Fishing Report (Green Bay) Week Ending 4-21-12



45" Pike
Out on the bay of Green bay fishing is definitely heating up!  Most of the fish are spawned out. Fishing has been very good on the east shore north of Bay Shore Park.  Fish of all types are feeding on a very large population of perch, you will notice these schools on your graph and will probably snag a few with your crank baits, when you find perch fish well below, the school near bottom is your best bet.


Brown Trout
Crank baits continue to be the top producers with water temps in the high-40s. The main producers were storm Thunder Stick Juniors in metallic blues and perch, Thunder Stick deep diving stick baits in uv green and perch, and Flicker Shads gold and red colors. I have tried some spinner harnesses, but had limited success.

As aforementioned, the water temps have been in the 48-49 degree range but the bad weather we experienced on Thursday night has had a negative effect on water temps making them come down by 2 or 3 degrees. Look for the fish to move deeper and trying to find dirty water that is warmer like by river mouths and back bays that have mud like Vokes point and Geanos reef. Fishing has been fair at night but the action has been better around 3pm till just into the dark. Most of the fish this week 6 lbs up to 9 lbs have been coming at this time. If you want to try for bigger fish earlier in the day before 3pm your best shot is to fish the second or 3rd break watching your electronics for signs of life trolling between 1.1 to 1.3mph with cranks to cover water. The fish both shallow and deep continue to be spooky make sure your boards are far from the boat.
