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 4/28/12

Kids love to fish, too!

This week the fishing was good, but the bite has changed up a little. Fish are starting to find warmer water. Look for scattered walleyes in very shallow water during the day and night. Most the time it is typical for me to find one walleye that will give away a school. Troll a little faster to contact fish looking for a bite or a hooked fish then turn the boat around and go through the school much slower to trigger more strikes. Currently, I have been fishing mostly the East shoreline until a Judas fish gives away the school and tells me what to use and where they are. Most of the schools are relating the baitfish not structure.  Again, troll faster than normal, 1.5 to 1.8mph, until contact is made, then slow down (1mph to 1.2).

Walleyes for dinner in the nighttime fog!

Most of the action has been in the day due to the color of water I am fishing. Night fishing has had some success but not enough to commit a lot of time to. Top crank baits have been Storm Thunderstick Jr. in natural colors, Shad raps with a shad color, and of course fire tiger. Most of the fish at night have been coming on dark backed Thundersticks.
