Fox River Fishing Reports

Since the ice is melting, all of us appear to have equivalent concept, spring fishing! For anyone that enjoy walleye fishing the Fox, below are a few guidelines that might help you be a bit more successful. I believe we have all experienced the countless ships up across the damn. You will find boats always coming, and going, looking for that special spot had been the fish tend to be sitting. That tends to scatter the fish even at depths to 20 foot. Discover an area out of the crowds of people. Drift slowly down flow keeping your jig vertical. If for example the motorboat is drifting too fast, use your Minn Kota trolling engine to slow you straight down. Keep in mind, the water is cold while the fish tend to be slow! In the summer months we troll for walleyes since slow as .8 miles per hour so make use of your GPS to test your speed. When going sluggish you’ll notice at times your jig tends to get downstream away from you. Don’t hesitate to use just a little heaver jig to keep your range straight. Due to the fact fish move upstream, they’ll make an effort to keep away from the quicker currents. The current is obviously slower directly on the bottom. Also, seek out those breaks in today's over the main station, the fish will tend to travel along those edges. Just last year, the water had much more quality than many years before. In such cases whilst the water is extremely clear, the seafood will are generally spooked from your own boat, so try making long casts to the current pauses. The six plus kilometers of Fox River from damn into the lips of Green Bay is full of areas that hold walleyes. Don’t be afraid to venture downstream and benefit from some of the best walleye fishing in the Fox. Fish the many bridges, drop-offs, and rocky shores; they may be prize troves of great fishing! Good Luck, but enjoyable, Jeff Boutin
