Whats Hot And When With Hudson's On The Spot
| January (Ice Fishing) A Great Month For Near Shore Fishing Of Browns, Splake, Coho, Whitefish, Trophy Walleyes, And Herring. Either In The Apostle Islands Or Chequamegon Bay. Also, This Is The Start To Our Deep Water Fishing Of Lake Trout In The Apostle Islands. February (Ice Fishing) Most Time Is Spent Fishing The Deep Water Of The Apostle Islands For Lake Trout. Chequamegon Bay Has Slowed Down Fishing Wise Along With The Near Shore Species. March (Ice Fishing) We Are Still Fishing Deep For Lake Trout, But The Near Shore And Chequamegon Bay Fishing Has Resurrected. Also, This Is An Exciting Time To Fish Steelhead (Rainbow Trout) In Shallow Water Near River Mouths. Lake Trout Fishing Is Usually Done By The Second Or Third Week Of March And We Concentrate On Shallower Species. April (In-Between) Ice Out Is Usually Mid-April, But We Can Still Be Fishing On The Ice Near Ashland On Chequamegon Bay. As The Ice Leave, In The Apostle Islands First, We Start Working The Shorelines For Exciting Brown Trout, Splake, Coho, King Salmon, And Steelhead Action. This Is Also A Great Time For Trophy Lake Trout In The Apostle Islands. Also, We Fish Pre-Spawn Walleyes Along With A Shot At Post Spawn Pike In Chequamegon Bay. A Great Month For Action For Trout And A Shot At A Trophy Walleye. May (Open Water) SmallMouth Bass Season Opens Again And The End Of May Is A Great Month For Huge Numbers Of Our Famed Bass, Either Pre-Spawn Or Spawn. Walleye Fishing Is Still Great Along With Near Shore Trout And Salmon. The St. Louis River Walleye Season Opens With A Chance At Good Numbers Of Fish Along With Trophy Potential. The End Of The Month Musky Season Opens And We Offer Trips For Exciting Crappie And Bluegill Action. June (Open Water) SmallMouth Fishing Is Still Very Good For Pre, Post, and Spawn Smallies. We Can See Upwards Of 30 Or More Fish A Day. Walleye Fishing Is Still Great, Including Chequamegon Bay, St. Louis River, And The South Shore. Lake Trout Fishing Picks Up With Good Numbers Of Fish. Musky Fishing Also Is Getting Better Along With Great PanFish Potential. July(Open Water) Open Water Trolling Tactics Are The Name Of The Game For Most Species Now. Lake Trout And Walleyes. From The Apostle Islands To Chequamegon Bay To The South Shore. Action Can Be Great And The Fish Are Usually Feeding Heavily. Bass Fishing Moves Off Shore But Continues To Be Good. Musky Are Now Feeding Heavily With Warmer Water Temperatures. August (Open Water) The Dog Days Of Summer Have Arrived. Lake Trout Fishing Is Still Going Strong Along With Good Numbers Of Walleye And Bass. The End Of August Shows The Early Stages Of Any Signs Of King Salmon Coming To The Rivers To Spawn. Bass Are Still Off Shore And Are Feeding Heavily. September (Open Water) The Water Is Beginning To Cool On All Waters Of The Area. We See A Surge of Lake Trout Starting To Move To Spawning Areas, As The Season Closes At The End Of The Month. Smallies Are Starting To Feed Heavily As The Month Winds Down. Great Pre-Turnover Topwater ActionMusky. King Salmon Are Staging As Well. October (Open Water) Most Hunters Are In The Woods And The Lakes Seem Empty. But, This Month Can Be One Of The Hottest Fishing Months For Near Shore Trolling Action For Browns, Splake, Coho, and Steelhead In The Islands And Near River Mouths Areas. Lake Trout Season Is Now Closed But The Smallies Are Really Putting On The Feed Bag. Musky Fishing Is Good, With Sucker Fishing Starting With The Cooling Temps. Excellent Time Of Year To See The Fall Colors And Enjoy A Great Day on The Water. November (Transition To Open Water To Ice) Near Shore Trolling Is Still Great For All Hearty Souls. Some Of The Best Action For Trout And Salmon Again With Colder Water Temps. The End Of November We Are Usually Seeing Inland Waters Starting To Skim Over And Our Ice Season Can Begin For PanFish and Walleyes On These Waters. Great Action For Those Species. December (Ice) Chequamegon Bay, On Average, Is Iced Over The First Week Or Two Of This Month. Action Can Be Fast And Furious For Trout/Salmon, Walleyes, And SmallMouth. Some Are Still Fishing Out Of Boats, But Ours Is Put Away To Accommodate The Ice Fisher. Inland Water Trips Are Being Done For Walleyes, Pike, And PanFish.
