Yellow perch are also in the shallows.  They can be caught by Belvidere Park in 8-10 ft of water.  The best approach is small fat head minnows fished on a Thill slip bobber.  The only problem has been that the average size is about 5 inches.  You will need to do a lot of sorting […]

Largemouth bass have been biting in the shallows in 3-4 ft of water.  The best location has been Trinkes or Abbey Harbor.  They can be caught on a split shot rigged nightcrawler or a green pumpkin Senko.  With the chilly weather over the weekend, you need to fish really slow to get the bite.

Walleye pike are off the main lake points in 22-24 ft of water. They can be caught on lindy rigged nightcrawlers with a 24-30 inch leader. I prefer using a painted hook on my lindy rig in either pink or chartreuse. As the water cools, the fish will switch to an all fat head minnow […]
