Hey Sportsfans,

“It’s cold and wavy.” — Hunter
“It is not warm today.” — Tilden

The weather this week started off strong with beautiful sunshine, but conditions gradually shifted to a more spring-like pattern, bringing rain, clouds, wind, and temperatures in the 60s.

On Friday, we even had customers coming into the shop looking for gloves and additional layers because they were so cold. The upcoming week is expected to be much of the same, so make sure you’re dressing appropriately for the weather. Remember, it’s always colder on the water than it is on land.

The fish are still biting in the Northwest Angle. We are seeing success with both jigging and pulling spinners. Most fish are being caught in the deep mud and rubble south of Garden Island in 30–40 feet of water. We will continue anchoring and jigging through June.

A strong cold front and heavy winds have created some unfavorable fishing conditions, making it a little more challenging to put together a shore lunch. Even so, anglers who adapt to the conditions are still finding success.

Set the Hook!
