Location: Kaukauna WI | Fished the mud off calumet Sat eve. Kinda slow for me managed 8 eyes trolling cranks, no one crank better than the others. All good eaters but all still swimming. Went back with a buddy last eve. only caught 4 eyes, though one was a 22", fish still there but didn't want to hit what we had out. Million boats out on the weekend, not bad at all weeknights. Anyone do any good last night the 15th? Or did I just not find active fish.

Location: Neenah Wi | Fished the mud this morn.near garlic Is.ended the day with 10 eaters in the box and a fat and sassy 28"fish still swimmin.My biggest fish off winnebago so far.Of course the camera was sitting at home on top of the computer.Yeah likely story,I know.But the fish took the glass shad rap in the white or clear whichever you prefer in #5 50ft back.In the last week I've been doing pretty good with this bait.We made one long troll to the east side and had 10-12 fish before the bite quit the last hour.So we went back to our starting point and filled our limit with 2 more fish.Boy the water sure is clearing up.Though there is some clumps of algea showing up.The shad raps were our #1 bait today.Only a couple of fish on wally divers.And 1 on a t-stick fished deep. |

| What a beautiful morning! Pulled Walley Divers, Ripsticks, Glass Raps and Nitro's, glass got the first fish (your right Risor it is an impressive bait) and a few more in the 14" inch range, then a double of 17's on Nitros. Needless to say Nitro's went back on all rods for the rest of the day! We wound up with many "quality" fish 2 over 20" and about 15 smaller one's. When the wind picked up they shut down and we had to rethink things. The fish went even deeper as we had to move the nitros back 60-80 behind the boards to get action. Otter Street should be good if the wind dies down in the morning!
GOOD LUCK GUYS

| Another great day on the pond! Purple Prizm Nitro! Believe it or not, but long lining behind the boat. God only knows how far Chase put the bait back for this one! Its amazing how the tactics from the past still produce, and leave it to the kids to remind you of those non conventional methods!
Good Luck

Location: Neenah Wi | Well The bite sure died today and from the sounds of it many otter street anglers had the same experience.We did manage to get some smaller fish later in the afternnon about the time all the tourny guys were heading back in.The first hour we had 1 fish in the boat.Headed towards stevens and not 1 fish from Garlic to stevens.Changed things up a bit and finally had some fish going down deeper on #7 & 8 shad raps.The wind picked up again and changed to wally divers way up high and pulled 6 fish in about 15 min.There was no pattern to hone in on so it could have been worse.Ended the day and the 2 guys I had with me kept 8 fish from 14-17"threw back about that many from 11-13"One question for you guys when the wind picks up do you usually go deeper or up higher my pick was up higher,of course it was getting later in the day too. |

Location: Menasha, WI | I take my two and four year old boys fishing from shore at a nice spot just down the street from our house pretty often (3-5 times a week); we catch lots of sheeps, some rockbass, an occasional smallie, and finally yesterday a nice 18" eye. Tonight, I finally went out there at night and now regret that I haven't done so sooner. Put the boys down to bed, was fishing by 10:30pm and catching 'til I came home at 1:00am.
6 - eyes; 10"-15"; 3 on glow jighead tipped with crawler and 3 on a #5 clown husky jerk
5 - catfish; 1 must have gone at least 12# WOW what a fight
3 - sheephead; yes, I actually caught more walleyes than sheephead
? - rockbass; I lost count at 10
Probably not that exciting for most of you, but not having a boat outings like that don't come along too often.

| A friend was trolling the mud off Pipe and a little north of Pipe on Friday 6/18, from 11:30 am to 6:30 pm he and his crew caught over 50 walleye, biggest was 4.5 lbs, also one other over 22".
Said they could not keep their lines in the water, running little rippers about 5' down. Also caught the usual sheeps and just a few white bass.

Location: Kaukauna WI | One old report and one new report. Sat. AM was great for numbers, as a buddy and I trolled up over 50 eyes from the west shore shallows. Everything worked, put on baits that were still cherry, and they didn'nt stay that way long. The No. 5 shad rap about 45' back was pretty hot (walleye pattern), also Lil ripper in watermelon about 30' back was pretty good. Today went back and the same area produced one small eye in an hour and a half, YIKES what a difference a couple days can make. Did finally find enough fish futher up the coast toward neenah. Ended up catching 11 eyes total keeping a couple eaters ....largest 15". Most of those again on the shad rap. |

Location: Kaukauna WI | Went back to spot from yesterday,(shallow west shore reefs) trolled up 11 eyes with 14" big fish of the day. Good eaters, but am ready to tie into some big girls for a change. Was checked at landing by DNR, they said plenty of limits coming in but no big fish. I did try out in the mud for 2 hrs with nothing but whities to show for it. Where are all the reports? There are an awful lot of boats out for nobody saying anything. Has everyone gone over to lake-links or what? This used to be a good forum for reports, but not so much any more. Need reports good or bad. |

Location: Chilton, WI | Hopefully I will be able to report as soon as the wind dies down. I had a spot out in the mud that was producing last week but with these strong winds lately I haven't been out since. By the way, I am done with lake-link. Too many whiners and trash talkers on there. |

Location: Neenah Wi | Not a report but a heads up there is another tournament this weekend so maybe after the tourny's are done you will see some reports coming in again.The mud bite has died for the moment.But once the weather warms up again the bite should improve.The reefs seem to be the place to get a meal of eaters.The upriver lakes may be better right now but I have not been up there.Another cold front is coming through so maybe after the weekend the weather looks to be warming up again.Keep the reports coming thanks |

| Fished both days over the weekend including the website tourney. We caught about 25 walleye on Saturday and 35 on Sunday. Only 8 or so sheephead/whitebass. Trolled all cranks, all in the bottom half of the water cloumn. They were all the usual 14-16" fish, no slobs. About 1.5-2 miles off Stockbridge. Vary your speed alot and make sharp turns. Dave S. |

Location: Chilton, WI | We went out this past Sunday morning and trolled the mud for a while. Had 4 keepers from 15- 17 inches and many smaller ones. Got them all on harnesses, couldn't buy a fish on cranks besides the sheephead. Got a few fish on the Gulp worms also. |

| GO CRANKS! With the water warming up the fish should be back in the top half off the column these week. With the high water I would think they are going to bite thru July this year!
Good Luck

Location: Menasha, WI | Did the shore fishing thing after the Menasha fireworks tonight and was able to pick up some nice eyes in a couple of hours. Just finished cleaning a 13 1/2", and two 15"s - I know what's for breakfast tomorrow Lost a really nice one on the rocks, I'm guessing 22"-23". Also a couple cats, 2 sheeps, and a rock bass. |

| How far back are you fishing your thundersticks? I tried every color possible in thundersticks and different depths yesterday and only could manage fish on the wally divers. |
