Menominee River

With the nice weather today low winds I went over to Marinette by myself. I caught 2   20” walleyes and a sucker casting a jig and minnow. Then worked the center of the river with a 3/8 oz and minnow and caught 3 on the first pass , a 22”, 23.5” a 28” not spawned out. Next pass another 28.5” spawned out and in the same spot the first 28 came. Then 2.5 hours not a bite so was time to go home. Got home it was 6 o’clock and 6 walleyes was a good day. ​

Just got done fishing the Menominee. The water temps are on the rise. This is how we did and what we used to catch them. 

Fished 4/9. Caught 6 eyes. 5 females all pre spawn. Fished 4/10 Caught 4 females all post spawn. Largest 26.5". Jigging the river and one in the bay on cranks.

Wednesday was fishing with Joe and Mike for 8 hours. It was a fun day with a bunch of big fish. We had 2- 24” , 2- 26” , 2- 27” and a 30 1/4” spawned out girl and a few smaller walleyes. Was a really good day for a change. Thanks guys.

Fished this morning from 9 till noon. Water temp was up to 46/47. Caught this 28" female, still pretty hard, still swimming. Took a 22" male home. Also got a nice 17" smalley that hit my jig and minnow.

Was over at Marinette on Saturday looking for some walleyes. We got there around 1:00 pm and went out on the lake, caught 2 right away and then it was petty slow. Moved in to the river around 3:00 , had a buddy with me and his dog with named Dewey. We both caught one on our first pass and went got 4 more fish in 2 hours. We ended up getting 6 walleyes between 19” to 24” a sucker and a small mouth. We’ll be back there Wednesday and stay in the river starting at 6:00 am. Thanks Dan it ended up being fun.

Fished today, from 1:30 to 4, caught a fat 25" female pretty quick. Had on what I think was a sturgeon, hugged the bottom till it took a little run and straighten my hook. Went home with a nice 20" male. Water was 39 degrees in the area I fished, lots of boats and didn't see many nets.

Just wondering if the launches are good to go or are they full of snow. I'm making the trip up in the morning, be there by noon.
Thank you
