Announcements and Fishing Report 2-1-10
It's fisheree time. Some nice pike were brought in over the weekend for Mapleton, with the Stone Bank outing this weekend, expect the number of people out on the ice to increase. Be safe, especially if you're considering taking a vehicle out.
Heading out early this weekend? We'll be open until 10:00pm Friday night and again at 4:00am on Saturday.
By popular demand: Musky Mike's Garlic Waxworms are back! (You can thank me after this weekend!)
Onto the fishing report:
Conditions haven't changed radically over the past several weeks. The pike continue to bite, and while the numbers are down slightly, the size of the fish has been above average most of this season. Keessus, Okauchee, Golden, Moose, and Nagawicka have been consistent producers, especially in the deeper protected bays and over bottom transitions on mid-depth flats. Any green weeds indicate a high percentage area. Most fish continue to be caught on a flourocarbon or mono leader with a red treble.
The panfish bite has been steady on most lakes. The lakes along the Oconomowoc River have all been producing, but Lac Labelle keeps coming up when people are running into a nice sized gills and crappies. If hitting Lac Labelle, remember the bag limit is lower. Wigglers and spikes on a tear drop or ratfinkee has been the best presentation.
On the other area lakes, most reports have the best panfish moved out to suspend in deeper water. Crappie typically suspend higher in the water column than bluegills. I wouldn't take that as gospel, but that's an observation I've made from time to time. Once you've located a school with your electronics,. set up and fish just above them, you won't believe some of the fish you catch. Where to look for them? Think summer structure: points, rockpiles, humps and dropoffs in 15-25 feet of water. The closer to the mainlake or to current, the better. Silver, Lower and Middle Genessee, Forest, Bay five and Ice House bay on Okauchee, Tierney, Garvin, Fowler and School Section have been active the last week to 10 days.
Walleye fishing has been slow, but steady, especially by anglers fishing at night under the moon. Look for fish in water 8-22 feet deep. Its quite a range, but spread your tip-ups out until you find fish, then concentrate on that area/depth. Pine, Nagawicka, Pewaukee, Lac Labelle and Fowler are all giving up a few fish.
Good Luck,
CT

Fishing Report 1-27-10
Well, there's some big news.
It seems like the big fish have finally hit their winter stride, and the bite is picking up.
Panfish are still biting shallow, but the better sized fish are still out deeper. Anglers who have ventured out and searched for deeper water schools are catching nice bags of fish. You'll need to do a little searching, and electronics will certainly help with catching the fish, but area lakes with sand bottoms in 18-22 feet of water are giving up nice pannies right now.
Walleye fishing has picked up dramatically. Jigging is taking a few fish, but tip-ups with a floro or mono leader, spinner and red treble baited with a golden shiner is producing. Shallow rocks in 6-10 feet are producing during low light hours, deep water structure in 18-25 feet is producing during the day time. Several large fish have ben brought in during the last week, including a 9lber.
Northern pike fishing has been pretty solid and steady. Lots of guys are picking up fish, with more than a handful of 30+ inchers reported, but snakes in the 15-25 inch category have been biting aggresively. Deadbait, shiners and suckers have all been good the last few days.
Reminder: We'll be open at 4:00am this Saturday. Stop by and get your bait on your way out to the lake for the Mapleton Hook and Shell Fisheree.
