Northern Wisconsin Report

Well most of our lakes in Northern Wisconsin have turned over and on a lot of those smaller lakes water temperatures are in the mid too low forties.

We have still been finding walleyes in that twenty-five to thirty foot range in stained lakes. Both a jig and minnow combo or slip bobber presentation will produce fish.

You can also catch some fish on Rapala Jigging Raps or on Kastmaster spoons.

Crappies can be found on most of the Northern Wisconsin lakes in about thirty feet of water cruising the main lake basins. Small spoons, small jigs with plastics or a slip bobber with a crappie minnow are good ways to catch these fish. If you do target these crappies try to only fish for what you plan to eat, because fish deeper than thirty feet of water tend to have a high mortality rate when released.

Smallmouth bass can be found scattered along shoreline drop offs, rocky points, and on some rocky reefs in twenty to twenty five feet of water.

Heavy jig heads paired with paddle tails, A- Rigs, or live bait rigs with suckers are all producing fish.

The musky bite has been solid this fall. You can catch fish along the deep weed lines, but there are still a few fish up shallow. Big rubber baits or live suckers are the way to go this time of year.

I hope everybody’s able to get out on the water this week catch a bunch of fish and have a great time! Enjoy the last bit of the open water season. If your looking to get out fishing in Northern Wisconsin or the Hayward area you can reach me through my website or cellphone.

Like most of you reading this, I love to fish, plain and simple. Born in Hayward, WI, I've been blessed with many opportunities that have led me to a career on the water. As is the case with most kids, I was introduced to fishing by my father, a retired educator and coach who always made sure a trip to Canada or the Boundary Waters was scheduled at the end of every school year. My grandmother Doris was also instrumental in encouraging my passion and interest for all things fishing. You see, Doris fished, and she loved to eat what she caught. Bluegills were of special interest to Doris, and some of my fondest and earliest memories on the water were spent with her below the Nelson Lake dam. We always cleaned what we caught after an obligatory stop at West’s Dairy for the best ice cream cone ever made. In 2013, the decision was made to begin guiding full time and devote all energy to my career on the water. I became a credentialed U.S. Coast Guard Charter Captain and certified to guide on waters of the Great Lakes that I've fished for many years. This includes Chequamegon Bay and the St. Louis River-Superior Harbor in addition to the inland lakes I've been guiding on since 1992. The continued support from my family, friends, and faithful customers has made it possible for me to pursue my passion. You've all helped me in so many ways. There aren’t enough words to express how I appreciate having you in my corner. The relationships I've made on the water are priceless, and I don’t take any of you for granted.
