It looks like spring has finally showed some life! Along with spring came a little window of steelhead fishing that will be short lived with the fast warming water! But with warmer water and dropping river levels comes smallmouth bass and northern pike.

 Some fresh fish and some leftover fish from this winter are being caught. The silver fish above is a female that was ready to drop her eggs. This male below has been in the river awhile hence the pretty colors!

 

This male was hanging with a female protecting the bed but got fooled! He was released and went back to his mate and finished their process of reproduction!

The piers are finally in allowing us to splash our charter boats and start the Lake Michigan season. This coming week the 28ft baha will be in and ready for action There should be some brown trout to catch! We will keep you posted!

 We are prepping the boats for the Lake Michigan 2013 season. The 28ft baha will be ready to go in a few weeks and ready to terrorize some of these brown trout!! Don't miss out on this spring opportunity fishing the shorelines!!

 There's a good chance at catching a trophy sized brown this time of year!

 The summer salmon is months away but the dates are filling up faster everyday. Get your date picked and call to secure your spot in our books!

 With almost record setting catch numbers in 2012, were looking with another great season with a good chance of some bigger sized kings if the trend continues!

 Also this spring comes the steelhead run! The river is mainly loose but moving like crazy. Keep in touch if you want to tie into some of these on our local tribs!

 A trophy sized steelhead is possible as well! This beauty weighed in at 14 pounds!!

The number to all this madness is 920-918-9653. Call today!!

 Got to love a trip with family bonding of future generations!

 A nice walleye that ended the evening of a fishing trip!

 More family bonding with a pile of fish! Crappies were on fire!!

 The game fish season closes this season until the first Saturday of May but a few pre spawn females were on the feed!

 Caught this fish during a fisheree and placed 3rd place!

 Late ice is approaching and we have the Frabill jiggler long poles to give the panfish the hurt! Even a bonus bass can be caught during this!

 Another nice pre spawn female pike! These fish on tip ups is a blast as you fight them by hand!

 A cool shot of the spoon this pike ate! There was no getting off of this fish!

 Its too bad the pike fishing is closed now for the year but don't worry we will be ready to be back at them next winter!

 It is panfish time in the state! As spring approaches and the ice starts to melt, it can be some of the hottest fishing of the season!

 We will be watching the ice and keep on these fish until the ice is gone! There is about 20 inches of ice in the areas we fish and will be safe to catch these tasty morsels for a few more weeks.

 

 The boats are being buffed, polished, and primed up for lake Michigan 2013! Dates are starting to book up so get your date as soon as possible and lets see you this summer!!

Woman on Winnebago

 Well we are back from a week filled of media and woman! We were lucky enough to take part in the Woman on Winnebago event the past weekend out of Fond du lac!

 None of the ladies in the event were lucky enough to spear a sturgeon but here is a shot of someone who was!

 A big thanks goes out to Wendt's on the Lake for the shack rentals and a great lunch on Sunday.

 A Kodak moment brought to you by Frabill.

 In the afternoons, We guided the woman on the Winnebago system! Here is a big gill that guide Greg pulled out while scouting! The chartruse majmun jig from Custom Jigs and Spins was the ticket for these fish.

 Frabill pro and Professional walleye angler Marianne Huskey takes a turn at cutting a sturgeon hole!

 Throughout the few days too we did some filming with the guys from Custom Jigs and Spins for product promotion on Midwest Outdoors. Here is Walt Matan with a nice perch!

 Another participant of the WOW event takes her shot at cutting a sturgeon hole.

 Carrie from the convention of visitors bureau in Fond du lac cuts a sturgeon hole! These ice saws carry a 4 foot long blade!

 Barb Carey of Wisconsin Woman Fish pulled this nice gill!

 

Guide Greg and Poppee Matan with their morning film catch! Watch these episodes next winter!

 

The fish are still active and ice is in great shape with some more cold temperatures coming this weekend. The ice should last awhile and panfshing should remain hot for many more weeks! We are on them so lets get some in your pail!

We were up in our eagle river area guiding this past weekend. Warm temps made for some good fishing weather to stay mobile to get on some really nice fish.

The fishing was so good the Frabill snowman even got in on the action.

A bunch of nice crappies were found working the weed edges in the afternoons!

Can't read the tape in the picture that well but the fish measured out at 14 inches. A true slab!

Here is Amanda with her first ever walleye! What a great start on her walleye board as this fish measured out at 23 inches.

Another big crappie pictured with the Frabill rod that took it!

Amanda and Kyle got a nice meal of bluegills,crappies, and perch along with a walleye.

Welcome to Hiawatha lodge. Its our new home in Eagle River. Nice northwoods style rooms, continental breakfast, and a group area with a movie theater and pool table!

Another nice crappie caught on a Northland Forage minnow!

Here is Wolf Pack guide Greg with a fish he caught while fishing with the customers. This fish measured out at a whopping 14.5" and is going to look beautiful on his wall! A true trophy!

Here is Kyle with a big 13 inch crappie!

 

With this winters crazy weather, there is still lots of good safe ice at our locations. We have a good solid month of game fish season to go and some late ice panfish in march as long as conditions allow. Come get in on this action!

Trout through the ice!!

The bite was slow this morning but we were able to muster up this nice hen steehead! This isn't a trip that usually provides a ton of action but the fish are always nice like this! Brown trout, steelhead, and northern pike can be found while fishing with us in our marina and river systems!

Fox Lake Crappie

 If this kind of scenery doesn't get you excited to get on the ice, its just not in your blood!

 Another sunrise shot. The crappies have been on a feeding frenzy!

 The pile is just getting started! Nothing better than a fish fry coming from these frigid waters!

 Another for the pile and the Humminbird Ice 55 has more down there waiting!

 Ice conditions are great and continue to get better!

Whether your destination is fox lake area or eagle river area we are on some good bites! Come find out for yourself and get your Kodak moment on this report page!
