The fishing over Memorial Weekend was very good fishing, mother nature threw us a curve ball on some very windy conditions but added some nice warm temperatures to keep us toasty and tan.
The fish have begun to spread out and move a bit deeper as the water is starting to warm up just a bit. Our best fishing was found in 10 to 12 feet of water behind Geano's Reef, and in 10 to 12 feet of water right in front of the Suamico River mouth. There has also been very good fishing north of Geano's in the same 10 feet to 12 feet of water. The East shore is still very good in the Vincent Point area, our best fishing there has been on top of the rock humps in front of Vincent Point.
The anglers still holding on to the 6 to 8 feet of water are also finding success but not as much success as the fisherman who are fishing 10 to 12 feet of water, in some locations the fish will move into that shallow water when wind blows them in. There are also some anglers targeting fish in deeper water, some as deep as 25 feet of water. As the summer sets in and the water gets warmer this will be where most of these fish will end up.
Keep mobile and use your electronics to find these fish as they are on the move. Our best baits have been crawler harnesses, trolled at 1.0-1.2 mph, still with no weight at 45-65 feet behind Offshore Planer Boards. Our best bait colors have been #4 Willow Blades, Fishlanders new "Hedge Hog" blades. Colors have been Sex on the Beach tied with gold and red beads, Seyka Perch tied with Green and Orange beads, Grim Reaper tied with red and purple beads, and Purple VooDoo tied with Gold and Purple beads. Fishlanders Willows have out fished my #6 and #5 Colorado's almost 3-1 ! I still run a few Colorado's mixed in but "Hedge Hogs" have been VERY GOOD.
Good Luck everyone who ventures out this week. If you have any questions don't be afraid to email or call!
Congratulations to the Paul Krause group from Sunday afternoon, that 10.4 pound giant was a great fish !!!!!!!
