| Trolled Poygan for 10 hours on Friday, both Shallow (3-4 feet) and deep (6-8 feet). I ran just about every thing that has worked for me in the past with very little action. I caught 1- 12inch Walleye, 1 small Northern, 1 small Whitebass, 1 small Sheephead and 1 small Perch... and that was it. No other hits!
My business partner was out with another friend and he did manage to catch 2 nice Walleyes (16-18) running #1 or 2 Colorado blades (small) very slow along bottom.
I tried every place on the lake from East to West. Water temps ranged from 55-59 degrees.
I talked to quite a few guys and no one had caught a fish on a crank bait.
Hope this helps anyone venturing out on Poygan in the next few days... I'd concentrate on small blade crawer harnesses very slow...

Location: Manitowoc, WI | I'm getting similar reports from the guys I know that are practicing for the PWT. It sounds like it will be a very interesting tourney given the tough bite. |

Jerry they must be doing something wrong then...lol Go to Bago...
There are fish all over the reefs, some are milking like crazy. There is even a trolling bite in shallow water. Some decent females are there for the picking, if you find the right rock-piles. Thought I would share that info with you, incase you are in the tourney, I have to work

Location: Neenah, WI | Don't let the 'bago shallow trolling bite word get out yet... Oops.
Hafe - are you going to be at the PWT weigh-in this week? I need to get your prop back to you - long overdue.

| And pleeeese. Don't let the jig bite get out into the non-tournament guys hands. They might catch and keep all thoses Walleyes before the 56 tournaments start on the bago system. or is it 94, I can't keep track.
On a serious note, jigging has produced some very nice fish from Winneconnie to Oshkosh.
