Location: Neenah Wi | Trolled the mud today from 8:30-2:00 the first 1.5 hrs nothing,then we found the right combination and hit some fish.Baits were gold hot n tots and wally divers 30-50ft back off oshkosh.Then it kind of died and we switched things up a bit and put the baits down in the water column 45-65 back ended the day with 10 fish for the pan nothing big but nice eating size fish.Good thing I counted the fish in the box had 11 and put one back.Also had about a half dozen or more little fish.And only a couple of sheepshead and 2 whiteys.The bugs were terrible when the wind died. Man in 2 days put a limit of trout and salmon in the boat then the icing on the cake a limit of eyes out in the mud.I hope it continues.It sure helps to have 3 more baits in the water too. Yes I counted the fish before I put the 11th one in.

| I was out on wednesday morning with my father-in-law and have
been having trouble getting fish in the boat the last week or so.
We got two wednesday morning and one was 14" and the other 15" this
has been far my worst start. So Risor how about a little help since
you finally hooked up with them. yeasterday I ran the whole box just
about! I have been fishing off of Pipe and fishermans maybe just not
many fish in the area as around Oshkosh. I will be up again Friday and
through the weekend. Shadraps and thudersticks is what I normally do well
on but help on other lures would help,
Thanks!!!

Location: Neenah Wi | Ok here's what I started with.#5 shad raps on the outside boards 30-50back then the smaller wally divers and hot n tots 30-50back then a couple t-sticks 60-80back.I will pull these after a half hour and start switching colors and sizes.After I hit a fish or 2 start to put most of the baits at that depth.I still keep switching 1 or 2 baits every so often.I still think the depth is the key.But color can make a difference.I started just south of the river off oshkosh and headed north depending on the wind of course.The same place all the ice fisherman were this winter.I marked some nice fish a little deeper but most of the fish I caught were from the surface to 10ft down.I tried to get the deeper fish but no dice.Gold was good early then I started to switch colors and a variety of colors did get fish so I don't think color was a big factor.After 2 fish on gold though thats what I put out on4 of the 6 boards.Speed was 2.1-2.4 gps and some s turns too.The weeds were kind of a pain in the butt.I did'nt get any big fish but I'm not trying to win any tournament.Just have some fun.Good luck and lets hear how you do. Oh yeah later I started to move my baits down a little too. And good luck to you too Jerry.

I haven't caught a lot of big fish this year, but the ones that I have caught have been on #7 Shadraps. The bites are kinda few and far between, but try running them 8 - 9 feet down.
Should be out this weekend and hope the fishing is good.
Happy fishing to all

| Fish were jumping in the boat for us yesterday, couldnt have asked for a nicer day of better fishing, fishing just out of stockbridge never really got a specific thing they wanted though, it was pretty random, bit on all different colors at different depths and different speed, but as long as it worked who cares

Location: WI | 10ft down for me and my six year old. My boy had sore arms from reeling and a sore mouth from bragging.
He says dad why am I catching all the fish. I guess dad had nothing to do with it. We used a couple Erie tricks last night.

Location: Manitowoc, WI | I was on a pretty decent bite the last few days pulling cranks. Lots of fish in the 13-15" category and a few over 20". No particular lure or color was better than another. Caught them on KABOOM Deep Shiners, Winning Streaks, Shad Raps, DJ's, Hot n Tots and Deep Little Rippers in various colors. |

Location: Kaukauna WI | A late report.....out from Pipe on Wed. caught 5 eyes in a little over an hour and a half(all put back) 14-18". Pulled #5 Raps 80' back over 17FOW. Then the bite went away for me, it was about 8 AM by this time and calm and buggy. Tried various lures and moved around. Finally caught another about 11AM on a harness w/ 1/4oz wt 25' back, a 17". Had to keep that one as the 17"er was bleeding from the gills. |
