Current Fishing Conditions

Lake Gogebic fishing has been very good for a mid summer report. Anglers are catching a variety of species. Most are working the weeds in 8 to 12ft. of water using crawlers and leeches catching bass, perch, walleye and northern with some panfish mixed in. Trollers are having great success running boards with stick baits for the suspended walleyes and using bottom bouncers with crawlers over the mud 22 to 26ft of water. Best of luck!
