The walleye fishing has been solid lately, both on the lower bay and around the Sturgeon Bay area. Trolling crankbaits or crawler harnesses as well as casting glide style baits and jigs has all been productive, with a nice mix of eater size fish as well as some bigger walleyes as well. Fish have been relating to both shallow and mid depth structures depending on the weather conditions. The walleye fishing will continue to remain good well into September before the fish transition to their late fall patterns.

The smallmouth fishing continues to be very good, with solid action for both numbers and some nice size fish as well. Both the northern part of Door County and the Sturgeon Bay area has been productive, with good numbers of bass being caught on both offshore humps and reefs, and mid depth flats near shorelines. Popular summer presentations like drop shots, ned rigs and small swimbaits like 2.8 -3.3in Keitechs remain a great choice.
This bite will remain very good well into September!
Smallmouth Bass
The salmon fishing continues to be good in the Door County area, with some kings and steelheads providing great action on most days. The Sturgeon Bay Bank Reef area has provided some of the most consistant action, although the northern part of Door County has been good too. Depths from 100-150 feet along the edge of the reef have been best for kings, with some nice rainbows being caught out in deeper water.
Perch fishing also continues to be good, with action on both the west and east shores of Green Bay. Mud flats and offshore rock structures are the best options right now, although there are some fish on the outside edges of shallow rock reefs as well. Crawlers and minnows have been the best choice, although we're catching lots of big perch trolling for walleyes as well.
