Green Bay/Lower Bay

This warm weather has taken its toll on the ice but it’s still holding. We definitely lost ice compared to the last time i was out but it looks like we finally have some colder ice making weather on the way! Praying that forecast holds true so we can ice fish in to March. 
Enjoy the video!! 

Obviously with the warm up i would not suggest machines on the ice from now on unless we miraculously get a blast of cold weather in the middle to end of February. Really hoping this wasn’t our last day on the ice for this year but If it was, I’m glad it was a good day.

Ice fished the lower bay 1/27 and 1/28 for walleyes. Wasn’t a numbers bite but definitely a quality fish bite. Broke 3 PB’s with 2 around 28 and 1 right at 30! Also caught a few whitefish ​

Fished the bay 1-20-24 targeting perch. I measured the ice right away in the morning and it was 9.75” in our spot. Fishing was a little tough with the high pressure but we adjusted by adding more weight to the minnows and it seemed to work. Rosy reds and shiner minnows, didn’t seem to matter.

Coming up from southern wi and wondering how walleye bite is on lower bay/fox river mouth.  

Sorry for asking.  Don’t live close.

Late report - Launched out of Bay Shore Park late AM last Saturday. Large perch fleet out to the north off Dykesville, but we were after walleye. Started tossing jigging baits around Point Comfort in 3'-6'. Gold 'sonar' style bait was the ticket. It took 3 average sized walleyes. Nothing on Shiver minnows or other jigging baits we tried.

Moved offshore hump and jigged. One other boat out there anchored upwind fishing slip bobbers over the top of the hump.  Dude netted 4 nice walleye in the 20 minutes we jigged there. No bites for us though.

Should keep getting better. We fished in the middle of the day. Low light, AM or PM, would probably have been better.

Enjoy! 

A thank you to several Lake-Linkers who have reached out to see how I’m doing. I came down with staph, so it’s slowed my time on the water. I was out two Fridays ago with a crew, and we did well mainly because we had good wind during the trip. We managed 13 walleyes, with trolling #7 flicker minnows in pink lemonade, slick mouse, and glass fire Tiger our best colors. All our fish were on rocks, as is normal for this time of year. As waters cool I’m hopeful our bite will get better.
I have openings starting next week, for anyone looking to get out. Capt Jerry

Found this floating in the lower bay. No name on it but some white paint.I'll leave it at the metro launchwhen we get back today.

Dodged the rain this morning out of Bayshore fishing 7:30 to 11. Wind flattened out as the clouds cleared out for a while. The problem was the fish did their best not to show up. Caught small white bass, sheepshead, and fed gobies to the seagulls. Had minnows for perch but didn't ​see any. ​Tried three spots and even dragged harnesses around between spots.

Decent catch of yellow perch yesterday, all 9-13", threw back a bunch of smaller ones, a bunch of white perch too.  They like larger shiners yesterday and only a few on crawlers. 18' water.
Of course had some A hole come riding right past us on plane in a black triton with white stripes, like 40' close.  He had a red sweatshirt on and couldn't stop staring at us.  We were only boat for at least a mile or two.  I think the rest of the peple in his boat were emarrassed for him, and they should have been. 

Fished from noon to  7 on east side fronDykesville to Comfort.  Only 1 eye, nothing else. One the nose today since 8. 1 cat, nothing else. Harnesses , 6 lines both days. No w perch
 This really sucks.
