Will next week’s Winnebago assault drifting and throwing crankbaits fool the walleyes”?
Speaking of trips, when the real work is done with this issue, I’m heading to the Winnebago system next week again with friend Jim Olsson in an attempt to teach the same lesson to the walleyes that we taught them last year. You may remember we drifted and threw crankbaits on the backside of sweltering weather and caught 15 walleyes to 25 inches. We’ll be trying an upriver lake first, and if we don’t score we will slip down into Winnebago and try, try again.
Phil Schweik buddy Bob Charlier caught this 52 inch musky this week.
As usual our Outdoor News sections and Inland Fishing page is hot with news and reports. Guide Phil Schweik of Hooksetters Fishing Service, for example, shows a 52 inch musky taken last week with a whole lot more. Check out Dave Duwe’s reports from Geneva and Delavan, and news from Rice Lake, Washburn County, Minocqua, Hayward Lakes, Price County, Ashland, Richland County, etc. etc. etc.
There are a lot of Wisconsin guides showing us a lot of tactics and catches on these pages every week. If you’re a guide looking for a little attention with whatever is hot on your local water, no matter where that might be, send photos, reports, stories, and of course your contact information and we will post it right here for you. No charge. Again, thank our advertisers.

Also, Bob’s Bear Bait has left the strawberry items detailed below on sale, and added three new baits as sale items this week. Bob’s Bear Bait of Appleton, the largest bear bait supplier in east-central Wisconsin and conveniently located close to Highway 41, carries over 50 different, competitively-priced baits for your baiting needs. Connect with www.BobsBearBait.com every Tuesday to see new bait merchandise on sale, and don’t forget to check out their in-store bait specials.
“Not only do we sell bait, we also sell bear scent lures which can be purchased online,” said Bob’s Bear Bait owner Bob Spierings. “On June 16th we will be putting strawberry topping on sale as one example of how we are serving the hunters right up and through the September season. It is a very effective bait when the wild strawberries are growing naturally in the woods.”
And thank you for connecting with On Wisconsin Outdoors. Shoot straight.
