Roger's Outdoor Notes

8-30-16 FISHING REPORTS:   In Manitowoc County the water is starting to cool down near shore but fishing is still inconsistent. Spoons seem to be the most productive for anglers on the lake. Chinook and rainbows are the most consistent catch with an occasional coho, laker or brown. Some fish are being caught in shallower water less than 40 feet but mixed results are coming from various depths. Pier anglers are catching a few fish in the mornings but action has been general slow. Look for action to pick up as the fall run approaches and lake waters cool down some more.   In Kewaunee County strong west wind early this past week brought cooler water along the Kewaunee shoreline. Anglers were having success trolling shallow near the mixing waters of Lake Michigan with turbid waters of the Ahnapee and Kewaunee rivers.  Once the lake calmed later in the week, fish became scattered and anglers were reporting a good bite from 60-150 feet of water. Although the bite has been inconsistent, fishing has been fairly good in both Algoma and Kewaunee this past week. The Bay of Green Bay has a mixed bag of fish being caught and the bite is very spotty. Best thing to do is check with the sport shops in the bay area.
