May Door County Fishing
Once May rolls around, the fishing starts to heat up in the Door County region. As the water temperature heats up throughout the month of May, you can expect much better bass fishing along the Green Bay shoreline as well as all of the bays in the Door County area. Near the end of May, Sturgeon Bay starts to heat up and this really starts to draw anglers to the region. Sturgeon Bay is known for some of the best smallmouth bass fishing in the county.
Some of the other well-known areas for catching smallmouth bass in May are anywhere along the rocky structured shoreline of Green Bay from Little Sturgeon north to the Peninsula State Park.
Northern pike, walleye, perch, lake trout, brown trout and brook trout are also available during the month of May. Some good northern pike spots are Rowleys Bay and the Mink River. Walleye can be found throughout Little Sturgeon and Sturgeon Bay. Perch can be found along the same rocky shorelines as the smallmouth bass from Little Sturgeon to the Peninsula State Park.
