Green Bay Fishing Report: June 20, 2011
Brown Co.
Fox River: Anglers have been finding numbers of large catfish fishing from the shore. Most have been using cut bait or worms. Also a few anglers have been targeting smallmouth bass with good success. Drum and carp are being caught as well but most are being caught incidentally. Lower Bay: Walleye have been hitting well from Geanos Beach in the west to Volks Reef in the east. Trolling has been the most successful approach. Also a few anglers have been jigging gulp or live bait on reef tops with some success.
East Shore
Sturgeon Bay: Anglers have been catching some perch in Sawyer Harbor over the last few days, however most have been small in size. Also bass fishing has been good when the weather allows anglers to get out and fish. Best action has been in the shallows in and around the ship channel. A few walleye are being caught as well, generally by anglers trolling the channel at night. Little Sturgeon Bay: Bass fishing has been good with anglers targeting shallow rocky shorelines. Anglers have been using a variety of baits from soft plastic jigs to live leeches. Also anglers fishing for perch have been finding good numbers of keeper perch in the weed beds. Best bait has been a small minnow on a bottom rig. Chaudoir's Dock: Perch have been very spotty the last week with some good catches one day and nothing the next. Most anglers have been targeting 20-30 feet of water using minnows or worms for bait. Bottom rigs have been the typical fish producer, but slip bobbers with a jig and minnow have been working well also. Walleye fishing has started to pick up with some good catches of walleye being reported. Most fishermen have been trolling harnesses and producing fish. Most of the walleye, however, have been smaller in size with most being under 15inches. Bayshore Park: Walleye fishing has been constant the last week with harnesses working the best. Most anglers have been trolling in 10-20 feet of water. Purple was the hot color last week for some anglers. Some anglers were also reporting success using wally divers and shad raps. Perch fishing has been slow with some fish being caught in 20-25 feet of water. For perch, the best weather conditions have been sunny, warm days.
