Green Bay Fishing Report: January 6, 2010
Brown Co.
Voyageur Park is reporting some success with walleye fishing in about 10 feet of water using jig and minnow. A few small perch are also being caught in shallow water using wax worms. Ice thickness, according to the fishermen, is in the half foot range close to shore; use caution when ever venturing out on the ice. Fishing at Sunset Beach was slow, with only a few small perch being reported.
East Shore
Sturgeon Bay: Ice conditions are very poor because of the warmer weather last week and overall wind conditions. Prior to this weekend, a few walleye and some whitefish were being caught. Some yellow perch have been caught around the state park as well. Little Sturgeon Bay: The wind played havoc on some of the permanent ice shelters during the last few days, with some being ripped apart or blown across the bay. Anglers, however, have been finding some perch in the weed beds, and most have been using wax worms and minnows. Anglers have been finding good numbers of whitefish from Lime Kiln Road to Sand Bay. Use extreme caution though when venturing out in these areas due to poor ice conditions. Anglers have been fishing with small jigs or jigging spoons with a wax warm or a small piece of Berkley gulp for bait. Bayshore Park/Dyckesville: Anglers have been fishing for yellow perch and whitefish. Most anglers have been fishing in 15-25 feet of water and have been using jigging spoons tipped with minnow heads or wax worms. Most of the Lower Bay seems to have good ice on it; however, it would be prudent to use caution there as well.
