My little brother Jamie Blum from Sturgeon Bay, Wi. (Cheese Head Country) with a limit of Walleye taken 5/8/11. The bigger eye was just short of 4 pounds.


Water Temp = 59 degrees, main lake lightly stained with the river arms heavily stained. The last three days have been rather breezy to say the least. The next 5-6 days are predicted to be in the mid 70's with light winds ---- it should be a great weekend coming up!!!!! Fishing pressure has been rather light due to the winds, but I think the bite is on for most species.

Walleye--FAIR to GOOD--The Walleye have moved into a little deeper water. 20-30 feet of water has been where I have had luck. Minnows and crawlers on the bottom near deep water. Trolling has been slower, but it should really pick up any day.

Small mouth bass --FAIR---quite a few 10-13 inchers are being caught in 2-6 feet of water with tubes, but the larger smallies are not on fire yet.

Large mouth bass --FAIR--Not many being caught, but no one has been fishing the last few days. The wind has churned up the water, so maybe the bite will turn on. They have been staging in 2-4 feet of water, but are elusive. Get into the reeds and you should be able to capture a couple.

Crappie--FAIR to GOOD--I have seen a few limits come in last weekend. The Canadian arm seems to be producing more of them last weekend.

Catfish--SLOW to FAIR--Not much to report, except I did see 12 channel cats come in last Sunday all caught on stink baits up the Canadian in 4 feet of water.

White bass---SLOW to FAIR--I'm catching one here and there. I have heard that a school has been around Watson Island, but that was before the winds arrived.

FISH-ON
