9/5/2012 2:25:00 PMBy Gary Engberg In the month of August and even into September you would often have some of the warmest temperatures of the year. We’ve had high temperatures (95-100 degrees), little or no precipitation, and high humidity. This isn’t the greatest weather for anyone being outside, but there are some things to do to make you feel better ...

9/5/2012 1:50:00 PMBy Professional Guide Jerry “Jerkbait” Hartigan Well I am finally able to do a fishing report again after two computer malfunctions that put me out of business for a while. The last three days I have been out on the Turtle Flambeau Flowage each day. The walleyes have been in about 12 ft. of water on flats with scattered woo...

8/30/2012 9:00:00 AMBy Wayne Morgenthaler I was out the day after we had an inch of rain and the trout streams were very murky. The Panther Martin size 2 spinner in silver was my offering of choice. Since the water visibility was very limited for the fish, I let the spinner sink near the bottom and retrieved slowly. This proved to be the right combinatio...

8/29/2012 8:50:00 AMBy Professional Guide Kurt Justice Despite the warming weather for late August, fishing for some species has improved, though not in the areas and techniques usually used at this time.

8/28/2012 3:25:00 PMBy Professional Guide Jeff Winters WOW! August is sure slipping by fast. This entire month has pretty much been a cold front. Water temps have fallen into the upper sixties now and this drop has had effects on fishing. The top fish right now is MUSKY. These prized fish have responded very well to the cooler temps. There has been a very pronounced ...

8/28/2012 2:50:00 PMBy Professional Guide John Carlson Water temps are holding in the mid 70's and the Panfish and Musky are very active. The Panfish are being found scattered from shallow to deep. Fallen trees on deeper shorelines are giving up some really nice sized gills. We are also getting some gills out of 12 to 15 feet of water around cribs and other deep wate...

8/28/2012 11:40:00 AMWalleye angler and OWO contributor Ron Klimcke found the evening bite good on the Chippewa Flowage for Walleye August 27. “I was using a Kluz Jig which has a longer collar than the standard collared jig tipped with a minnow,” Klimcke said. “I started off drifting as there was a light breeze but missed a few fish so I decide...

8/28/2012 11:20:00 AMWith the holiday weekend coming up, the boat traffic has dropped significantly but fishing remains excellent. Most of the fish are on the deep weedline in 20-25 ft of water.

Largemouth bass are on the main lake points, they can be caught either drop shotting or trolling a lindy rig with a nightcrawler. The key is a 24 inch leader. Most of the act...

8/27/2012 12:45:00 PMBy Steve Suman Early fall fishing is starting to hit stride and a number of hunting seasons are set to open in the near future (check the calendar). “We have a strong early morning, evening, and night pattern going now,” says Pat at Happy Hooker, “so it is good to plan some evening and early morning fishing. The warmer water tem...

8/21/2012 3:15:00 PMBy Wayne Morgenthaler Colder Mornings Bringing Water Temperature down Now that we are getting cooler temperatures in the morning, the backwater fishing action is much better in the evening. I usually like about two hours before sunset. The other night I had a nice bluegill on when a northern hit it. The pike would let it go then...

8/21/2012 2:10:00 PMBy Professional Guide Kurt Justice For a portion of last week, fishing really seemed to take a dive. With a few exceptions it didn’t seem it could get much worse, but it did. Night time temps in the low 40’s have started some sugar maple trees turning, daytime surface temps on larger lakes hovering around 69-71 degrees while smaller la...

Now, the ext...

8/21/2012 11:50:00 AMFishing on Lake Geneva continues to be excellent with very light boat traffic in the morning. It certainly isn’t seeing the same amount of fishing pressure that Lake Delavan is experiencing. Largemouth bass are on the deep weedline in 18-20 ft of water. The fish are being caught using three different methods. The first is C...
-
8/21/2012 11:45:00 AMFishing continues to be above average on Delavan Lake. The bass are hitting well and the bluegills are also a tremendous bite right now. The boat traffic is still pretty high, but with school starting in the next week or two it should decrease significantly. Bluegills continue to bite in 30 ft of water suspended 10-15 ft down. Th...

Largemouth Bass are very active and we did ...

8/15/2012 3:20:00 PMBy Wayne Morgenthaler Now that we are getting cooler temperatures in the morning, the backwater fishing action is slowing down. Fishing from shore on the Wisconsin backwaters is best done with a small ice fishing jig tipped with a waxworm attached about a foot below a small bobber. Just remember to fish the edges of lily pads or dead t...

8/14/2012 1:10:00 PMBy Professional Guide Kurt Justice Mid-August is showing some signs of turning things around for anglers targeting certain species. While the cool nights have slowed the bite for some in the Lakeland area - in general fishing overall has improved. Musky: Good to Very Good. Action on bucktails, spinnerbaits and top-water lures pi...
