Fishing Report (Green Bay) Week Ending 5/13/12

Nice Catch!

Fishing on the Bay of Green bay is on fire. Night fishing with 2 clients this week took just 2 to 3 hours of fishing to limit out on walleye. Most of the fish came on crank baits but the spinner crawler harnesses are starting to produce. Day fishing continues to heat up on the mud flats just out of the rivers but slowed down a little because of the heavy rains. The East Shore continues to produce small fish with bigger fish coming at night. Suamico Bay is a little slower than Genos Reef area.

Walleye Dinner!

Gold blades seem to produce fish when the crank baits slow down but cranks continue to produce the best. Hot colors are fire tiger, perch, and natural shad. Top bait for day fishing is Shad Rap and Flicker shads. Night baits includes dark backed deep diving rattling rogues and Rapala husky jerks.

Water temps are reaching 55 to 58 degrees. Top trolling speeds are 1.2 to 1.4 on cranks with slower speeds on spinners. Good luck fishing!

Fishing report (Green Bay) week ending 4-15-12

           This week we found a very good night bite that was successful on the East shore near Bay Shore. You should find good success with eaters using shad raps, flicker shads, and stickbaits taking the larger fish. Trolling was the most successful option with speeds of .9 to 1.3 at the top end. Remember to always troll in 's' pattern to change it up the speed and location of the bait.

Day fishing has been a little tougher with fish coming out of the rivers from the spawn. Still trolling but successful speeds were more at the 1.5 range many small fish with just an occasional large fish thrown in.

Water temps were at 48 to 49 degrees winds were mostly out of the East. Still getting some pre-spawn fish but not as many as a week ago, mostly post spawn fish were caught. The best colors were natural bass, perch and firetiger.  Most fish came in 14 feet of water; they were also very spooky and the boards needed to go far away from the boat at about 150 feet minimum.
