Episode 32
Bass by the Islands
Show Date: August 8th & 9th, 2009
Location: Washington Island; Door County, Wisconisn
Guide: Pro Guide & Charter Captain Dale Stroschein [ 920-743-5731 | wackywalleye.com]
We are fishing the islands of Door County, Wisconsin this week. There are six islands that are included in the small and large mouth bass season that runs from July 1st till March 1st. Those islands are Washington, Detroit, Plum, Pilot, Hog or Rock Islands. The regulations state that you must be within a ¼ mile of shore, which is no problem for us, since we are fishing the shorelines. We are in an average depth of 2-7 feet, and trying all types of search engines to search out these trophy fish. Dales search engines include crank-baits, spinner-baits, and the wacky-worm on a bass hook.
Dale has us on a spot that is known for trophy fish, and not numbers. No worries though, we catch plenty of trophies on our daylong tour fishing primarily Washington Island. We love to catch bass, and its especially cool when were in 3 feet of crystal clear water. We hunt around for black rocks, and when we cast toward them, they start moving and we end up with a fantastic fighting bass on the line
Hey not to be a jerk but is it true John, you offered to buy a dead trout off a guy in Port Washington by the power plant and put it on your hook for one of your shows?

Detroit harbor has 4-7 pounders every 50-100 feet swimming in groups of 2 or 3. Last summer i caught a 5lb 10oz bass by throwing a crankbait past what I thought was a rock till it moved. That same day my friend caught a 51 inch pike in the harbor which again looked like a log.
