- Bud's Report - Fishing
has been steady the last few days with, most fish coming in 60' to
120' feet of water fishing down to 70'. If you can use the parking
lot as an indicator of how good the fishing is, right now it is most
of the time full. I was out 3 times this week taking 5 fish the first
day and 6 the second and 4 this morning. Our best set-ups has been
lead, down riggers and divers, most everything has been working. |

Report - Fished this morning until 10:30 AM. Went 6 for 9 in
135 feet of water from 10 to 100' down, some other boats were getting
fish out around 200'. My best lure was a Dreamweaver
in a pearl color 100' down. Note that the water is warming up a little
and the fishing should just keep getting better. The docks here, at
the DNR ramp are under water most of the time.

- Bud's Report - Fishing
has been tough for me and a lot of other people os far this year.
The fish have not moved in like they did last year, it may be the
cold weather we are getting. I fished Port Sheldon the 15th. 3 hours
and nothing tried South Haven on the 16th. Caught 2 lake trout did
not hear about a lot of other fish taken. I think things will soon
get better. I have heard about some fish out in 200 to 300’
it is a little far out for me, people are getting walleye off the
piers at night |
