7/5/2012 12:10:00 PMBy Professional Guide John Ross The walleye bite has slowed a bit on Phillips Area Waters but the bluegill and perch action is making up for it! Ross's Sport Shop Guide boats are still bringing in nice mixed bag catches. Were not bringing in limits of walleyes but we are pulling a couple of nice eaters every trip and adding some quality gills and ...

7/5/2012 11:40:00 AMBy Frank Zumpf, Local Outdoorsman It’s been hot in the Rice Lake area and the fishing has been the same. The bass fishing has been good, with several clubs holding tournaments on Rice Lake. This has increased the boat traffic. I hope there will still be a place for the recreational fisherman and that safe boat handling an...

6/28/2012 10:55:00 AMBy Local Outdoorsman Frank Zumpf Now that the rains have stopped and we have the lake levels up it’s time to fish. Local anglers have been doing well on bass.

The best location has been by the Military Academ...

6/28/2012 9:45:00 AMFishing on Delavan Lake has been fantastic. Almost all of the species of fish are biting. The only thing that hampered fishing last week was the strong SW wind, but if you could manage the wind, you could catch fish. Walleye fishing has been good at dusk and dawn. They are positioned on the main lake points in about 20-22 ft of w...

6/25/2012 12:45:00 PMBy Professional Guide Jerry “Jerkbait” Hartigan The walleye bite on the Flowage has been very scattered over the last week with lots of storms coming through each day. Walleye are still hitting half a crawler on a weedless jig mostly in wood flats in 8 to 10ft of water. I did pick up some fish in 14ft and also got some bigg...

6/22/2012 11:45:00 AMGary Engberg Outdoor If you have not fished Lake Winnebago, then you are missing out on one of Wisconsin’s premier walleye waters which seems to be just getting better and better every year. Lake Winnebago is the largest inland lake in the state of Wisconsin, encompassing 137,708 acres with a maximum depth of 21 feet. This breaks down to a l...

6/21/2012 4:20:00 PMThis past week has been pretty good for walleye activity. A lot of nice fish are being caught in 10 to 14 feet of water along deep weed edges on jigs tipped with minnows. We are also seeing some nice fish coming on crankbaits like Rapalas and Bombers late in the day as they move up shallower in the weeds. Kevin Meyers with a ni...

6/20/2012 12:10:00 PMBy Professional Guide Jeff Winters We’ve been taking everything Mother Nature can throw at us the past 2 weeks. Wind, rain, lightening, 50+ degree temperature swings – we’ve seen it all. We still caught fish through all of it. You had to search out your bites and be patient. We are now coming out of most of the mayfly hatch and t...

6/20/2012 11:55:00 AMBy Professional Guide Kenny Wallock Before fishing could resume, my fishing partner, Dave Kinney and I put away our fishing poles for one day, hung up our fishing hats, cleaned up the pontoons, and watched with many guests as Jason and Sherry Szymkowiak were married on the Stevens Point Flowage. Jason calls the flowage home for fishing, hunt...

6/19/2012 12:05:00 PMBy Professional Guide Kurt Justice Summer patterns have begun to set up. Daily changes in the weather may alter bites here and there, but overall, things look fairly consistent with a late June/early July bite. Pike: Very good. Anglers targeting pike have been having good success casting shallow raps, ratllin raps, chatterbaits ...

6/19/2012 11:55:00 AMBy Steve Suman If the forecast holds true for the latter part of this week, the 63rd Annual Musky Festival should enjoy good weather. There are ‘chances’ of rain, but for most days, odds are 50-50 or better against it. “Water temperature are in the upper to mid 60s on most lakes, the low 60s on large lakes, and weed beds are dev...

6/19/2012 10:30:00 AMFishing on Delavan Lake has been fantastic. You need to get to the lake early because the fishing pressure has been extraordinary from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. The best bite continues to be the largemouth bass and bluegills. The bluegills are in 12-14 ft of water and the largemouth bass are in about 12-15 ft of water. Largemouth bass can...

6/15/2012 1:55:00 PMBy Professional Guide Jerry “Jerkbait” Hartigan I have spent the last week with different writers and a TV show trying to show them how good the fishing is in Mercer Wisconsin but the weather and the fish were not very cooperative. 30MPH winds seem to persist for days with a front that went from the 90's one day to a high of 60 t...

6/12/2012 11:30:00 AMBy Professional Guide Kurt Justice Wind once again has made angling difficult here in the Northwoods. Water temps are climbing and most everything is still 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule. Bluegills: Excellent! Biggest drawback is wind. Gills spawning all over. Large colonies of beds. Poppers on fly rods or behind spinni...

6/12/2012 11:15:00 AMBy Wayne Morgenthaler The vegetation is starting to get very thick for this time of the year on the Mississippi River backwater. June seems to be like July. To travel in the backwaters takes more effort but the outdoor scenery is magnificent and quiet. The birds and frogs and the occasional splash in the water from beaver fill th...
