Sturgeon Bay is a scenic port with a variety of activities to enjoy. There are nearby campgrounds, bike trails, state parks and beaches. Sturgeon Bay also offers many delicious diners, festivals, shops, and the variety of Door County to enjoy. These are just some of the reasons Jenny Ann Sportfishing LLC chose to make Sturgeon Bay our homeport. The primary reason is the terrific fishing found in the nearby waters.
Our Lake Michigan fishing season starts off in mid-April chasing shallow water Brown Trout. We typically fish within one mile of the shore. This is where trophy Brown Trout can be found in the warmer waters chasing schools of bait. Frequently, lake trout are mixed in our catch at this time of year along with the occasional salmon.
Late May is when the deep-water fishing takes off. This is when we have lots of action with the acrobatic, high jumping Steelhead being our primary target. These beautiful fish make up most of our catch with Lake Trout, King Salmon and the occasional Coho Salmon filling in the rest of the excitement.
Summer patterns stabilize in June with a mixed bag being caught into August. This is your best time for consistent action. You will have a mixed catch consisting of Steelhead, Lake Trout, Coho Salmon, King Salmon and the occasional Brown Trout at this time of the year. Late August the King Salmon start their fall migration into the rivers to spawn. Most of our action at this time is King Salmon and they are found close to the harbor.
Later in September, we concentrate our last few weeks on immature salmon found offshore with Steelhead filling up the rest of our catch. This is a relaxing way to finish out the season when there are plenty of fish to be caught and fewer fishermen out.
Green Bay fishing is an experience you can’t pass by. From April thru October there are unbelievable amounts of fish just waiting for you to catch them. With our Bay trips, we target catching whatever fish is biting and pursue as much action as possible. We target structure that is holding fish at that time. It is possible to catch trophy walleye, bass, northern, musky, catfish, and trout all in the same trip. With Green Bay trips, we can accommodate most departure times to make it most convenient for you. This is a great chance for a family, business or fun outing.
From April to October Sturgeon Bay has great fishing to be found close by. With having the opportunity to fish either Green Bay or Lake Michigan we have endless opportunities. This also enables us to fish whichever body of water is calmer if seasickness is a concern. Let us know what we can do to create your dream-fishing trip. We hope to welcome you aboard the “Jenny Ann” for an unforgettable trip this year.
