| I have been in northern wi for two days and haven't had any contact with any fish. Water temps are about 50 degrees. Air temps the next couple days I am here will be 60 degrees. I have tried everything from mid-lake humps, weed edges, steep breaks, etc. Anybody have a suggestion on what to look for structure wise? Also how deep I should keep my boat in. Usually we have an idea by now, but just seeing if anyone has any ideas. |

| I’m on Lake Namakagon if you’re familiar with the area! This sucker shortage really threw a curveball. We found 3 when we first got here but they’ve since died, so now we are without the extra help from those. |

Location: mercer wi | Drive around look for bait fish and look at map to find any good looking structure near by. Points, weed bays, deep water that cuts up tight to shallow flats. Fish the wind as well. |

| a lakelink post i read this morning shared the same exact frustrations on an Oneida County lake from Wednesday. Stay the course and you could have 3 by noon today, or maybe not. I'd rather be fishing than at work today. |

| Lesson learned today, if you only have a dead sucker, put it out! We got a 41.5 incher in the boat this afternoon on a dead one! For sure a lesson learned today! |

| The last time we fished Namekagon at this time of year the fish were all found very shallow in whatever remaining green weeds we could find. One fish on a Burt, missed one on a Wabull. All the other action was from Pike and there were a lot of them. Soft tail gliders seemed to be best, though one guy in our group got a 46" throwing double 10's. |

Location: oswego, il | My understanding is namekagon is very low density so expect more fishless days than not. Our club rented a house on it for a club outing coming up and I don't know anyone who is actually fishing the lake.
