Sportsfishing the Great Lakes - Sheboygan

The fishing is really heating up! We've had a great mix of guests on our boats this year!

The Kings are starting to make a great showing!

23lb King Salmon!This young fisherman battled it out with a brute of a King Salmon off the shores of Sheboygan!

Another young fisherman holds his trophy high!
It's not just guys and young fishermen, but the women are just as skilled at sportsfishing!
Great smile while hoisting a Lake Michigan Salmon!

Couples are also showing up to fish with the Wolf Pack! A little rivalry never hurts.
Groups of campers, boys and girls, have taken some GREAT Lakes catches while learning to fish with the Wolf Pack.
Of course, good friends get together to get some great grilling Salmon and Trout.

Mixed bag catches of King & Coho Salmon, along with Rainbow Trout are a great treasure here in the waters off Sheboygan.

Alright! Folks those are some bruiser fish...the center fish is 23lbs. Each of these fish have "shoulders" that can really put up a fight!

Again, it doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl, a couple, good friends, or a group of women -- fishing with the Wolf Pack is awesome!
Without our guests, this is just a catch. But with you folks, these become memories!

Lake Michigan Sportsfishing - Sheboygan

Wolf Pack takes campers out fishing....for some of these youngsters, it's their first time!

Here is this young camper's FIRST fish! Nice catch....look at that smile. What a moment!
The Wolf Pack has been finding the fish...and that keeps the smiles coming!
Here is a nice Rainbow....I'll get the grill going for ya!

Another fun trip with a mixed bag.

Yeeeup...her fish is bigger!

You gotta love family fishing...whether it's a tradition being handed down, or a hobby that is new to both, fishing can be a great team building activity!

Ah, the fruits of their labor! Nice catch guys!

Captain Patrick Kalmerton taking a nice afternoon break. The Wolf Pack works hard so you have a memorable trip!

Sportsfishing Walleye!

Walleyes were going pretty strong!

All the walleyes you see are from 18-23 inches. Caught on the bay of Green Bay on 06/09/08. We trolled from 1.2 - 1.5 using crawler harnesses with Jeffs blades running 30-45 feet behind the board with no weight. With today's gas prices, why would we need to go to Lake Erie?

Nice Walleye...some real great meals there and one decent Catfish. It's been a little tough fishing with the weather and boat landings being flooded...but the Wolf Pack has been able to find the fish!

Lake Michigan Sportsfishing

Lake Michigan can be a force when she doesn't want you on her waters.

On the other hand, she has many great gifts of bounty when she does let you on her waters! Beautiful Rainbow Trout!

Tisma Juett, Promotions Manager from Bass Pro Shops, even came up from Illinois to fish with Wolf Pack. Awesome Brown Trout.

There she is...the newest addition to the Wolf Pack...the Wolf Pack II.
This is a trip to the North of town in 6-20 f.o.w. using Jeffs Tackle and Thunder Sticks. We had Midwest Outdoors film crew with Tisma Juett with Bass Pro Shops.
Lately we have been fishing in 70-120 feet of water, straight out of the harbor! Fish are coming on a mix of Magnum Screemer and JB Spoons on the riggers and leadcore The Divers have been run down deep for Kings, Lake Trout, and Rainbows have been biting bright colored mini and regular size Screamer Spoons and JB Rattle Spoons on the boards and high slide divers.

On Elkhart Lake, the bass are hittin a variety of nightcrawlers, leaches, and Pumpkinseed or black/chartreuse tube jigs off of the drop offs!

Sportfishing Crappies!

The Crappie fishing has been spot-on! Lake Winnebago Crappies were BIG!

Some of these slabs were in the 12" range consistently...with a couple of 13" found. Good early evening action has been the ticket on the Oshkosh side!

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....?
