9/24/2014 6:40:00 PMWell after enduring some brutal wind on Friday and Sunday...not to nice on Saturday either, looks like a gorgeous week of weather ahead. Lows only in the low 50's, highs in the 70's and lots of color to look at! Smallmouth Bass: Good-Very good.

9/22/2014 11:05:00 AMDelavan Lake remains pretty spotty. The best bite on the lake remains the bluegills. The smallmouth are starting to heat up though. The boat traffic on the lake is almost non-existent. Bluegill fishing has been very good in the 13-15 ft depth range or suspended the main lake basin 15 ft down in 40 ft of water. The sus...

9/22/2014 11:05:00 AMOverall the fishing on Lake Geneva has been difficult. The typical patterns on the lake are not available which makes the fish very scattered and hard to catch. When you do get on the game fish, they are typically less than 15 inches. The smallmouth bass are in 15-22 ft of water. They can be caught on lindy rigged nightcrawlers o...

9/22/2014 10:55:00 AMCentral Wisconsin was the place to be if you were headed into the outdoors last week. With that said it looks as though things are shaping up for another banner fall season on the water and in the woods. Hunters had good success in the woods with the opener of the 2014 deer archery season. A few nice deer were taken like the ni...

9/17/2014 11:45:00 AMThe writer, Wayne Morgenthaler with a 35 pound sturgeon after his friend caught a 90 pound fish earlier. We have had plenty of rain but the good side is that most of it has been absorbed by the soil. Trout streams remain normal with Sept 30th being the end of the season. Trout are biting on all types of bait with some nice 17 in...

9/17/2014 11:40:00 AMA very cold first half of September has lake temps dropping quickly from averages of 71-73 degrees just two weeks ago to surface temps plummeting to the 57-59 degree average. Certain species are still active, while fishing for some others has nearly come to a complete halt. Crappies: Fair-Good (and improving). Big slabs of 12-14"...
-
9/17/2014 11:30:00 AMDespite the high water Ross's Sport Shop Guides are still putting their clients on fish. We are finding Crappie in 10 to 30 feet of water and catching them with plastics or minnows on jigs, Walleye have moved into the higher current areas of the lakes, Ross's Sport Shop guides have been catching most of their walleye on Bottom Feeder Tackle Jigs an...

9/17/2014 11:20:00 AMDelavan Lake is in a transition period from the summer pattern to the fall pattern. Fishing has been slow due to the tremendous cold front that hit last week. I’ve gone from double digit catches of game fish down to single digit and have been seeing only the smaller fish. With some stable weather fishing will improve. The b...
-
9/17/2014 11:20:00 AMDue to the severe cold fronts this past week, fishing is pretty slow. The best bite on the lake has been the bluegills in 15-20 ft of water. The smallmouth bass and largemouth bass remain scattered throughout the water column and a consistent pattern is non-existent right now. Bluegill fishing has been average in 15-20 ft of water.&nbs...

9/9/2014 1:45:00 PMDue to the cool weather, fishing on Geneva has remained relatively slow. Most of the action has been coming in shallow waters, 6-10 ft deep. Largemouth bass have been biting in Geneva Bay, Trinkes and Abbey Harbor. Most of the fish are coming in and around the boats. Use a split shot rig nightcrawler or an All Terrain Stik ...
-
9/9/2014 1:45:00 PMThe cooler water has decreased the boat traffic on the water, unfortunately it seems to have made the bite decrease as well. There isn’t a whole lot of consistent bites right now. The northern pike are still probably the best bet. They can be caught on the weedlines in 8-105 ft of water. Look for the pike to be about 4 ft d...

9/9/2014 1:40:00 PMSteve Suman This week shows a turn to cooler weather following a beautiful weekend – that followed a severe storm that moved through the Hayward area last Thursday morning. For now, the coming weekend looks to be a dry one. “Muskie fishing is slow,” says Pat at Happy Hooker, “but a few anglers are catching fish. &ldq...

9/3/2014 4:30:00 PMSteve Suman Looks like very pleasant weather to start September, with warm days and cool nights (one in the 40s!), though chances for showers increase toward the end of the week. Pat at Happy Hooker says muskie anglers should work bucktails, spinnerbaits, topwaters, and gliders along breaks and weed edges. “Fish walleyes in weeds...

9/3/2014 4:25:00 PMFall fishing! The start of good things for anglers in the Northwoods for the next 6-8 weeks. While we have nice surface temps for early fall angling (70-73 deg. Aug.), lots of rain and high water are changing some patterns and the availability of some of our most popular fall bait. Smallmouth Bass: Good-Very good. Anglers finding smalli...
-
9/3/2014 4:25:00 PMEven though we had some early week thunderstorms and heavy rains, the fishing remain excellent. With the passing of Labor Day, the pleasure boat traffic should begin to decrease making it and optimal time to go fishing. Largemouth bass remain in the shallow water. They can be caught on nightcrawlers fished on a split shot rig, slip bob...
-
9/3/2014 4:25:00 PMFishing remains slower than normal for this time of year. The tight schools of smallmouth are few and far between. Hopefully after the Labor Day holiday and the pace of the pleasure boat decreases, the overall success for anglers will increase. Smallmouth bass fishing has been slower than normal the entire summer. A successful tr...
