How is the water temperature looking for the small mouth to get active, I had a late May day that we caught 40+ each,off potowotomi park, leadhead jig with minnow barely hit the water before 3 20 inchers would swipe at it, I can't recall the perfect temperature, I was out with Dave Neubauer , was it like 47° or close? Thanks

Sturgeon Bay Open Bass Tournament is next weekend. Largest tournament in the state I think. People from like 10 different states and Canada fish it. It’s been going on for years. I used to fish it when the average winning average was 3lbs a fish. Now there’s 6 and 7 pounders coming in. Clearly catch and release works and tournaments don’t seem to harm the fishery at all. 

fyi, Bayshore parking is nonexistent this morning.  Wow, it looks like a pro tournament shoot off.  

Post Spawn Bite is heating up on the Bay. This was filmed on 4/23 on the west shoreline. 

Thanks for watching!

Got out with Ultimatum Charters on the second day. Fish were caught much shallower than we expected 5 to 6fow. Ultimatum custom ripping raps produced the best for us. 

Planning a trip the first week in March. Is there a reasonable priced place to stay with side by side access to the bay

Thanks

Algocanada tanker still docked in Green Bay when I drove over Tower Drive this morning. Checked marine traffic website and looks like they are heading out later this morning. Also appears that CG Katmai Bay is out cutting ice ahead of their departure. 

Coast Gaurd is closing the lower Bay to commercial ship traffic starting on Monday per Fox 11. That is from Peshtigo Point to Sherwood Point. Currently 1 ship offloading in Green Bay and one waiting to get in with CGC assisting in ice breaking efforts. Stay safe and tight lines.

Repost as last post was deleted... FYI. CGC Mobile Bay is out breaking ice on Green Bay right now for the Algonova which is due into Green Bay tonight. Algocanada is due in on 1/20. Stay safe.
