Fishing Report (Green Bay) Week Ending 6/16/2012

The walleyes are starting to get into the summer peak patterns. The bite is much tougher than has been in the last several weeks. Sheep heads, northern, muskies, and catfish are competing with the walleye for the same forage, so expect them to be there also. One suggestion I would give to first time Green Bay fisherman is if you catch a lot sheep and catfish, look for walleye somewhere else---they are much faster to your bait than a walleye, except at night.

The best location is flats in about 15 feet of water near reef that are fished heavily. The boats will force fish off of reefs and the fish will move laterally. Fish have changed their moods and prefer spinners right now and probably will continue this behavior for the next 2 months. The best colors have been changing daily so feel free to experiment and find what works best for you in the current conditions.

Best speeds have been 1.2 to 1.4 with a lot of S-turns. Remember, if they hit the inside board, slow down, and if they hit the outside board, speed up.  Good fishing!
