Chequamegon Bay & St. Louis River, Wisconsin Fishing Report 8-28-13
Once again, we have a pretty “typical” August report for you. I spent Sunday on my own looking for fish on Chequamegon Bay, and it was on fire! Every spot I checked out had willing biters. I had a good southwest wind, and smallies were instantly cooperative at every spot. On Monday afternoon, newlyweds Josh…

I finally had my first trip of the season strictly dedicated to muskies. Jordan Gensmer from Angler’s Haven Resort joined me for a day of pounding the water. Our original plan was to fish the St. Louis River, but northeast winds and thick fog pushed us inland. The first lake we fished produced one follow by…

I just finished three phenomenal days on the water with my good friend and top notch camera man for Babe Winkelman Productions, Nate Berg. Nate is a true “fishaholic”, and when we get together every year it usually results in a lot of fish looking at the bottom of my net. This year was no…

As we approach July 4th, I wanted to reflect on the truly incredible fishing we’ve had this spring. It’s been nothing short of outstanding! After a brutal winter that had me seriously contemplating a move south, (just kidding…sort of…) we’ve been rewarded with awesome weather and hungry fish. Needless to say, it’s been well worth…
