Green Bay Fishing Report: June 17, 2010
Brown Co.
Fox River: Anglers have been catching a few musky in the river. Most fishermen have been targeting walleye and bass are having some good success. Anglers fishing from shore have been catching a lot of rough fish. Lower Green Bay: Anglers have been trolling for walleyes with a crawler harness and have been doing well; most have been fishing in 10-20 feet of water. With the rough weather over the last week the bite has slowed a bit. Anglers have also been fishing perch from Bayshore Park up to Chaudoirs Dock with limited success.
East Shore
Sturgeon Bay: Anglers fishing for bass have been finding some good success with some big bass being caught in Sawyer Harbor. Those that have been targeting walleye have been trolling the ship channel and finding some fish with crank baits and crawler harnesses. Also a few perch are being caught on night crawlers. Little Sturgeon Bay: Anglers have been finding great success on smallmouth bass in and around the bay. Most are using tubes in a brown or white color. Also a few largemouth have been caught as well. Walleye anglers continue to have some decent action around Henderson point during low light conditions. A few perch have been caught as well with most being small in size.
Oconto Co. With cooler temperatures and rain fishing pressure the last week has been light. Water temperatures at the landings, a balmy 70 degrees. With the Oconto River on the rise fishing seems to have suffered a bit. A few small perch and some 2 to 3 lb catfish are being caught from the Municipal Landing. Oconto Park II is reporting a few walleye being taken in 8 to 12 feet of water with crawler/harness, purple and pearl have been hot colors.
Marinette Co. The Peshtigo Harbor area is giving up some nice catfish along with the occasional sheephead and smallmouth bass fishing crawlers dead stick. The big news is the bay continues to produce some nice King salmon in the 10 to 12 lb range fishing in 50 to 70 feet of water 40 feet down. Colors to try, purples and pinks.
