Going to be heading to wilderness state park mid July 2014,does anyone have a report on the bite this season for smallies? I was hoping it would be pushed back from mid June due to the long winter...? Any thoughts?

I don't know the area but I have a friend going there next week. He wants to rent a small boat or canoe. Does anyone know if a place to recommend? I'd like to help him out.
I've read that French Farm lake (within a few miles from the park) is great for a small boat. Secluded, no homes, rustic experience. Pike and Largemouth likely.

We will b there the same time frame. 11-20. Everything should b up to speed by now. The last couple summers have been outstanding when we have been there ( third week of july). Dont expect any less this summer😄😄. Try to fish Sturgeon Bay when the wind, weather patterns are out of the south, southwest or west. Pushes warm surface water into bay n really turns on the schools of hungry fish. Stay at camp in all other wind directions or go hit some of the local lakes. Have a blast!!! Shrubby

Is sturgeon bay tame enough to venture out a few hundred feet in a heavy duty 3 man raft with anchor? Will we reach the bass?
Or is it unsafe, and can (should) we wade out and cast, I've heard they can be caught wading in big stone Bay, is sturgeon the same?

I have waded out in Goose Bay which is part of Sturgeon Bay. Drive all the way to the end of the road that wilderness is on then its a bit of a hike. I was there a couple summers ago in late July. There are a ton of submerged rocky islands only a couple feet deep, I would walk along those and cast into the deeper holes about 10fow and pull in huge smallies. Used mostly sinkos and crayfish on weedless hooks. Good Luck!

Great week at WSP😄. Water is up at least a foot or more. Hundreds of smallies on tube baits. Not many keepers this year. What a fishery!!!! Fished the cut, south shore of Temperance island n Sturgeon bay. Cant wait till nxt year!!! Shrubby
