Hot bite in the Central Wisconsin area this past week with crappies and walleyes taking center stage. A lot of the walleye and crappie action has been by working 12 to 16 feet of water with jig and minnow combinations. Musky have been active along with some decent northern pike. The big fish bite has been by mainly running large bucktails as well as some topwater baits. We have also been seeing a lot of white bass on the Wisconsin River system this past week as well. It is a lot of fun when you get into a school of nice white bass as they will eat just about anything.
 

Our bear baits are being hit regularly and we are seeing some really nice bears. As we move later into the month we are starting to see more daytime activity as well as more consistency. We have been mixing our baits up with a variety of pastries, and candy as well as frostings and cookies. The varieties are working well at bringing in not only numbers of bears but some really good ones too.
 

Have a great week,
