Green Bay Walleye Fishing Report

 | By Seamus on 5/12/2010 6:09:00 PM | Views (281) The curve ball was thrown as it usually is around the beginning of May. Mother Nature threw SNOW at us over the weekend yet the Walleye fishing has still been very good. Good numbers of fish can be caught casting, jigging, or trolling either crankbaits or crawler harnesses.

The Geano Reef area has been very good along with Suamico while trolling crawler harnesses from 3' even out to 12' and deeper. The name of the game is find what program you are most comfortable with and stick to it.

The East Shore has been good around Bayshore Park with some anglers even casting crankbaits at night off the break wall with success. Here we have been targeting the 10'-12' range with crankbaits and harnesses.

The area surrounding University Bay and Frying Pan Shoal have also been good but the fish seem to be running a bit smaller and the water clarity is definatly less than what it is to the north, which is the usual situation. Our best spot in this area has been the Kidney Island area to the southeast of the island along the shoreline, good numbers of fish but not alot of size.

The Fox River is still holding fish, as it does through most of the year. Good numbers can be had jigging the breaks from 7'-12' of water. all bridge footings are holding fish for the jiggers as well. The 172 bridge provides a trolling opportunity for the crankbait fisherman. Near the mouth of the river you can "pole line" of you are familiar with the set-up and catch some great fish near the northwest side of the river. The small islands and channel markers are also holding some nice fish to pitch jigs to, they're there all year you just need the right wind to take advantage of them.

As always we are available for more detailed and up to date reports via cell phone, powered by Cellcom, at (920) 660-7275 .

Good Luck and Stay Safe! Congratulations to Tim Boland and his partner for winning the Fox River Walleye Classic with a great bag of 26 + pounds. Tim is a heck of an angler and figured out a really tough bite. Congrats Tim, it couldn't happen to a better guy! Read More
