Location: Oconto Falls, WI | Some of the deep lakes were over 50° yet. Some of the shallower ones were approaching 40° I heard. I saw between 45-52° on the couple I was on over the weekend. |

Location: Milwaukee, WI | I was up in boulder jctn on fishtrap/high lake oct 17-22. the first 2 days was the hottest action ive ever seen. 4 fish in the boat, 2 on bucktails @ night, 1 on a sucker, 1 on a topwater. had 4 misses on sucker rigs, 2 that the hooks never set, & 2 where the fish dropped it before we could position ourselves for the hook set. we also had 2 fish miss on surface baits & 2 follows. all fish were between 4 and 12 ft of water. after that, we had a low pressure front w/ snow & freezing rain come through & the fish turned off like someone flipped a switch. by the look of the electronics, the water was starting to mix by the end of the week. sry, i dont have a temp, as the thermometer on the hummingbird was broken or malfunctioning. good luck, I hope this helps. |
