Brown County DNR Report - August 26th, 2011
Bayshore Park anglers have been catching limits of perch in 15 to 25 feet of water. Minnows and worms have been producing the best results; most anglers have been using minnows in an attempt to stay away from the gobies. Anglers have reported catching numbers of smaller perch as well but having no problem finding good-sized fish. Walleye fishing has slowed the last few days with a large drop off in fishing pressure. Most anglers have been targeting walleye with harnesses. The majority of the anglers catching walleye found fish tight to the bottom. On the Fox River, anglers have been finding good numbers of channel catfish fishing from shore. Most have been targeting them with worms or cut bait. Anglers are also finding some good-sized smallmouth bass. Most have been targeting them along rocky shorelines along the river channel. Shore anglers at Suamico have reported catching some small perch and bass along the boat landing. Walleye fishing has been slow with anglers having a hard time trying to keep drum off the lines. Weeds are also causing problems with anglers having to reset every ten minutes or so.
