Green Bay Fishing Report: June 7, 2010
Oconto Co.
Hot and humid were the call words for this past week driving up the water temperatures at the landings to near 80 degrees. Although fishing pressure was light to moderate, the number of pleasure boaters increased. Smallmouth bass and brown trout are on the menu in the Stiles Dam area with the smallies actively engaging small crank baits and the browns reacting well to nymphs. Pensaukee fishermen are enjoying the walleye bite by fishing 9 to 15 feet using crawler/harness, some small and largemouth bass are being caught in the Pensaukee River using crank and spinner baits. Carp and smallmouth are putting on a good show at the mouth of the Oconto River. Some carp are over 20 pounds and put up a terrific fight. Walleye, northern, catfish and sheephead are being caught trolling the bay out of Oconto Breakwater and Oconto Park II trolling crawler/harness in 9 to 22 feet of water.
Marinette Co.
Peshtigo harbor fishermen are catching some big cats, smallies and sheephead at the mouth of the river fishing dead stick with crawlers or casting small cranks and spinners around drops and structure. The smallmouth bite by the Peshtigo Dam area is in full swing with everything from live bait drifted in the current seams to streamers and crank baits. A fisherman reports having success for walleye out of the landing at Little River. Walleye fishermen on the Menominee River are catching fish by the Hattie Street, Mystery Ship and Government Pier areas early morning and evenings. There are reports of a few salmon and splake being caught in the bay in 50 feet of water fishing 40 feet down in the predawn hours.
