Both on Chequamegon Bay and into the Apostle Islands!! Great fishing and great summer weather equals a GREAT TIME. Come on up and get in on the action. Fishing has settled into summer patterns now, pushing us onto the hunt for great Lake Trout, SmallMouth and Walleye action. From into the islands to the bay, fishing has been great for numbers of fish and big fish too. Lake Trout are now in their typical summer areas and typical summer depths, from the Flats to Outer Island to structure off other islands. But, do sneak in shallow once in awhile, especially near structure on the mainland or shallows when the temps are right to catch a few fish as well. Typically, rigger and deep tactics like pound ball rigs are the key to getting bit on flats and a mixture of deep and mid-depth tactics will get you bit along structure. I use more flasher/dodger combos on flats and a mixture of these and spoons on structure. Run baits up high too, or do just run a spread from mid-depth to the surface over deeper Lake Trout grounds, as the salmon are still lurking about in these areas. For the Big Ol' Chequamegon Bay Smallies, these fish are scattered from shallow water to deep right now, and they are on a tear. Lots of options to look for as in spots to fish and tactics to use. Personally, for shallow water fish I like to power fish right now, finding active fish with active techniques such as; spinner baits, crankbaits, swim-jigs, and other fast moving options to locate em. Then slow down on 'em with finesse techniques if need be to grind a few more out. Deep water, tubes and creatures on the bottom, drop-shotting, Gulp! and darterhead jigs, slow rolled spinnerbaits, cranks, and wacky rigged worms on jigs are some good options. Also, do not forget that at times live bait can be the best bait. Nightcrawlers, leeches and sucker minnows. Fish are still in the Sand Cut and Kakagon and out to offshore spots like the Rock Pile, Long Island and the Breakwall. Walleyes are scattered throughout the bay right now, moving with the bait. Cover water effectively for the best bite using trolling tactics. It is day to day for a crankbait bite or spinners. Also, some fish shallow as well, where casting Flicker Shads and Gulp! tails in the weeds is going well. If you fish the area and happen to catch a nice fish, check out the Ashland Chamber of Commerce Website and send in a picture of your fish or fishes. Also, be sure to stop at any of the local baitshops for info and buttons to cash in on the season long Tagged Fishing Contest.
