Fishing season finally here

Posted on May 8, 2011

Even with the weather, fisherman were out on Lake Wausau today. Bait and tackle in hand, hoping the fish were biting.

Today marked the official start to fishing season, even though some waters are open all year round. Fisherman jumped into their boats, ready to hit the open waters.

But for one fisherman, for him, it's just another day on the water.

Derek Jehn fishes all year round. He says he was raised with fishing and any day is a good day when you have a rod in your hand.

"I'm always excited for fishing. I love to fish and I have been doing it all year. Opening day is just another day for me."

Man steals lingerie and fishing equipment during burglary at Manitowoc Fleet Farm

Posted on April 7, 2011

Police were called to the Manitowoc store at about 9:40 p.m. Wednesday when an after-hours employee looking at a store monitor noticed a man walking through the sporting goods department. The store was closed and all doors to the business were locked at the time.
Officer Jeremy Weber and police dog, Aik, responded to the scene. As the suspect was about to leave through the front entrance, Weber pointed his weapon at him from outside the store and ordered him to the ground while waiting for police backup.
After he was taken into custody, the suspect said he watched enough television shows to know what dogs could do and he did not want to get bitten.
The suspect was in possession of less than $100 worth of merchandise including women’s lingerie and fishing equipment.

Sheboygan man spears 185-pound monster sturgeon on Lake Winnebago

Posted on February 17, 2011

Brimming with optimism, Josh Genske posted on Facebook last week that he was headed out to his fish shanty "to spear me one just like last year!"
Did he ever.
The 20-year-old Sheboygan resident — while sturgeon spearing with hundreds of others on Lake Winnebago — pulled in a 185-pound monster Monday morning that ranks as the third biggest speared in the Winnebago system since records began in 1941. That's nearly three times the respectable sturgeon he pulled from the ice in 2010.
