Oconto River

Blue gill and some small mouth are still being caught below the Dam at Stiles on the Oconto River although the catch rates have dropped this past week. Fishing the mouth of the Oconto River is still producing some small mouth, cat fish, and drum mainly using live bait. Fishing Young's Reef this past week was producing very good success with most anglers rip Jigging. Trolling crawler/harness and bottom bouncers was also working well. Perch anglers were having some success from the Pensaukee River to Oconto Park II fishing in 6 to 14 feet of water using minnows and crawler chunks. The most productive time to fish has been early morning.
Genoas Beach- The launch was consistently full throughout the week and weekend despite the strong winds that kept many anglers home. Only a few interviews were taken and all the anglers interviewed were in search for walleye. Some spent a short time on the water due to the weather change and came home empty while others had a couple fish to take home.
