Location: Green Bay, WI | Yes with the forecasted nice weather the monkeys will be out. Avoid it by staying north of 172.
Ritch - actually just pulled the boat out of storage last Saturday the 17th and installed a Minn Kota motor mounted electric motor. If I didn't have out of town family commitments, I'd be on the river, NORTH OF 172, slaying those prespawn pigs! |

Location: Freedom, WI | I will second the slow fishing! Had a buddy on the water today from 9-4, they caught a total of 11 Walleyes, he told me not to waste my time, but I figured he just wasn't fishing right. I went anyways and only managed to catch 7 from 2-6! Water is dirtier than expected, seeing how Little Lake BDM has a visibility of almost 4' right now! Oh well hopefully it will clear up in a day or two! |

| Went out Saturday from 11a.m. till11p.m.. Overall I would have to say the fishing was slow for us. We didn't fish with the big pack of boats up by the dam. Instead we fished areas that looked fishy. Most of our fish came from 1'-4' of water. Our biggest fish caught was a 23". Lots of average size fox river fish16"-19". We did anchor up bythe dam after dark until we quit at 11. Caught a few fish there to.Didn"t see tomany camera flashes out there. We caught fish throwing rapalas,jig and minnow,and just a jig and twistertail. We didn't do any vertical jigging or fish the channel.We weren't after numbers rather quality.Water temps were 42.5 all the way up to 46.5 degrees where we fished. Here are some Pics.
