| Has anyone been on bago in the last week or is not done this time of the year? Just curious where the fish might be? Any help would be wonderful. |

Location: Orland Park, IL | As they say, they are always around. Most of neighbors are deer oriented, so havent seen to many of em. Lots of perch caught, but that usually is the season. Had some my best luck oct/nov for perch. Never really fished this season for eyes. Though I think fish may been in some of the rivers. |

| It appears you are the only one that wants to venture a guess as to where the eyes may be this time of the year on the bago system. Although there are alot of curious ones out there, but no one wants to wate their time on this lake. Went out Nov. 4th and the 5th and only one perch. Thought I'd try for some eyes this weekend since the perch didn't cooperate this last one. I will let everyone know how it goes. Any further input to this would be greatly appreciated. |

| I can't speak from experience because I haven't been out but if you'll settle for a guess I'll share some whispers I've heard. Apparently some eyes are coming from the river near Jefferson Park in Menasha and there's a bluegill bite picking up in the channels. Both bites have been reported to be later in the afternoon. |

| I fished the river in oshkosh a couple weeks ago, and had 1 walleye. There was nothing for cuurent. If there isn't much current, don't waste your time. My best guess would be the reefs around the mouth of the rivers. Late evening will most likely be the best. My Dad always told me that when he was younger, he would try to shoot a deer early so he could get in some great walleye fishing. He always used slip bobbers and minnows on the reefs. A couple hours before dark, until dark was the best time. Not sure if this pattern still works today, but its worth a try. Good Luck, hope you survive the weather!

| Thank you too all that have replied! This is all I was looking for, educated guesses. Saturday I will try the river in Menasha, if nothing happens Sunday I will try the reefs around the Fox river. Was out when the weather started too get cold and the fish shut off on the east side for about three to four days then started back up again, not ready to give up on any part of the lake yet. 40 degrees isn't that bad yet, Ha,Ha. |

Location: Neenah, WI | When the water got super clear a couple of weeks ago, my friends moved to much deeper water for perch. 16-17 ft. You might also try off the mouth in Oshkosh. |

| Went out this evening. No eyes but found some perch average size was 9" on the lighthouse reef in 10 - 13 feet of water all on minnows one hit on a leech. Started fishing there at 2:40 pm bite was on until 5:00 pm. Thought about trying early morning in front off Oshkosh. |
