Walleye
If you're chasing walleye near Milwaukee, Lake Michigan and its tributaries like the Milwaukee River are your key destinations. The walleye fishing here is often dictated by water temperature and baitfish movement. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times, as walleye move closer to shore to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Focus on areas with structure, such as rocky reefs, breakwalls, and submerged timber. Trolling crankbaits or using jigging techniques with live bait or plastics can be effective. A local's secret: try fishing near the Milwaukee harbor entrance. Another helpful tip is to monitor water clarity, as walleye prefer slightly stained water. The walleye in Lake Michigan can be of impressive size, so ensure your tackle is up to the task. Be sure to check the Wisconsin DNR regulations for size and bag limits before heading out.
