Green Bay
Green Bay is home to some very good fishing for a variety of fish in the Oconto County area. Anglers do well in the river mouths in the spring and the fall. Several species of fish can be caught along the shorelines near these river mouths in the spring and fall as well. For most of the summer though, the better fishing will be further offshore and it can be difficult to find the fish out in the bay. When you get on them though, the fishing can be outstanding.
