Green Bay Fishing Report: September 17, 2009
East Shore
Door Co.
In Sturgeon bay perch fishing has been fair over the last week with some limits being reported. Most perch, though, are running on the smaller side with fish averaging about 7 inches. Smallmouth bass fishing has been spotty over the last week. Most anglers have been trolling for musky and pike over the last week with limited success. In Little Sturgeon Bay fishing has been slow over the last week due to bad weather, but anglers that have been out are catching some very nice bass. The perch and the walleye fishing has been on the slow side. From Chaudiors Dock the perch fishing continues to be very productive with lots of very nice fish being caught. Some walleye are also being caught in this area by fisherman trolling for them.
Brown Co.
In Dyckesville the perch fishing has slowed down over the last week. Anglers are spending a lot of time targeting them but with limited success. Walleye fishing has been hit or miss over the last week with most anglers heading north of town to find fish.
West Shore
Oconto Co.
Perch are the main story on the Bay this week. From the landing at Pensaukee to Oconto Park II most fishermen are reporting nice catches of fish in 7 to 14 feet of water using minnows with crappie rigs or slip bobbers. Stiles Dam continues to produce nice catches of bluegills on free floating leaf worms or crawlers.
Marinette Co.
Peshtigo Harbor smallmouth are biting on spinner baits and plastics; fish are close to structure. Some perch and catfish are being caught at the harbor using leaf worms and crawlers. The walleye bite in the Menominee River has been consistent even with the warm temperatures. Early morning and evenings are your times to fish, and trolling or jigging has been working well. The trout and salmon bite remains slow, but with the coming weather changes things should pick up.
