Chequamegon Bay Fishing Report

And here comes fall…  This week has been a treat.  I took a couple of days off and spent some time on the water with my good buddy Terry Peterson, and we started out on Tuesday by returning a favor.  Wisconsin DNR Fisheries Biologist Max Wolter was kind enough to take Terry and I out…

The 2015 fishing season will definitely be remembered for some crazy weather with extreme swings.  We began the Labor Day weekend as heat and humidity continued to dominate with temperatures close to 90 and air so thick you could cut it with a knife.  Dave Evans (Willow Brook, IL) along with father/son Mike and Nick…

I just finished a three day swing that included a stroll down memory lane and a glimpse into the future.  What a ride!  Some of my old running mates from a lifetime ago showed up on Saturday, and we dug up a few memories as well as a few fish.  Brent Jacobson (Mauston, WI), Kevin…

Good friends Greg and Geralyn Miller from The Hunt  were back with us on Friday for their annual trip to celebrate the Walleye Queen’s birthday.  As expected, Geralyn didn’t disappoint…  We fished the Hayward area and had a very good morning with walleyes up to 19″, largemouth up to 18″, and smallmouth up to 17″.  Slip…
