Sister Bay is a beautiful town on the shores of Green Bay. Because of the Sister Islands and Sister Shoal, this bay is popular for anglers who like to fish the northern part of Door County. Earlier in the year, the shoreline provides some very good fishing for smallmouth bass. Fish the shoreline structures and rocky bottoms with a mixture of sand and rock and you’ll catch some smallmouth bass.
Offshore, smallmouth bass are still the primary game fish here, but walleye and pike are caught here too. On occasion, you may also find some salmon and/or trout in this area. The structure here is a great spot from summer through fall.
Sister Islands
The Sister Islands are well-known as being a great smallmouth bass fishing spot, especially for big smallmouths. The island located closest to the Sister Bay shoreline offers anglers a great piece of structure to fish. A reef extends way out off of this island. If the sun is out, it’s very easy to find this piece of structure. If the sun isn’t out, be careful because it is a very easy piece of structure to run into if you aren’t familiar with the area yet.
While the smallmouth bass fishing is what makes this spot so popular, anglers do catch other fish here. With the deeper water here, all it takes is a school of bait fish to move in and you can also catch walleye, northern pike and sometimes even salmon or trout.
