Green Bay Fishing

Duck Creek, Oct. 12, 2026. “Low fishing pressure was seen at Duck Creek this week with many pleasure boaters out enjoying the weather this weekend. Successful anglers reported catches of yellow perch, largemouth bass and a few panfish. Yellow perch were smaller in size within Duck Creek, but a few keepers were harvested using live bait. Largemouth bass were smaller in size, ranging between 5 to 11 inches and were caught on a variety of lures and live bait. Water temperatures were around 63 degrees this week.”

Fox River, Oct. 12, 2026. “Moderate fishing activity was seen this week on the Fox River.

Successful anglers reported catches of yellow perch, muskellunge, walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, freshwater drum, gizzard shad and northern pike. Yellow perch that were caught ranged in size between 4 to 10 inches and were caught on live bait by anglers fishing on Green Bay proper. Very few muskellunge were reported as being caught this week with the few muskies caught ranging from 38 to 52 inches long.

Marinette, Oct. 12, 2026. “There was not much for fishing pressure this week. Many days had high winds which kept boaters off the water. The pink salmon run was winding up this week with only a few fish left hanging around the dams. A few more Chinook salmon showed up this week in the Peshtigo and Menominee rivers. With cooler temperatures coming up there should be some brown trout coming into the rivers as well. Water temperatures were around the 60 degree mark.”

Oconto, Oct. 12, 2026. “A few yellow perch anglers were out on the bay out of Oconto when the winds would allow it. Best action was in deeper waters of 30 to 40 feet on minnows. Some days there were also white perch mixed in as well. The pink salmon run was coming to an end this week with very few fish left by the Stiles dam. A few Chinook salmon started to show up near the dam. Areas downstream from the dam were hard to fish with the extremely low water levels. Water temperature was around 60 degrees or slightly warmer.”
