| I will be on the bay tommorrow with a couple of newbies that would like to try out the bay. Any starting locations such as depth or general areas would be great I will report back on how things go. I am looking for action more that anything. I assume 16-20 feet of water of geano's should be good? I have not been out there in at least 5 weeks, where did the time go
Thanks |

| Grouse,
Northwest wind today made for a long day. I caught 5 Walleyes, 1 Muskie (34 inches or so, I released him without taking him out of the water), 3 Northerns and a handful of Sheeps, all shallow. I could not get the deep bite to work today, nor could the other 5 guys out there. Everyone left after an hour or so. The water temp dropped 4 degrees today in 11 feet or less of water. Most of the regulars I see every outing stopped by to chat on the water and had 1 or 2 fish. Lots of weeds and not many hits. Everything came on Hammered Copper. Black Orange beads. I ran a bunch of combinations of colors today without any luck.
I'll be out Tues through Friday. PM me if you need details

| Thanks Purple Skeeter for the report it is much appreciated
Hit the bay yesterday afternoon and was quite disappointed for my guests we ended up with around six eyes and a mixed bag of trash fish. We did dump a nice eye 28-29'' at the back of the boat. Nothing deep and not a real consistent pattern although pink did take several of the eyes. Water temp was only around 69-70. Thought it would be warmer. Maybe hit it again over the weekend. Sure was suprised at the lack of boats out. |

Location: Green Bay, Wisconsin | It was a rough day for me also yesterday. Only 2 walleye while fishing solo. I got a few sheep and a 45" muskie. I did a lot of searching without much reward. Nothing happening deep at all. Walleyes were caught in about 5 feet of water. Weeds suck, but that's where they seem to be. I was only averaging 67 degree surface temp, a bit warmer in the real skinny water.
I'll accept any help anyone can offer. |

Location: Manitowoc WI | Fished from vincent to bayshore today. worked the shorelines shallow and deep. 2 walleyes and a ton of garbage fish. at least one eye was a 25 inch 6lb'r. If your looking for the big school of 3lb'rs they arent here.. however, plenty of garbage fish around. The story was the same around the launch. |

| Nothing today in 6 hours, Ganoes full of weeds and will remain that way for the rest of the year. Most weeds have topped out in 7-8 feet of water. Nothing deep from 17 feet to 25 feet deep, water temp 68 degrees.

| It all depends on which way the wind has blown for the last 24 hours, the temps in 7-11 feet of water on the surface can change 3 degrees in a couple of hours. I would guess in the upper 70's.

| Haven't tried the channel, but University Bay and even up to Suamico the water is very dirty. Fished 6 hours on 7/11 for 2 18" eyes and 3 2lb. cats. I think there is fish all over these areas, but it has to clean-up. |

| I was out 7/11, played around in University Bay and picked up 4 fish in about an hour and a half, went to Suamico and picked up 3 more in about 2 hours, I did not see a boat anywhere near Suamico or Geanos, I was surprised cause the fish are still around. I thought the water was pretty clean by Suamico, when you can see the stainless prop, it's clean. |
