Hayward, Wisconsin Ice Fishing Report 12-28-15
If you were hoping for better ice conditions since our report last week you’re probably going to be disappointed. Several inches of wet/heavy snow made it just in time for Christmas, but it didn’t do us any favors in the fishing department. In fact, it may have made things a bit worse… With good ice…

We’re back!!! Kind of… What a strange fall/winter it’s been. The struggle for ice fishing is real for us as warm weather has persisted across northern Wisconsin with fishable ice extremely hard to come by. A cold snap last week tightened up some of our inland lakes, and Aron Kastern along with his good buddy…

George Hollow from Elmhurst, IL and Wilbur Mennell from Warrenville, IL returned for a fall trip, and we spent Thursday in the Hayward area on an absolutely spectacular fall day. Comfortable temps, high skies and light winds sure made us appreciate what we had and what we had coming… Our mission was smallmouth, and it…

I kind of thought this might happen… Our extremely warm September pushed the fall big fish bite back into a short window in October. Good news is that we’ve been able to take advantage of it. Comfortable temperatures this week have made it a dream to be on the water, and I only wish it…

Friday was our 3rd annual Wounded Warriors In Action Bayfield County Cast & Blast event. Chris and Brenda Diesing from Brookfield, WI started this event in hopes of giving back to some of our soldiers who have given so much for all of us. They were kind enough to ask Dave Brown and myself to…

I included Chequamegon Bay in this week’s report only because it’s been unfishable. If you’ve been paying attention, 30 – 40 mph winds (even up to 60 mph) have been roaring across the bay since Monday. As a result we had to make some alternative plans, and the inland waters around Hayward have been very…

We had a good start to the week, and the ending wasn’t to shabby either… David Russo and his son Nick from Winfield, IL returned to Angler’s Haven for a fall musky trip on Thursday. Nick landed a really nice 45″ musky with time running out on his spring trip, and I know the muskies…

I wish every week would start this way… My old friend Stephen Frisco from Bemidji, MN arrived on Monday to explore some of his old stomping grounds that we fished as kids. Stephen and I spent our summers in high school together wading the shorelines of Chequamegon Bay in search of smallmouth bass, and I…

Apparently the hurricane out east is effecting our weather right now, and I would just assume that it goes on it’s merry way so we can get rid of these ridiculous east winds. Enough is enough!!! Josh Teigen and I were back in the boat on Thursday with the Hancock gang with Jim (Cedar Falls,…
