Walleye fishing report for Cable are Northwestern Wisconsin

Good musky action on Lake Namakagon, particularly in green weed areas.

On 3,200-acre Lake Namakagon, one of northern Wisconsin's premier
gamefishing waters, out of Lakewoods Resort & Conference Center, fishing
guide Dave Scanlon reports:

Musky fishing has been the best thing going.  Fish 12 to 15 feet if you can
find GREEN WEEDS.  If you can't, then fish DEEPER over hardbottom or
transition areas (green weeds are harder to come by as each day passes and
the water temps continue to fall -- but, green weeds are still the best
when it comes to locating musky).  The areas to look for are deeper
shorelines or deeper breaking areas.  Use a sucker or jerkbaits, and some
fish are being caught using crankbaits when trolling.  Musky are going to
48 inches, but normally, not that large (in the low 40s is generally what
you'll get, and 'that ain't bad').

Walleye have been tough, but they are getting some, deep.  Fish hardbottom,
25 to 35 feet.  Jig with a bigger walleye sucker.  The walleye are right on
the bottom.  Average eaters.

Northerns have slowed down some, but they are being caught, when anglers
are going for walleye.  The northern are deep right now (25 to 35 feet).
Average size, but very aggressive hit, when the northern bite.  Use a big
walleye OR northern sucker.  The northern will bite even bigger suckers
than the walleye, AND they are a real blast to catch!

Musky hitting well on Lake Namakagon.

gamefishing waters, out of Lakewoods Resort & Conference Center, fishing
guide Dave Scanlon reports:

Musky are doing real well.  Fish the GREEN WEED lines DEEP!  (You'll get
nothing in the dying or dead weeds which are shallow -- only the deep weeds
are still green).  Go 12 to 30 feet, using a sucker (13 to 16 inches), or a
jerkbait.  Excellent action, with the musky going into the mid 40s
consistently.

Decent, if not real consistent walleye action over hard and transition
bottom, 20 to 30 feet of water.  Use a good-sized walleye sucker.  The
walleye are all average eaters -- no real big lunkers.  One real nice
bonus, is that you'll pick up some aggressive smallies while going for the
walleye.  And bonus number two:  The northern are deep, too!  You'll get
some nice northern while going for the walleye.  Make sure the walleye
sucker you're using is good size.

Best musky action of the season right now on Lake Namakagon out of
Lakewoods Resort.

On 3,200-acre Lake Namakagon, one of northern Wisconsin's premier
gamefishing waters, out of Lakewoods Resort & Conference Center, fishing
guide Dave Scanlon reports:

Musky are really chowing down, with lots of big females being caught.  Fish
the weed edges, 5 to 20 feet and use either a sucker of a jerkbait.
Excellent action, with fish going into the high 40s.

Walleye are deep, 20 to 30 feet.  Use a small sucker or fathead on a jig.
Average eaters, however.  Not a lot of lunkers being caught.

Northern are pretty much all over, around the weed edges, in 10 to 20 feet
(same generally depths and areas as the musky).  Use a spinner or a
northern sucker.  Not a lot on size, but nice, aggressive fish.

Crappies and gills are both being caught on WAXIES (not a misprint!).  Fish
8 to 10 feet, over and around brush piles, or a crib if you can find one.
Most anglers tossing the crappie back, because the gills are
proportionately bigger.
