6/10/2013 10:45:00 AMBy Wayne Morgenthaler The backwaters of the Wisconsin River near Lone Rock are producing good crappie action. They have been biting on pink and white jigs fished during early morning or evening hours. Cloudy days with a little wind are the best. Bluegills are starting to pick up using wax worms with small bobber fished in openings of lily pa...

6/10/2013 9:50:00 AMThe crappies right now are all the rage. They are in the shallows and biting. Find the cover the crappies like to spawn in and you will have fun catching right now. Throwing bobbers rigged with a small jig head and crappie minnow are sure to entice just about any spawner into biting. If you prefer the plastics, they are biting on those as well. F...

6/7/2013 5:00:00 PMRecent rains have water levels very high and dirty causing a lot of the river related fish to relocate to backwater areas. Walleyes have been very active in 4 to 8 feet of water following the recent rains. Jig and minnow combinations in non current areas has been the ticket this past week. Bass action has been very good on the main lake areas...

6/7/2013 4:15:00 PMBy, Dave Hraychuck The last week or so rain suits have been as important as bait, rods, and reels! Cool weather and lots of rain have made fishing difficult here in northwestern Wisconsin but not impossible. On the days when the sun does come out, look out! Walleyes are off the new weed edges. Jigs and leeches or slip bobbers and leeches see...

6/7/2013 4:00:00 PMWind, Rain, Cold – Nothing is Stopping the Fish Hi Folks – Even with all the weird weather, the fishing continues to thump. With the exception of a couple of days last week, walleyes continue to provide anglers with good action. The past three days we boated 150 walleyes despite thunderstorms and then frost the other mornin...

6/6/2013 11:50:00 AMBy: Steve Suman Our non-typical spring has offered a few (very infrequent) warm, humid days – and the forecast for this week simply shows more of the mild/moist/cool weather. All we can do is make the best of it – it certainly appears the biting bugs are doing just that! “With the continuing cool spring weather, we are still at ...

6/5/2013 12:50:00 PMI thought we were in the clear, but Mother Nature has her own ideas. Wind switches and cold temps have confused fish and fishermen alike. It’s been tough getting a handle on the bites as things seem to be in a constant state of change here in the Northwoods. Pike: Good to Very good. This species seems to not mind the cooler than usual temps ...

6/4/2013 9:55:00 AMPanfishing continues to be great in the shallows, both Crappie and Bluegill are shallow and hitting well. Walleye fishing is still ok, with a lot of 10 to 14 inch fish being caught, some are still shallow and some are sliding back into 10 to 15 feet water, minnows seem to be the choice bait yet but the leech bite is getting better fast. ...

6/3/2013 1:00:00 PMAs long as the weather keeps warming, the fishing keeps improving daily. This past week we had significant SW winds which made most of the lake unfishable. I’ve been catching most of my fish from the Abbey Springs area to the Military Academy. Rock bass are in the shallows in 10-15 ft of water. The best approach is a split shot r...
-
6/3/2013 12:55:00 PMFishing remains above average overall. Most of the fish remain in the shallow waters, under 10 ft for the most part. The best bite on the lake is Bluegills and Largemouth bass. Crappie fishing has been above average by Belvidere Park or by Brown Channel. The best depth has been 7-10 ft of water on the weedline. You want to ...

6/3/2013 12:10:00 PMBy Wayne Morgenthaler The backwaters of the Wisconsin River near Lone Rock are producing some nice bluegills. Fishing was great with the fly rod and a tantalizing rubber spider. The northern pike action is picking up and a great time to find some nice size ones. I like spinners with buck tails in colors of orange or green. Trout acti...

5/30/2013 12:55:00 PMGood walleye bite on the Wisconsin River right now with anglers picking up nice fish in 8 to 12 feet of water associated with current breaks and downed timber. I run Rick Jaroch's weedless Rickee lead head jigs tipped with fathead minnows right on the bottom, and right in the wood for the best action. Nap Pozulp from Chicago with a n...

5/30/2013 12:35:00 PMDear Winnebago Sturgeon Enthusiasts: Our busy spring field season has wound down and my staff and I have now had a chance to catch our breath and process some of the data we collected this spring. As a result, I have drafted a synopsis outlining the results of our sturgeon spawning assessments. In a nutshell: the spawning run was very ...

5/29/2013 9:50:00 AMHad to be on a Holiday Weekend when fishing shut down around here! After a few weeks of excellent walleye, very good pike, crappie fishing, east by southeast winds moved in bringing cold and dropping water temperatures by 6 to 8 degrees on average and pretty much shutting down most of our hot action. Musky: Good. The one bright spot. Reports of go...

Ross's Sport Shop customers were reporting great Crappie action on most area lakes, Crappie are in the shallow wood and are being taken on white plastics pulled along under a float or on jig and minnow under a float. Fish are holding tight to cover so get c...

And, it was preventable' Warden Michael Young of Shiocton wrote this column long before dawn on April 18, 2011. Hours earlier he helped pull his good friend's body from the river. The images from the river’s edge and the haunt...

5/28/2013 2:30:00 PMThis has been one of the coldest springs I can recall. The smallmouth bass are just starting to spawn and most years they would be totally done by now. Overall fishing has been improving daily with the warmer weather. Rock bass are starting to show up everywhere around the lake in 7-12 ft of water. The best approach is a split sh...
-
5/28/2013 2:25:00 PMFishing is really very good and improving daily. The bass and bluegills spawn is mere days away. Most fish are starting to move into the shallows in 1-2 ft of water. Boat traffic for this time of year is still very low due to the cool water temps. Bluegill fishing is improving daily. The heavy spawn should happen within the...
