Bay of Green Bay and Door County Fishing Reports! 

For the week of May 23-30, 2025

Family walleye fishing on Green Bay

I still have a couple open days between now and the middle of June for anyone interested in getting in on this fun bite for some great eating fish!

Smallmouth Bass -  The smallmouth bass fishing has been very good this week, despite some tough weather conditions. Big north and east winds early on made access tough, while the holiday weekend brought in very little wind and flat calm conditions at times. Despite this, the smallies bit well, with some nice fish and good numbers being caught. Slow presentations like tubes and small Keitech swimbaits produced best, with a few other often overlooked baits producing very well during the low wind periods.  We brought quite a few fish exceeding the 5lb range to the boat this week, with all the fish in the northern part of Door County still in the pre-spawn phase. This bite will remain very good for a long while with the cool water temps!

Walleyes -  Walleye fishing continues to be veery productive on Green Bay, with good numbers of eater size fish and some nice "picture" fish mixed in at times as well. We've been getting limit catches on most our trips recently, as fish are still relatively shallow, and still feeding aggressively.  With the colder than normal water temps this spring, this bite should continue for a couple more weeks before these fish start to transition to their summer areas.

Other -   Perch fishing reopened on May 20th, and the fishing has been good despite the tough weather we mentioned in the other reports. Some really big perch are being caught with good numbers as well. Fish are still shallow at this point, with even shore fishermen catching decent numbers of fish at times.

 

Northern pike continue to provide good action, with better than normal catches for this time of year due to the cooler water temps this season. These can be a fun option when winds or weather keep you away from the bass or walleye areas. Pike are being caught in all the bays in Door County, with the ship canal being especially productive,
