Fishing 411

Fishing 411 host Jake Romanack travels to the Green Bay, Wisconsin area to target the little-known lake whitefish with guide JJ Malvitz. Next up, the Fishing 411 crew heads north to Lake of the Woods and Sunset Lodge to fish crappie on the famed Northwest Angle.

Mari and Mark Romanack of Fishing 411 hook up with the folks of Watson’s Kaby Lodge to showcase this amazing walleye fishery and also to spend some quality time with a pair of Michigan anglers who won the Ultimate Walleye Fishing Adventure package hosted by the Ultimate Sport Show Tour.

Hosts Jake and Mark Romanack travel north to Spanish, Ontario to sample the smallmouth bass fishing this region of Ontario is famous for producing. The bass action is split between fishing remote only accessible by ATV lakes and also on the Whaleback Region of Lake Huron.

Host Mark Romanack joins forces with legendary trout fisherman Buzz Ramsey of Yakima Bait Company to target spring brown trout in Milwaukee Harbor. The Milwaukee area is best known as a “beer” producer, but this metropolitan area also serves up world-class action for brown trout and other salmonids.

In the dead of winter, not all of Michigan’s million-plus avid anglers are ice fishing. A dedicated group of steelhead enthusiasts spends the winter months targeting river-run chromers. Fishing 411 host visits two of Michigan’s most productive winter steelhead streams including the St. Joe River with guide Ted Penrod and the Kalamazoo River with plug fishing enthusiast Josh Crabtree.

Lake Erie is widely known as the walleye capital of America, but the question is where to start? Lake Erie is divided into three major basins including the Western, Central, and Eastern. Hosts Mark and Jake Romanack head to the walleye-rich Western Basin to tempt walleye by trolling crankbaits in combination with in-line planer boards.
