Show Date: June 13th & 14th, 2009
Location: Lake Winnebago Oshkosh, Wisconsin
Guide: Pro Guide Larry Smith [920-361-4996 | walleyeguide.com]

Its finally a decent weather day this year, and we get to spend it with Larry Smith on beautiful Lake Winnebago. We join a few of Larrys guide customers as we cast the reeds looking for walleyes. Lake Winnebago is a very vestal fishery, and has a bounty of fish that are all fun to catch. We experience that bounty on this trip, finding walleye, bass, and northern pike all congregated in the same areas that we are fishing.

We start out using a variety of live bait: minnows, night crawlers, and leeches. We find that today artificial baits are the way to go, casting Rattletraps and Cleos. We are ripping these baits through the weeds, and these fish are hitting hard. Once we find the hot baits, our rods are bent all day, which is great on a flat calm day. Larry usually fishes the reefs when there is more wind, but on a calm day working the shorelines is where youll find the fish.
