Now is as good a time as any to come fish the waters of North-Central WI with us! Walleye fishing was still excellent over the weekend, with every trip resulting in catches of limits of walleyes. Livebait has worked well with nightcrawlers seemingly the 'meat' of choice for the time being. While the average size is very respectable in the upper teens, fish into the mid twenty inch range are available on a daily basis.

The smallmouth bite has also been very good with a variety of lure selections producing action during the day light hours.

Lipless style crankbaits such as PT Pro Rattlers and in-line spinners like a Mepps Aglia or Aglia Long have been working well. Musky action has been good during the early or late portions of the day; speed has been a trigger as of late. Try burning an orange or chartreuse Mepps Giant Killer for some aggressive strikes. Noisy topwater lures such as Topraiders have also been working.

Tight lines,

Joel DeBoer

Bio: Greetings and welcome to the Northwoods! My name is Joel DeBoer; I grew up fishing the waters of Central and Northern Wisconsin and enjoying the beauty of Wisconsin's outdoors - I can guarantee you will enjoy them as well! As owner of Wisconsin Angling Adventures, I'll work hard to keep you on the fish and show you a good time out on the water! Through countless days and nights on the water, I have worked hard to uncover local "hotspots" while prefecting the techniques necessary to produce trophy fish from them. I have been an active member of Muskies Inc. and Bill's Musky Club, and am responsible for numerous awards for muskies caught and released by my clients as well as myself. In addition to guiding, I am an active musky tournament fisherman, having multiple Top 10 finishes. Not only do I fish tournaments for muskies, but a variety of local tournaments for walleyes and bass. I am active on the internet - providing articles and fishing reports to over 15 different web sites, in addition to doing web-radio shows. I am a published outdoor author and educator, including my weekly column, "The Guides Corner" in the Everest Herald. I specialize in multi-media presentations and seminars on the vast aspects of musky fishing. Please feel free to email me, at ANY time. In addition, take an opportunity to visit my bio pages at the St. Croix Rod or VMC Hooks Pro-Staff pages as a further reference. I am thankful to the wonderful companies I am privileged to work with promotionally: Bait Rigs * DeLONG Lures * Ducktail Lures * Dunwright Tackle * Frabill * Mepps * Mister Twister * Mercury * Optima Batteries * Pure Fishing (Abu Garcia, Berkley, Stren) * Roberts Outdoors * St. Croix * VMC Hooks
