Late Ice Season Is Going Strong!


Many of our inland lakes in south eastern Wisconsin have solid ice ranging from 8-18”. The bite has been fantastic fishing smaller deep Kettle Lakes in the Whitewater area for crappies, gills and perch.

Larger lakes like Delavan and Geneva have had a good shallow water bite for crappies and gills along with a deep water bite for suspended crappie and bottom dwelling perch.

The lake trout bite on Geneva has been excellent with ice being safe in many key laker haunting areas.

Ice fishing the harbor areas in Milwaukee and Racine has yielded some great catches of Steelhead and Brown Trout jigging and running my Automatic Fisherman’s tipped with spawn and minnows.

Boat fishing within the harbor areas has been good in Milwaukee casting and jigging catching lake trout, brown trout and steelhead. Drift fishing up river has also been producing a solid bite.

The spring walleye run is still on hold with the Rock River still being locked up with ice. As soon as the river opens the bite will be fast and furious I am sure!

Now is the time for some great spring fishing! Give Capt. John a call or email to book your trip at such an opportune time……..time is of the essence so don’t wait!
