OCONTO COUNTY

Most of the weekdays were poor fishing days with a cold front and northeast winds. The weather improved enough over the weekend for anglers to get out after some walleyes. Fishing wasn't as good as before the cold front, as water temps dropped, but some fish were being caught, especially at night. Minnows baits and jerkbaits were catching fish. Trolling crawler harnesses or flicker shads was producing a few fish during the day. Most anglers were targeting 5 to 10 feet of water.

Dumper Dan Fishing Lodging and Water Front Store checked in. Coho Fishing remains excellent. They were fishing straight out and south of Sheboygan. Coho's are still in abundance with a mix bag of King Salmon and Rainbow trout mixed in. Water temperatures are in the mid 50's on the surface. Down about 80 feet or so the temperature drops to about the upper 40's. They were fishing in 100 to about 140 feet of water. Rotating flasher flies worked well on wire divers and mag divers and down riggers. Coho's and rainbows were being caught higher up on spoons and red dodgers combinations. Good trolling speeds were around 2.4 mph. Check out their facebook page for more pictures or the website. www.dumperdan.com

Smallmouth anglers were fishing the shorelines upstream from the launch for good action. Walleyes were being caught downstream in the deeper holes on jigs and crawlers.

OCONTO COUNTY

Anglers were having good luck for walleye this week on the bay. Pensaukee, Oconto and Oconto County Park 2 had good reports when the weather cooperated.
