I’ve been receiving a lot of inquiries from Anglers looking to coordinate there fishing trip with a HOT BITE for a particular species. Here is a general outline of how I would do so keeping in mind you need to also need to be in good standings with “Ma Nature” to align the stars….
End of December through January is prime time for Monster Walleyes through the ice. This past season we ended up with just under 40 walleyes over 26 inches in that stretch.
Feb-Mid April are great for combination trips fishing Walleyes, Pike and panfish. Keep in mind here on the border we can ice walleyes through mid April!!
End of April into the first couple weeks of May are awesome for monster Pike!! This year we ended up with exactly 40 pike exceeding 10lbs with 2 over 20lbs!!
Mid May until first week or so in June can be very good timing for monster slabs!! Eyes and Pike will be had also.
First Part of June has Smallies around the beds and can produce awesome topwater action.
July-August has some of the best quality walleye fishing in the state. Big numbers of big fish plus eating fish!!
September-October is my personal favorite for Trophy walleyes and often non-stop Crappie action. Last September-October we CPR’d 11 eyes over 28 inches!!
November is for the hardcore anglers looking for Trophy fish prior to ice up!!
For Family trips in which the kids might want to dip there toes in the water I’d shoot for July and August!! Big water takes a long time to warm!!
Hope this helps a few of you boys, and remember based on Ma Natures agenda cycles can change a bit earlier or later, but this is a general timeframe that might allow you to better plan your next trip targeting your favorite species!!
