Sportsfishing Sheboygan River

The combination of lower water levels and some scouting a few days ago made for a successful trip for these two anglers! If the Crappie were active, then the Small Mouth (Smallies) Bass were on the attack!

Smallies were plentiful.

Working the pockets of the river can yield some nice sized fish.

Here's a brute Smallie. With light tackle, these fish can be a blast!
Eventually the Crappie get into the act -- another great fighting fish on light tackle!
Now, the next set of pics are from scouting trips a couple of days in advance...and even a week prior as you will notice in the water level. We had spinning gear and fly gear. The most productive bait -- minnows.

Here is a nice Smallie...not that long, but definitely fat!

All the Northern Pike you see were released and the photos are not repeats...between the three of us we landed 20 Pike! What an afternoon...we did not get photos of all the Pike.

Even my son (Wolf Pack guide in training) practices his fly fishing techniques and lands a Red-Horse Sucker.

Another fish to add to the "Huh?" file.

Different trip, more Pike on crank baits. This is my wife's 1st of the day....
.....her 2nd.....
....and her 3rd... she knows how to pick the spots.
Knowing the river and your limits is the wise way to fish...the wife is in a safe spot despite the photo's appearance.
This Spring's weather has been odd at times, but there has been some productive days fishing!

Whether it's spinning gear or fly gear...there is a Wolf Pack Adventure waiting for you!

The wife fights a fish on one of new flys she tied...but it spit the hook...darn it!

What do you do when the net is way over by your son....?

Brown Trout fishing remained good through the changing weather

Beautiful silvery Brown Trout

Nice catch in this team effort the Wolf Pack participated in.

This is the perfect size Brown Trout for grilling!

Fights on and everyone gets into it!

Strike a pose with your catch

Cheers!

Congratulations to Captain Greg... a long time First Mate with the Wolf Pack, he is now one of their Captains! How do you run planner boards? What are they? The boards run off the side of your boat by many yards, paralleling your path. The boards have a single solid line running from the boat to board. On this solid line, the crew can run fishing lines and baits at various distances from the sides of the boat.
First you attach the fishing line to a clothes pin with a rubber-band.....

then you hook the clothes pin on the solid line with a curtain clamp....

let the clothes pin go and it slides down the line until you set the "clicker" on your rod.

The board is cut in such a way that it just parallels the boat as long as you are moving.

When the rod goes off, reach for it and set the hook!

Fight the fish...go go go!

There you have planner board fishing

There is plenty of great fishing ahead, so Catch the Spirit with the Wolf Pack and get addicted....the Wolf Pack sure is!
