14/2017 10:00:00 AMA little taste of things to come. Enough ice in places for anglers to get out on ice, but caution still advised no matter where you go. Walleye: Very Good – Anglers using tip-ups baited with river shiners, Walleye suckers on medium golden in fairly shallow water (5-8’) at dusk, after dark. Early ice aggressive fish hi...

12/14/2017 9:50:00 AMFinally… a cool-down and we are making some safe ice. Lakes in the central Wisconsin area are finally starting to get a few inches of ice and anglers are starting to get out. We are seeing anywhere from 2 to 4 inches of ice on most bodies of water with the exception of the river system, which for the most part remains open all ye...

12/6/2017 10:25:00 AMContinued warm weather (for late Nov/early Dec) and wind has been keeping ice anglers at bay waiting for things to get safe. An example: the Bay of Minocqua, across from the shop, has now froze over…and opened up, for the 5th time this season. The near future looks good as Monday’s (12/4) highs in the 50&rsq...

11/29/2017 11:05:00 AMWeather just can’t make up its mind. Temps keep dipping above and below the freezing mark making things difficult for both ice and open water anglers to figure out what to do. Musky anglers still heading out (Season open thru Thursday 11/30) but not a lot of success. Some landings either froze in or too slippery to launch, b...

11/22/2017 11:20:00 AMWhile most outdoorsmen ( and women) focus is on deer season (pretty quiet out there), Mother Nature has been toying with the ice anglers for the past two weeks. Just enough ice forms on some bays and small lakes to lure anglers out, then one day in the 40’s or strong winds blow it all out. A few areas have held enough ice for angl...

11/14/2017 3:30:00 PMIt will be touch and go for a while on the ice fishing. As in, “touch” the ice with your chisel, if it cracks “GO”! Get off of there Daytime temps in the low 30’s with night time temps in the mid 20’s to upper teens by next week will mean ice making conditions will be tenuous at best. Where ice...

11/14/2017 3:15:00 PMA firm cold stretch with some snow and wind mixed in has marked the arrival of Novemberrrrr! Skim ice on small ponds is showing and water temps continue to fall. Large to mid-sized lakes reporting surface temps of 41-46 degrees. Smaller lakes below the 40 degree mark. Musky: Good – Action on suckers always best at this time of y...
-
11/14/2017 3:05:00 PMSnow is on the ground and the temperatures have plummeted, but the fishing remains very good. Some area lakes and streams are freezing up but the Wisconsin River is still open and accessible. Now with a lot of guys getting prepared for the upcoming gun season we basically have the water to ourselves. We have been having great action on ...
-
11/7/2017 8:45:00 AMWow how things can change… This past week we have seen a drastic drop in the water temperatures and the bite has really changed as far as technique over the past couple of days. The big deer are on the move and plenty of beautiful bucks have been taken, myself included. With water temperatures now in the upper 30 degree range we hav...

11/7/2017 8:30:00 AM11/6/17- Reported by AAA Sports Well the weekend started out with some serious Muskie fishing people coming in. Tthey were dressed for the arctic! Not sure how well they did, but they ordered more suckers for this weekend. Trapping season is underway: Beaver, mink, muskrat, raccoons, fox and coyote. We've taken a lot of deer ...

10/31/2017 3:55:00 PMLenny Young and Pete Limberatos hit the whitebass right during a recent trip to the Winnebago Chain. According to Young, the two used flies and minnows on ultralight. “We caught many doubles using a bare fly 2 feet out and a gold hook with a minnow at 4 feet out from a triple swivel and 18 inches of line with three-quarter ounce...

10/31/2017 3:50:00 PMDropping water temperatures and an increase in water flow have made for a perfect combination for excellent fall fishing in the central Wisconsin area. The fish are putting on the fall feedbag and it is only going to get better as we move forward. We have had a great week of catching nice muskies, walleyes, crappies and even a few big b...

10/20/2017 9:00:00 AMLuke from Anglers All reports: Fall is definitely here. We have had a beautiful autumn week in the Chequamegon Bay Area. Local rivers are coming down. There should also be some good mudlines forming up out in the lake for those looking to troll. Fishing the edges of those mudlines can be very productive. Some of the best trolling o...
-
10/20/2017 8:50:00 AMLooking at the forecast for this week, we can expect a sunny and dry week. Temperatures during the day will be in the high 50’s, but by the weekend, we will see daytime temperatures in the 70’s.

10/20/2017 8:50:00 AMSome real fall weather reached the Northwoods! Cold nights, some wind, rain, as a result – some falling water temps. Musky: Good-Very Good – Not a great season for numbers, but some very nice fish. While suckers have accounted for the majority of fish, artificials, especially jointed cranks (48”) and 8&r...
-
10/13/2017 2:25:00 PMWell a little rain and some cooler temperatures really makes a difference. The walleye bite is getting better and better by the day as well as the action for muskies really turning on. Water temperatures have finally fallen to the mid 50 degree range and should continue that downward slope as we head further into fall. Deer hunt...

10/10/2017 3:15:00 PMOctober 9, 2017 Steve Suman Clear, cool (frost!), and mostly dry weather appears to be in store for the Hayward area this week. The forecasts make only slight mention of rain chances for late in the week and weekend. Get out now and enjoy these mostly mild temperatures while they exist – it will not last forever! “Wea...
-
10/10/2017 3:05:00 PMCooler temperatures have definitely sparked the fall fishing. Water temperatures are finally dropping and action has picked up for all species. Bear hunters are coming into their final week of bear season and hunters are still giving it their best to tag that bruin. The musky action has seen the most dramatic increase with a lot of success...
-
10/6/2017 7:50:00 AMFollowing a weekend of record highs, temps mellowed out only to be rising by this past weekend. After todays (10/3) highs of nearly 70 degrees, the next two weeks look to be in the 50’s – 60’s. Good news for musky anglers. Walleye: Very Good-Fair – Early in week Walleye catches were great with lots o...
-
10/1/2017 12:50:00 PMWell it is finally over… Summer that is, but by the way Mother Nature is treating us you would never know it. The past few days we have had the warmest temperatures of the year, and with that the fishing and hunting have felt it too. We have seen a decrease in activity both on the water and in the woods Bear hunters especial...

9/25/2017 11:05:00 AMWith the exceptionally cool August, September has been exceptionally warm which has caused surface temperature fluctuations of 10-15 degrees. The fish don’t really know what pattern they should be following! We have some fall patterns working well but some of the summer patterns are being re-established. Walleye fishing was impro...
-
9/25/2017 11:05:00 AMWe have had exceptionally warm weather in the past week so the summer pattern for fishing continues. Those fish that had already moved to the fall patterns are very confused! Smallmouth bass have been on the main lake points like Black Point, Conference Point and Cedar Point. They have been in a depth range of 20-25 ft. They can ...

9/20/2017 7:10:00 AMWhat could go wrong? By Wayne Morgenthaler Trout season starts out in May for catch and keep. This is a wonderful time to fish, as the weeds along the creeks are all knocked down. Now fast forward to September. My buddy says let’s go to one of his favorite holes, and we will try to get one of those big browns. I am a...
