Green Bay Fishing Report: September 8, 2010
Oconto Co.
Water temperatures have dropped into the mid-sixties with light fishing pressure this past week. Wind, rain, and cooler temperatures were the contributing factors. Stiles Dam is still producing good numbers of bluegills and crappies using slip bobbers and worms or minnows. Some nice perch and bluegill are being caught at the Oconto Breakwater Marina from shore. The walleye and smallmouth bite has been slow but the good news is the perch bite on the bay has picked up. Perch are biting in 8 to 14 feet of water and fishermen are using minnows and crawlers on slip bobbers and crappie rigs. Some trout and salmon are also being caught off the Oconto breakwall using cleo's, 3/4 oz. in silver.
Marinette Co.
Fishing the Peshtigo below the dam has been slow with a few rough fish being reported. Fishing on the Menominee for trout and salmon is improving with reports of Coho, browns, and a few Kings being caught off the Government Pier and the Light House Pier; early morning is the key.
