Chequamegon Bay Fishing Report

Well, it’s been an eventful week around here for lots of reasons.  We had a new addition to our family.  Ms. Berkley arrived at our home after her journey from Minnesota on Saturday, and she’s already become irreplaceable.  Morgan has a new buddy, and we have a new fishing partner.  However, her football allegiance has…

Extremely cold temperatures over the past week haven’t made for comfortable fishing conditions, but the new ice has allowed the guys to get on a really good trout bite.  Long time friend and customer Scott Mueller from Cedarburg, WI and his son in law Charlie Schell had two days scheduled with Josh Teigen this week.…

Happy New Year everyone!!!  2015 has brought some frigid conditions.  New ice is forming on Chequamegon Bay, and the trout bite is starting to pick up.  Aron Kastern  started the week fishing with Larry and Alex Anderson from Iowa.  They began the trip targeting trout on the bay and were marking a lot of fish…

It’s crazy to think that this is our last fishing report for 2014.  Man how time flies!  We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas spent with friends and family.  Hopefully Santa put a few new lures in your stocking as well…  Our crew continues to get after it on the ice, and it’s…

Slowly but surely, our ice fishing season is ramping up!  Last weekend’s warm up and the cool down that followed has left our ice conditions on Chequamegon Bay in pretty much the same shape as our last report.  The only change would be on the Washburn shoreline where ice thickness ranges from 7″ to only…

Our good friend Greg Miller from The Hunt was home on a break between hunts and joined me for a day on the ice chasing panfish on one of our local  inland lakes this week.  After searching around for a bit, we located some nice crappies and bluegills in 24′ -26′ of water using tungsten jigs…

It’s good to be back!  After a little November R & R with family and friends along with some time in the tree stand, we’re back on the water.  Hard water that is…  The boats are put away, augers are sharpened, and sleds are full of gear.  After the way November rolled in with lots…

An unexpected change in my schedule gave me an opportunity to get in the boat with some family and friends over the weekend.  It had been over a year since my brother Jason from Two Harbors, MN had been in my boat, and he spent Friday on the water with me for a much needed,…

October continues to be good to us…  Why can’t we have two of them and skip a month???  Scott Roppe from Birchwood, WI, his brother Joe, and father Rick from Winter, WI all joined me on Tuesday for a walleye/musky combo trip.  It’s defiinitely good to be a Roppe these days!!!  Scott had a day…

It’s almost the middle of October, and I’m slowly realizing that we don’t have many days of open water left…  This is definitely a bittersweet time of year for me.  I absolutely love fishing in the fall, but I hate to see it come to an end!  Amy Magnor from Monona, WI and Ed Armijo…
