June Door County Fishing
June is the month to come to Door County if you want to experience the outstanding smallmouth bass fishing. Early June is when the smallmouth bass fishing typically hits its peak, although the weather changes will dictate how shallow or deep the fish are going to be when you are visiting the Door County area. The Mink River has some excellent smallmouth bass fishing during the first couple weeks of June as well as Sturgeon Bay. Sawyer Harbor, located within Sturgeon Bay is also a hot spot for catching these smallmouth bass in shallow water. Anglers flock to Sturgeon Bay to experience some of the finest shallow water smallmouth bass fishing anywhere. You will find the bass in shallower water along the rocky shorelines as they spawn and you can catch them with soft plastics, small jigs, minnow baits, crankbaits, spinners and live bait. If you find them, it’s not that difficult to get plenty of strikes. A skilled angler that times it right can experience a 20 to 50 bass day if they time it right. Other fish that are caught in Sturgeon Bay during the month of June are perch, lake trout, rainbow trout and chinook salmon.
Lake trout and chinook salmon are starting to show up throughout the county, which gets the trollers out on the water. This is the time when a lot of big lake trout are caught with some surpassing the 20 pound mark.
