The gamefish opener is this coming weekend Saturday May 7!
My 18 foot Alumacraft 185 Tournament Pro is geared up, rigged, loaded and ready to go!
I am excited to field test many new baits this spring with my clients! Fishing artificials such as plastic soft baits, hard baits such as cranks, jigs, spinners and blade baits are fun and very productive in spring for the opener.
I am excited to get out on the water chasing bass, walleyes, pike and muskies with many new baits from Berkley, Yum, Bomber, Booyah, Smithwick, Kalins, Excalibur, Yo Zuri, Inhaler Lures, Musky Innovations, Strike King and Gamakatsu to name a few!
Openings are still available for the opener!

Rock River Walleye Run
With changing spring weather the temps have been all over the board this April. The water levels have been changing rapidly making for a daily chore keeping track of the flooding. Most of the water has receded off of the roads and access is not as much of a challenge as earlier in the month.
Most of the larger females in the initial push up river have spawned out. Many of the fish have moved out into Lake Koshkonong or have hunkered down in the river finding slack water to rest after the spawning ritual. Many of the walleyes this spring were nice size with many ranging between 17-23".
Most of the fish caught in my boat slipping the current using 3/8-1/2 oz. Northland Gum Ball Jigs adjusting the weight based on the current. Fishing the jigs tipped with Yum Walleye Grubs, Kalins Grubs, Berkley Gulp! Alive Minnows, Power bait 3" Grubs and Ringworm Grubs just to name a few. We also had success on the tougher days tipping the jigs with magnum fatheads, medium shiners or a half crawler.
The trolling bite should start to heat up running planer boards with cranks and crawler harnesses in the next few weeks. White Bass are starting to show up but are still not in the river in large numbers. The surface temp is approaching the mid-50's which means the White bass run is yet to come.
If you want to get on some great river walleye jigging or trolling drop me a line at reddyguideservice@yahoo.com or give me a call at 262-949-3470. Good Fishing All!

Wolf River Run
Had a great time up at the Wolf River this April with a few days on the water fishing New London and Fremont. Caught nice walleyes ranging between 12-18". Too busy reeling in fish to take pictures! Water was between 41-43 degrees with most of the days being 45-55 degrees with calm to 15-20 mph winds. Most of the walleyes were pre-spawn with mostly males showing up. Not many big females were present quite yet.
