Green Bay Walleye Fishing Report

 | By Seamus on 4/12/2010 6:17:00 PM | Views (254) Mother Natures warming trend looks to have kicked the fishing in high gear. Anglers all over the Green Bay area, Fox Valley, and the Door Peninsula are reporting moderate to good action with numerous species being targeted.

Over the weekend we visited several spots in search of walleyes using several different methods. Trolling crank baits on Green Bay provided good action anywhere we could sneak out of a strong west southwest blow on Saturday. Reef Runner Little Rippers, Reef Runner Ripshads, and the always active Berkley Flicker Shad all produced action for us at a variety of depths.

Bay by Day, River by Night, was the name of our game as we ventured out after dark on the Fox Rivers flats in search of big fish shallow. Stick baits were our weapon of choice and seemed to produce the bites we were looking for. The slower we trolled the better as the fish seemed to have a tough time locating the bait in the dirty run-off from he weeks melting snow. This has been a pattern over the past couple seasons for us in the transition time of spring, target fish after dark shallow when boat traffic is at a minimum.

Sunday we turned over to fish Crawler Harnesses along the Eastern shores of Green Bay as this was the wind blown shore from the day before. This seemed to produce way more bites that the crank baits the day before, and a wider variety of takers. Which means its time to start thinking about crawler care. That being said, good worm bedding is the seldom noticed crawler bedding. Year in and year out we utilize Frabills Fat and Sassy worm bedding, it plumps up even the smallest crawlers in our flats and keeps our bait well nourished through their wait for deployment. Next time you're keeping some crawlers for a period of time give it a shot, it comes pre-mixed and pre-wet so there's no messy set-up either. Frabill even has worm food and Habitats for longer storage or the worm picker. Check it all out at Frabill.com.
