2/7/2013 5:10:00 PMToday, as thousands of years ago, winter spearing of lake sturgeon is as much about family and friends getting together to renew their traditions and pass them on to the next generation as it is about big fish. See and hear some of the stories in Sturgeon Week Day 5, Sturgeon Culture.

2/7/2013 4:40:00 PMBy Professional Guide Dennis Walker BIG GREEN LAKE UPDATE; The Big snow storm has come and is now gone. We got 8 to 10 inches of snow on top of 5 to 6 inches of ice. It was all wet enough to soak up most of the snow. So now with the real cold weather we are now having everything is freezing up. We now have very good ice conditions. This weekend wi...

2/7/2013 10:05:00 AMBy Wayne Morgenthaler Fishing was good again on the backwaters but you’re still looking for more fish very late in the day. The best bite is still the last hour before darkness. The snow on top has not changed the pattern when the fish are hungry. Sunfish have been around 6 to 8 inches and the crappies around 10 inches. Th...

2/6/2013 12:25:00 PMWith plenty of ice on our local waters many anglers are getting out and searching out new territory as the season progresses. The walleye bite has been good especially after dark. We are seeing our best action on golden shiners run about a foot off the bottom in 3 to 6 feet of water. Northern pike have been really active this winter and this past...

2/6/2013 11:55:00 AMFebruary 5, 2013 By: Joanne M. Haas/Bureau of Law Enforcement Warden: Tips from public important, can stay anonymous The Trempealeau County over-bagger took to the water early and alone. Shielded by silence, the man caught blue gills day-after-day from Pool 4 of the Mississippi River near Alma. After careful preparation, the filets were placed ...

2/5/2013 5:00:00 PMOnly 4 more days until the start of the 2013 Sturgeon Spear Fishery, and trust me when I say that it will be here before you know it. Our staff was out yesterday checking water clarity at a few locations along the East Shore of Lake Winnebago, and overall clarity is down from what we had experienced over the last few years. We decided t...

2/5/2013 4:10:00 PMOSHKOSH, Wis. -- People preparing for the opening of the 2013 sturgeon spearing season on the Lake Winnebago system are being cautioned that ice conditions are highly variable, ranging from more than a foot of ice down to open water still remaining in some areas. “Ice conditions are variable, not only among the upriver lakes but on Lake Winn...

2/5/2013 2:20:00 PMThese reports are so much easier to write when fishing is good! Real cold and high pressure kept the bite down again. Anglers experience much of the same as they did the week before – fish very negative and not in the mood to bite. We had been spoiled with all of the thin ice and good fishing. Actually this isn’t...

2/5/2013 2:10:00 PMThe Sno-gypsies snowmobile club held their annual fisheree this past Saturday on Butternut Lake. Cold air temperatures and a high pressure system greeted anglers fishing the early morning hours. The temperatures warmed throughout the day but the fishing success didn't. I talked with anglers, many who brought their families out for a day on the ice...

2/5/2013 10:05:00 AMBy John Luthens February mornings in Wisconsin are dawning earlier. The glow in the eastern sky is getting steadily stronger as the sun shifts from its winter hibernation. And the groundhogs come out of their holes on the second day of the month to take a chance on the weather, possibly to welcome an early spring- or possibly to go bac...

2/4/2013 4:15:00 PMThe panfish were a little harder to get to bite the last few but they still can be caught. Gills have moved off the cribs and we are getting them on the mud bottom areas of the lake in 18 to 25 feet of water. The Crappie are in the same areas, I have been using spikes or waxies on small heavy jigs for the Gills and Ratsos for the Crappie. Walleye ...

2/4/2013 11:35:00 AMBy Dick Ellis If a picture is worth 1000 words, I don’t have to bore you with 17,000 words now that we posted a ton of photos from our ice assault Sunday on Moose Lake in Waukesha County. And what does that story tell? Well, flags flew, and so did the snow, venison steaks sizzled on the grill, fish were caught, and the proverbial bull...

1/30/2013 11:55:00 AMCrappie fishing has been good, the early springs the last few years have been great to the Crappie and Bluegill population, Plastics are still my go to bait, but reports of people catching a good number of fish on Waxies, and Minnows as well. Small spoons like Swedish Pimples or Little Cecil tipped with a Gulp minnow head are doing good for me at t...

1/30/2013 8:30:00 AMAfter last week’s frigid temps ice thickness has really increased. The snow we had last weekend will help with foot travel BUT we now have freezing rain and warm temps which may cause some slush to develop. The weather is predicted to get very cold by the end of the week. Ice travel by vehicle or foot should be good as everything should freez...

1/29/2013 3:25:00 PMBy Wayne Morgenthaler The ice on the backwaters of the Wisconsin River is about 10 inches thick. It is much easier to walk out as most sloughs are frozen. There is not much snow on the top so I would suggest wearing ice cleats. The best fish bite is the last hour before sunset or the first hour after sunrise. Oth...

1/29/2013 12:40:00 PMBy John Luthens When I first ran into Andrew Drasch, I was ahead of schedule. It looked like I was going to get to work early for a change, but it turned out I rolled into the job site later than usual; which is to say, early enough to not get fired but late enough to bounce that possibility around the shop floor a few times. It was just a quick ...
