Weekly fishing report
JSOnline - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - Wed, 02/17/2010 - 22:08
AREA LAKES Fishing has picked up with the stable weather. The game-fish season closes March 7. Northern pike fishing was good, with many fish more than 30 inches being caught. Weeds in 4 to 12 feet will hold the most fish. Tip-ups rigged with a heavy fluorocarbon leader, and a No. 6 or No. 4 treble hook have produced better than steel leaders. Large or jumbo golden shiners or medium suckers work best for bait. Place your bait just above the tops of weeds for best results. "Brined" jumbo smelt on a two-hook smelt rig also have produced, especially for bigger pike.
