Shawano Lake

Was up with the family this past week, weather warmed up and the panfish and bass moved in on the north side near the county park where our Air B&B was.

Each day we had our 10-20 for dinner.

Wednesday the gills and sunfish moved into 4-5 feet of water and my son and daughter caught at least 30-40 that were 7-9 inches.
Ice jig on a rocket bobber with a chunk of crawler.

Each night, worked the docks and bass were snapping.
6-10 bass a night. Small average size, about 14-15 inch but to a 13 year old aspiring to fish bass tournaments , it filled his bucket and then some!!

We come to Shawano once a year, and this trip was probably the best!

If your up there, troll the northern bay this next week and search for the weeds sticking up near docks.
You’ll catch great gills, sunfish and bass!

We caught a few blue gills, a few crappies, a bass, a nice pike, a rock bass and a bull head.

Good time.  No giants.  Enough for a meal.

Fished morning from 5am to 6am got my big limit of crappies that's 10 fish and tossed back at 25 fish.crappies are full of spawm yet.almost every cast like the norm in spring with a secret bait.hahaha.wallwye fishing tonight lots of small ones last week

Wod - I live in Waupaca near the chain 'o lakes, roughly an hour south of Shawano. Water temps here are now in the mid 50's and with a burst of heat coming next week, we might see temps in the low 60's before we know it. Based on the size of Shawano Lake, I would  bet the water temp is pretty close to the lakes here in Waupaca.  Bring some O&H kringles with ya and please save me a piece of cherry kringle!  Hope this helps and good luck!!

Driving up from Racine this holiday weekend. Any recent water temps?  

Anybody willing to share info on approx. when the Crappies start to spawn on Shawano Lake? Or if there are any lakes close by that are also good for Crappies? Message me if you prefer.

How's the ice?

drove out yesterday got limit of 12" perch

Anyone have an ice report for shawano ? ​Still ice fishing anywhere on the lake ?? 
Thanks, looking for ​panfish!
