Today’s sunrise was bright and early at 5:13 AM, and you can expect sunset to roll in at 8:39 PM. No tides to worry about here, just classic Wisconsin freshwater action. Weather’s looking prime for fishing—temps sitting comfortably in the mid-70s, light winds out of the southwest, and barometers steady. Water clarity is fair in most areas, and the surface temp is coming in around 76°F, giving the fish plenty of energy to move around.
On the bite front, the walleye action has been solid as we push into midsummer. Reports from the Fond du Lac reefs say walleyes have been snapping, with one local hauling in three legal fish in 20 minutes before downsizing started taking over the action. Most of the better fish are coming off the reefs and transitions, especially where the bottom shifts from hard to soft. Trolling crankbaits, harnesses, and blade rigs has been productive, and now’s a great time to work weed edges or breaklines in 14 to 18 feet. If you’re a live bait fan, crawler harnesses and leeches on a slow drift are old standbys.
Perch fishing’s been a little tougher lately, with most boats working hard for just a fish or two, but there’s a trick—locals are having better luck rigging a simple sinker and hook tipped with a butter worm. Set your bait 6–8 inches off bottom in that 14–16 foot sweet spot, and work the transition zones. Red worms under a slip bobber have also put a few in the bucket. Average perch size has been around 10.5 inches.
Bass are active, especially in the early morning or late evening on deeper weed edges and around riprap. Topwater plugs at dawn, then soft plastics or spinnerbaits as the sun gets up are the ticket.
Remember, there’s some DNR attention on the area after a recent catch of invasive round goby near the Bowen Street Fishing Pier in Oshkosh, so keep an eye out and snap a photo if you land anything you’re not sure about. Report those catches to help keep our fishery healthy.
For hot spots, give the reef edges off Fond du Lac a shot for walleye, or poke around the mouth of the Fox River for a mix of bass, drum, and the occasional pike. North and west sides near Blackwolf and the transition flats in 14–16 feet are running strong for perch and walleye alike.
