Perch fishing continues to be good ended up with 21 between 9" and 12" crawlers and wax did the best, caught fish in 12 1/2' to 15' fow, fishing the rocks took most fish but a lot of smaller ones to sort through, mud-clay bottom seems to hold the bigger perch!!!

[jason miller]

Late report from yesterday, took awhile to find some bigger fish ended up in 16 fow just off the rocks. biggest went 12 3/8

High winds blowing northwest 3 to 5 footers, managed 15 keeper perch and 1 gill, around 30 small ones and 20 or so sheeps. caught fish in the mud and on the rocks in 11 to 14 fow.

[jason miller]

Made it out Sunday afternoon for 4 1/2 hours got 18 perch 8" to 12 1/2" and 50 or so smaller ones we let go with 12 or so sheeps. In all was surprised we did so well with the little wind we had.

Launched north of Brothertown this morning and tried for whatever was biting.
Jigged a few artificial reefs and fishing was poor.

Ended with 2 smallies; one just under 18.
Lots of sheeps and no eyes.

Fishing hasn't been the greatest out here this year.

Water temp was 76 with lots of weeds and green water.

buddy george and tony won a small tourney out of brothertown this past weekend out in the mud pullin harnesses. ended up with 24.2lbs, great job. went back out with him on monday to get ready for this weeks tourney and had 4 fish worth about 12lbs and lost a big fish straight down from the boat that was easlily 7-8lbs. speed was the ticket, then we had a school of sheephead move in our area that was at least a mile long and god knows how wide. had all 6 boards go i dont know how many times, half the time they would hit as we were letting our boards out. craziness was the only way to describe it, water is gin clear for sure. could see down 8-9 ft where we were.

A friend and i fished yesterday on near shore reef edges and mid lake reefs..Used assortment of live bait and gulp..Only came up with 2 walleye,3 whities..We could not get away from sheephead, caught over a 100 of them..They are spawning and gobble up everything in sight.. The crystal clear water and high sky didnt help any..Low light and night bite would have been the way to go.

out today with buddy george and rick, ended up withi buddy george and rick. ended up with around 20 eyes and 3 huge black crappies as well as some sheeps. jigs and slip bobbers with leeches as well as crawlers were the ticket today but i did manage to get some nicer fish on jigs and leeches. not a lick of wind all day, made the bite very tough. 9 ft of water mud to rock transition was the ticket. one thing we discovered today is that we are not gooing to net fish unless they are 4 lbs plus, draw way to much attention to ourselves.

Ah, i see..

[walleyewackr]

they dont, but if you ever fish tournaments that size fish are considered nice slot fish. tournament language is all that is

[TJPike]

Since when does bago have a slot limit ?

[walleyewackr]

have one area on the west side that has been very productive for us. had 16 on satruday and 10 thursday on slip corks and leeches and jigs and leeches. some nicer slot fish in the 20-22 range but mostly eaters. good early until about 10 then it dies right off till evenign otherwise we have hit several areas without any fish.

Fished the eastside from Winni point to south of Pipe yesterday, was out 6 hours with 2 R-buckles (sheepshead) one 14" eye, water temps at 58 with dirty water should pick up this week with better weather on the way

Was out on Bago this weekend. Fished near the mouth on Saturday and managed to put my foot through, but managed an eye and a sauger and missed several more. headed out Sunday morning again, spud bar in hand. Got about 60 yards farther southeast of our spot from Saturday and couldn't move any further because of the thin ice. Didn't even mark one fish. We decided to hop back in the car and head out from Merritt and headed south towards Ceape. The crack running North-South was really deteriorating. We parked a couple hundred yards away from it and walked towards it and there were a few spots that we put the spud bar through on one hit, as well we saw a wheeler put his back wheel through the ice twice in a short amount of time. still didn't mark anything and decided to head towards a semi-shantytown about a mile out from the mouth and marked a lot of fish, but just couldn't coax even one to bite. We threw everything at them and they would follow it up, but wouldn't bite. I tried seeing them on the camera too and they would spook away from it and not even come near it. Oh well, maybe time for some steel next weekend!

Has anyone driven from QUINNEY to MERRITT AVENUE lately ?

[BigMusky]

I went out there for first time last weekend with a buddy from work who fishes their regularly. Quite the site to say the least with hundreds of trucks on ice. Marked fish all day, but got nothing. My ice fishing skills get worse each time I go out.

[walleyewackr]

i always have good success staying away form the groups, they are usually on some fish but they get spooky and they are constantly moving. go out on your own and cork some holes, dont set up shop but jig aggressivley with jiggin raps and see if you can draw any fish in, if not in 15 to 20 minutes move and keep movin till get on them. fish this lake a lot and some the very best days i have had threw the ice there hasnt been anyone within a mile of me. plus this year there its going to be a little tougher bite due to forage base. fish are fat and picky about what they eat

Well, the bridges are in and 2010 travel on Bago is safe and underway. Went out of Oshkosh on Monday. We drove out to 17 ft. of water and started to fish near the villages of trucks and ice houses. When you don't live near there and it is the first trip I figure they must be on the fish ? Marked a few but unable to get them to go. Spikes, minnow heads, raps, spoons, jigs were all in the presentations. We made at least 5 moves within a mile or two of our starting point, ending the day on Oshkosh reef in 13ft. of water. (the boat GPS was with us.) Each stop showed a few lookers on the vex. we only iced 1- 9" perch and lost a 10" plus at the hole. That was it. Any help out there would be appreciated, would like to go again this week.
