    When are you looking to go?

    I was fishing the northern part of Door County, WI this weekend about 40 miles south. Last week there were north winds that blew cold water down from the northern part of Green Bay. Temps dropped almost 10 degrees to the high 40s. So my best guess is that area up there has got to be high 40s low 50s right now.

    I was on Big 5/18-21. Water was not cold. Ogantz was up to 64, Fishdam the same. Most all fish caught were on beds, saw several empty beds, very few pre-spawn ones. A guy in our group talked to someone on the water from the DNR, the water warmed up 15 degrees in a week from the warm weather in early May. Based on what I saw, you would be mostly post spawn. I've been going up for the last 8 years and around Memorial weekend has been the time to go, except for the last 2 years. Went a week earlier this year and should have been there the week before

    Quick report
    i probably caught 300 in 4 days
    Lots and lots of fish spawning
    i heard the same thing of the warm up but I can guarantee they have not all spawned
    winds were brutal …. And with no cell reception it can be tricky
    All in all a great trip
