For once taking a half day off work paid off! Launched at the Neenah Rec launch headed toward a group out from the river. Moved a number of times in the general area from 12' to 9' and wound up with one here, another there, until the last spot gave me 2 before I left around 5:45. So, 6 total perch, smallest probably 9 1/2, and a bunch of sheeps. Enough to keep a guy entertained for a few hours. Of note, I bled them out on ice and it made a huge difference in how the fillets look, and the minimal mess while cleaning them was also appreciated.
Noticed a group had congregated on Outer Bar when I was headed in. Wonder if they did any better.

Fished from about 9 am until 2 pm. Tried 3 different spots in 12 feet, 16 feet and 10 feet on the west shore near Oshkosh. Tons of sheephead out in 16 feet, 12 feet didn't have much at all and 10 feet produced a couple small walleyes, 3 keeper bluegills and several smaller ones and 6 keeper perch, about that many thrown back as well. It was a bit slow out there but I brought home enough for a meal and that's all I care about.
A good day on Winnebago. Dead stick and slip bobber with crawler pieces or worms took these. The three walleye came on slip bobber with just a worm. Fished three spots 11’, 12’ and 14’ all on hard bottom with scattered rock rubble. Caught another 10-12 small walleyes 8”-13”. Plenty of sheepshead and a few smallies.
I have a comfy safe 17 foot Lund tiller motor all the bells and whistles. All legal and ready to fish. Going out Saturday may fish for 4 hours maybe 6. Depends on the weather the fishing and such. Any way. I always enjoyed vets an baseball nuts. If you're interested text Critter at 262-388-7909...,
Report is from this past Sunday. Had a couple hours so I went out in search of a perch dinner.
Started fishing nearshore structure 10-12 FOW and caught a few bluegills and a nice eater walleye.
After that bite slowed down I ventured out to some offshore structure fishing 8-10 FOW. Got into a pile of bluegills and was also fortunate enough to catch a couple of nice perch.
Best action was on redworms, but was also getting bit on 1/4 chunk crawler. Deadstick, dropshot and slip bobber all took fish.
