Fishing Jeff Bolander Wisconsin Fishing Guide Reports & Conditions

FISHING REPORTS:

What's worst than getting stuck in the fish cleaning hut for over 30 minutes because of a downpour that won't quit? Going to the lake without your smart phone so you don't know enough about the weather NOT to go out on the lake and have to turn back after 1o minutes of fishing. Oh well. That's the northwoods. From the conversations i had with the fisherman at the launch the fish are still active in shallow weeds. Many fisherman were only to happy to share fish stories in the rain. Love it!

fishing has been pretty good lately if you aren't picky about what you catch. again, targeting a certain species can leave you holding an empty bag. targeting a species based on lake temps doesn't always work either. here's what I've found so far.

on clear lakes:
the bass are starting to go to the beds but are active on minnows and spinner baits. crappies are done spawning and are spread out in the heavy weeds still feeding on the surface placed minnows and gulp minnows. northerns are hitting everything. walleyes are finishing up with minnows and are startin the switch over to crawlers. bluegills and sun fish are on the beds.

on dark lakes and flowages:
walleyes are hitting leaches and crawlers lethargically in shallow GREEN weeds and grass. northerns are hitting everything. bass are heading to the beds and timidly hitting crawlers and leaches. bluegills and sun fish are close to the beds chalked full of eggs. crappie are suspending in deep water near their spawning nests.

all lakes:
weeds are greening and starting to form their hard edges. look for those the next few weeks as that where the feeding will be taking place.

that's it for today. take minnows (big ones), leaches, and crawlers with you everywhere except flowages. and bring a good selection of plastics to be used with varying speeds until the fish are satisfied. the best fishing of the year is knocking at the door. i plan to let it in!

Great day on the water with clients Mike, Tammy and Aurora. We caught everything but LM Bass. Highlight was a 19"+ smallie caught by Mike but Tammy won the free DeweyCatchem&How t-shirt! Minnows, crawlers and plastic all worked. Nothing on leaches. Fished a flowage and a lake known for pike and almost all fish were taken in 5-8 FOW in GREEN weeds. Pictures are on the FB page.

I fished the Rainbow flowage today. Caught a bunch of fish with Mac, my web site clients who sells taxidermy, but no keeper walleyes. Had fun though. Didn't see anyone taking anything outa the water nor admitting to it at the launch. Here's Macs web site. He's got some cool stuff. Everything is already made and ready to ship. http://www.macstaxidermy.com

I don't mind rain and I don't mind temps in the low 50s/upper 40s, but I don't care for all of them at once!! I drove to one of the 'back in the woods' lakes this afternoon and the water is up again from last year. Good news!... Heading to the Rainbow flowage tomorrow, I hope...

Caugh some nice walleyes on a big clear lake. After spending a lot of time in 20' of water we finally tried shallower weeds and hit them and northerner big time. Unfortunately a big storm chased us off the water but had a great time. Only one walleye was less than 20"! Love it when those pigs tug and tug and tug. All were caught on sucker minnows as we couldn't get chubs. Tried lots of other baits but no bites. Got some good steady weather coming so the fishing is going to get even better. Don't forget to have fun and take a little one fishing with you!

Good crappie day today. Surface water temp on the man is chain was 58-62 but the temp 12' down was only 52. The crappie have not spawned yet. The big girls are in 10-12 FOW and the shallower you go the smaller the fish. I used gulp minnows, no live bait, no floats. Everyone else out their was fishing that way but my net was out more than theirs. I kept 3 13"ers and they were very tasty. Actually 2 would have been enough. All fish caught mid-day. It was fun. Gonna hit some dark water tomorrow and ill let u know how it goes. Have fun Fishing!
