Wolf River Camera Live

[wow]

WOW this is realy cool i saw a lot of big sterguen

[hammy72]

Well after a little detour and some lost time we made it into new london. Didnt see any crowds so headed to Shiocton where it was a zoo! It was well worth the ride as my two sons got up close and personal with several sturgeon. They were amazed and so was I. The biggest looked to be around 130 pounds I would guess and we saw two tagged fish and probably a total of 50 fish, some of which could have been the same. I heard someone say that the dnr pulled a 230 pounder out earlier in the day. Dont know if that is true or not. At any rate thanks for the cam, had it not been for this I would have never known the day to go. The only thing I have to do now is correct my five year old into calling them sturgeons instead of sharks.:bigsmile:

[fisheggs]

Hi all, my daughter on the north island of New Zealand has been showing the kiwi's we have BIG fish also! Can't wait till the "strippers" (the fish)

[Young Fisherman]

Can someone please tell me what is up with the walleye cam! i hit the play button and i get a black screen but it says on air????????!

[fishingcouple6263]

Are the sturgeon done doing their thing?

[thunderonH20]

One incredible sight! Thanks Gary!

[oneaway]

It appears as though the White Bass have arrived in Shiocton on the Walleye Cam! They are coming through in schools:bigsmile:

[mikewink]

Been seeing schools of fish today.:horsepoop: Looks like they might be crappies, But hard to tell, the water is a little stained. Lots of fun though!

[Young Fisherman]

[ID K]

the walleye cam got moved so its either in the rocks or flowing down stream
thats probably why its black

Hi and thanks for watching. I do have to ask......what are you talking about? I'm not sure anyone understands. Does your daughter have a camera too? :bigsmile:

[The Troller]

Are the fish we are seeing now from the big lake or are the from in the river system?:huh::huh:

[Wolf River Cam]

Are the fish we are seeing now from the big lake or are the from in the river system?:huh::huh:
Let me ask them....just kidding. I think they are the tail of the river fish or maybe the start of the lake ones.:howdy:

[Matthewsman03]

how in the world do i catch a picture of the fish and post it with a comment? I watch several hours a day and see alot of neat things that alot of people most likely miss, i would like to catch some of these in action and post them... please tell me how

WHAT???? She goes to *wolfrivercam.com* like we do! She works in a law office and you folks would not believe how these people enjoy this kind of stuff. Their idea of a full work day, includes "tea" time as well as short walks to "get away from the office"

You must visit to believe New Zealand!

[The Troller]

Prior to the walleye run someone said when the walleyes go back down river they do so backwards. Out of all the walleye I saw returning down river I never saw one float by faceing up river. Where did that come from??

[Flagchaser 1]

From one heavy yearround fisherman this is great! To be able to see the spawning runs of different species is a lot of fun! Fantastic idea!

[little spinner]

Very cool. Great site. More fish today. Thanks

I have been flipping also from sturgeon to this cam seen schools of white bass walleye and what looked like a very huge muskey is there any in the river or was in a gient northern??? but the cam is great and have seen alot

[wall22]

Hello Everyone,
I want to put up a place for everyone to go to talk about the live underwater fish camera. The camera is located in Shiocton, WI. Currently it runs from dawn to dusk until we are satisfied with our lighting, then we can run it at night. Enjoy! Please leave you comments and what you have seen on the camera. Walleye Central has played an important role in helping make this happen. I will be checking the thread quite often.

Thank you,
Gary - WRC :muahaha:

I was wondering if you could tell me when the walleye cam in shiocton and Fremont wil be operating correctly. I haven't seen cams at all for 2 or 3 days. The sturgeon cam is yhe only one working.

Thank You.

Should be working now. The Fremont cam is still getting the bugs worked out.

[Wolf River Cam]

Prior to the walleye run someone said when the walleyes go back down river they do so backwards. Out of all the walleye I saw returning down river I never saw one float by faceing up river. Where did that come from??
I think a couple of people spoke of this. Remember, this fish come down the deep side because of the faster current, and from what I know, they come down backwards for the most part. The camera is on the shallow side, so I don't think you will see them do that.

[Wolf River Cam]

I have been flipping also from sturgeon to this cam seen schools of white bass walleye and what looked like a very huge muskey is there any in the river or was in a gient northern??? but the cam is great and have seen alot
That was probably a huge northern. I have never seen a musky in the river, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. I really want to see a gar fish.

[nothappy]

I've been watching this cam for the last couple weeks and don't think the camera is in a very good spot. it looks like it's been pointing up or something. Has anyone noticed the viewing number is down to? I don't watch it nearly as often as I use to.

I assure you, the camera is not pointed up. What you see is light reflecting down into the water. The camera is actually pointed down a little. Also, check the walleye cam because the white bass have been moving. The strugeon have slowed because the last couple of days the weather has been bad. Now the sun is out, they will start turning on again.

[oldfisherman]

I just clicked on and within seconds saw 15 to 20 good fish. Looks great to me and pointed correctly.

It was yesterday and it was a huge northern. I couldnt obviously geuss on size but it was at a very minimum 5 lbs

I have seen several suckers and carp. The last day or two I have noticed small schools of white bass (3-6 at a time)

To capture a picture, once you see what you want captured on your keyboard ususally on top is a button labeled (print screen)...it will capture whatever is on the screen at the time you push it.

Once you push it you need to paste that to some type of photo program. I use paint shop pro 8.

Watch the video in full screen, and when you see something on screen that you want to "take a picture of" do this:

1. Hit the pause button.
2. Press the shift key and the Prnt Scrn key at the same time. (The Prnt Scrn key is usually at the top right side of the keyboard on most puters.)
3. Click the "Start" button in the bottom left corner.
4. Choose "All Programs"...."Accessories"...."Paint"
5. When the MS Paint program opens click on "Edit"...then click on "Paste". The picture should be in your Paint Program now...Resize to 350 pixels Wide by....it should do the height automatically. (To change the size in Paint...click on "Image" and then "stretch/skew"...reduce it to 50% both horizontally and vertically.)
6. Click on "File"...."Save As"....and save it to a folder on your computer....(that's up to you)
7. Open the Wolf River Cam thread on Walleye Central and hit Reply.
8. After you put your message in...(and, you must be logged in to do the rest of this...) scroll down below the message window and click on "manage attachments".
9. When the second window opens, click on "browse" and find the picture you saved to the folder on your computer and click "open".
10. Click "Upload".
When the progress bar in the manage attachment window finishes and you see the .jpg name listed below the "browse" section, you know it's been uploaded completely.
Note: If your picture is too big it will not upload to the site.

If you still have trouble...give a shout and we'll work you through it. :)

Hey Bloodymary,
I received the letter in the mail a couple of days ago. Thank you very, very much. I've never seen a horse jump like that, but it was funny. Take care and thank you again for viewing the website.

Gary - WRC

[spearsfishin]

I'm from KY and have recently moved to WI. I'm not familiar with the river, so I'm wondering why the water temp is 31F today, but was 50F yesterday and 32F the day before. Is the camera below a dam?

[Wolf River Cam]

The camera just has a small malfunction with the temperature reading.

[ablewis]

This is very cool! I'm left wondering if this camera is hard wired to your server or if you are trasnmitting this image via some type of wireless connection?

[Wolf River Cam]

:funnypost:Do you really think that I am going to tell you that I am connected with a couple hundred feet of Cat5 cable?....ah nuts, corporate secret #2 out of the bag.:Wedgie:

May I make a suggestion. You might want to open a paypal account and then give folks an option of donating that way. Its very easy. IMHO I think you will see donations rise considerably....I tried donating yesterday but all thats available is the mail....make it so folks can donate online.

[oldfisherman]

What kind of fish and on which camera???????
Some walleye and what appeared to be small mouth bass. On Wolf River.

[ablewis]

wolf cam,

Sorry I didn't think it was a silly question. The web is full of "do it yourself" underwater camera setups...some are cabled, some are wireless. I really have no idea how far you are from your camera.

I've got an old laptop and found a plan for building a waterproof case for a very cheap camera. This might be fun as an alternative to an expensive fish camera.

[spearsfishin]

Thanks. I was curious because I used to fish the Lake Cumberland tail water in KY for trout and walleye. When they would open the generators, the water temps would drop 10 - 15 degrees.

Thanks again. This camera is great. Just love watching the fish, when I should be working.

[boochochris]

the camera looks like it's pointed up to the surface.
i think you really cannot see the picture that well.
thanks,
chris

[angletears]

i just wanted to say that this past sunday was awsome with the sturgeon. my kids really enjoyed it. the only frustrating thing is that sometimes when we go onto either the walleye cam or the sturgeon cam the screen is jet black and you can't see a thing. thank you so much for doing this. i even let a friend of mine that lives in Georgia in which use to live her about this site so she can show her kids.
thanks again

[BluegillBilly]

Very nice addition with the minnow bait. Rigged without a hook? I haven't seen any strikes yet, but with all the whitebass, only a matter of time.

[Wolf River Cam]

I was just trying to be funny. It is quite a distance from the camera to the laptop. Wireless seems like it doesn't have the quality that wired does. I definitely think building the camera would work. There are plans out on the web that show you how to do it, but I believe you have to pay for them (but are inexpensive). I think if you would get some pvc pipe, and a board camera, you could do it. It would be a higher difficulty, so let us know how it wokrs. If you get it running, I will link it to my site!

[Wolf River Cam]

It is not rigged with a hook. Don't want my local Conservation Officer stopping to help me understand the law. However, it's not like it is being unattended.....there are x amount of viewers watching! Oh, the 30lb steel leader, is for the Northern. I might consider a smaller leader tomorrow, which is when I will change the lure. I am thinking a little rooster tail. Oh by all means, I would be pretty fired up if someone got a screen capture of a strike on the bait....that would be crazy.

Russ

They have multible dark horizontal lines

[Wolf River Cam]

Shad a believe.

[billybabe3883]

Which cam has the minniow bait? WRC or WRC2?

Thanks

[billybabe3883]

They have multible dark horizontal lines

If they look like the fish in this picture, they are white bass

[BluegillBilly]

It was Cam #2. Gary indicated that he might be changing baits.

[Wolf River Cam]

I am going to try a rooster tail tomorrow, but after that I am open to ideas. I will try to change the lure everyday until we find one that gets hit often.

[estray10]

Thanks to who ever came up with this site. Talk about addicting...I didn't think I would ever get excited about seeing a sucker swim by the camera. If I can't get out of the office to fish, this is the next best thing. By the way, I shared this site with my father in Virginia and he has a bunch of people down there already "hooked."

[billybabe3883]

A good size fly (Clip off most of hook) would be good. Walleyes and white bass will hit it for sure

[The Troller]

I have seen a lot of sheephead. I think that is the cross you are talking about.

[The Troller]

No one has answered what temp. is prime spawning water for white bass????:smash:

[billybabe3883]

No one has answered what temp. is prime spawning water for white bass????:smash:
White bass spawn over gravel bars in late April to June, when water temperature ranges from 55 to 79 degrees

Thank you so much! It is certainly possible, as the network of cameras grows, we could have on in Virginia too!

White Bass or as my oldest brother calls them, the Chrome Carp.

[Wolf River Cam]

A good size fly (Clip off most of hook) would be good. Walleyes and white bass will hit it for sure
Ok, after the rooster tail, I will try a fly.

[billybabe3883]

Looks like something ate the bait LoL

[carpomaximus]

Im viewing this cam now everyday and see some big fish. Saw a crayfish yesterday boogie by, a dead fish and carp with a stick in its mouth,

Cool! Awesome! I did make a courtesy call the the local conservation warden this morning to tell him that I took the hooks off the lure in front of the camera. He said that he figured we did as such. He had a call yesterday, with someone telling him there was a lure there, but he figured we were doing it legally. What can I say, I must have an honest face :bigsmile:

[Wolf River Cam]

WRC#2 is off air?:cry:
Dang it! I will get it up soon. The problem with it going off air is a wireless signal issue, and my wife stopped at the store and picked up the cure. Tomorrow morning, when we put out the next lure, it will be rock solid. However, rumor has it the Fremont cam is running! It was pretty black, but I could see a temperature. So maybe it is a matter of adjusting...or moving a boat.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

On Camera #2 we are fishing live. That is a real hook on that spinner and a real minnow. I am tending to the pole. I will be monitoring the messgae board until further notice to field any questions. 6:45am cst May 2nd.

Gary - WRC

[90299987]

What type of line are you useing for a leader? I don't ever want to use it because of its visibility.

[Wolf River Cam]

It is a big thick 8# test from about 10 years ago. Not what I use when I fish other times. I'll tweak it. Thanks for watching!

Gary - WRC

[Wolf River Cam]

I finally got it up. Let me know if there are any issues.

[Wolf River Cam]

We are using a floating jighead tipped with a live shiner. Already have had some close encouters. Let me know if there are any questions.

Gary - WRC

[Wolf River Cam]

Ok, we are pulling the lure. I am going to relocate camera to see if we can find more fish.

[biggest stick]

I seen all these suckers on the cam, are the walleyes done? I did try for the suckers this morning over there shiocton with crawlers, but couldn't seem to get.... do I need to use a rapala, and if so what color? Or should I try a rattle trap???

[billybabe3883]

I finally got it up. Let me know if there are any issues.

Worked fine for me Gary. Excellent Job on the cam. I might find my self donating a little bit more again. Keep up the good work Sir

[BluegillBilly]

This is just a "test" for me to see if I can successfully post a photo.

Hey Gary: A 'shout out' from Evan. What a small world. I had the 'opportunity' to fish the Trout Opener "nort of 8" with him, and he told me he has worked with you on the Cam project. Ask Evan to tell his story about his Saturday evening swim. Really wish there had been a camera there to capture video!!!

[BluegillBilly]

Apparently it worked. Camera #1, 10:30AM Monday, lots of activity. Mostly carp and suckers, starting to see whitebass. Need to get back to work!

[BluegillBilly]

Cam1, 10:45Am. I must stop watching!

[Wolf River Cam]

I put a separate page up for a recorded feed that we have. Of course the live camera is running, but I thought we would share this recorded video, of some highlights of whenthe walleyes were huge in numbers.

Thank you for watching.
Gary - WRC

[angeltears]

there seems to be more action on the recorded footage than the real deal. all i have been seeing lately is the jet black screen again.

[Juls]

...I'm a slot fish now!

:raisin: Congratulations! :D

[Wolf River Cam]

Ok, cam 1 and 2 are back live. The recorded feed is awesome and there is a link where you can pick up a copy. I am going to Fremont this weekend for the end all be all of setting up. Then....hopefully....it will be running consistantly well.

Gary - WRC

[footndale]

Nice job on the cameras. Did you ever answer what type of cameras you are using?

Just caught this fish.

[Wolf River Cam]

Nice catch. Looks like we now have a white bass lurky around the camera quite a bit. As far as the cameras go, I would love to tell you, but I don't think I want to make any recommendations. What I will tell you is that we are going to build our own cameras and they will be ones bought from Supercircuits. I will give the info when we get one done. Can you say high quality sony color cameras? Should be cool.

[Wolf River Cam]

We had to change some things around with our internet signals, but now camera 1 & 2 are live. Fremont cam has been moved and hopefully be launched today or tomorrow. Thank you for you patients and thank you for watching.

Gary - WRC

[flamethrower1]

I have been screwing around trying to come up with my own color camera system ( for personal use only).
I checked the website you referred to and did not see any "waterproof" cameras.
I am very interested in what you have set up, or are going to set up.
Any info would be wll appreciated and I do not have any intention on trying to do what you are doing, although I do enjoy the entertainment

[Wolf River Cam]

The color camera is a work in progress. When I get it done, I will share. No there is no specific underwater camera, so I will have to make it as such. I will keep you posted.

[Grayhulk]

Hey Gary great job on the freemont Cam!!! it seems to have more fish activity than Cams 1 or 2.Keep up the good work !!!

[Wolf River Cam]

Hey Gary great job on the freemont Cam!!! it seems to have more fish activity than Cams 1 or 2.Keep up the good work !!!
I was just going to post a heads up, but you beat me to it. The Fremont cam is up and running! The water looks pretty murky and dark, but that is due to the camera having to be so deep in the water. It is probably in 8 feet of water, where the other are in about 6. I have it sitting right next to a little backwater, which must be a hang out for the fish, because they are up close and personal. In the limited time of viewing, I have seen smallies, bluegill and white bass. Post those screen captures everyone!

Gary - WRC

[footndale]

Except it seems to be offline right now.

[Wolf River Cam]

We are having power issues there and it will be fixed tonight. The team is on it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[walleyedmike]

Apparently, only WRC #1 is up and running right now. Fremont Cam is just a White screen.

[Wolf River Cam]

The Fremont cam is going through the typical growing pains like the other cameras had. What was a power issue before, is now fixed and then spawned an internet issue. It is particularly challenging trying to run these cameras 24/7 and upload the amount of content we do steady. It would be like sending emails back to back around the clock. Sometimes there is a hiccup and that's when the feed breaks. Then things have to restarted and so forth. It's just the nature of the beast. Thank goodness we have some people that are dedicated to keeping things running, while I am off at work. It's challenging, but worth it I think. Fremont cam will be back up soon, please be patient and always....thanks for watching.

Gary - WRC

[Grayhulk]

Hey Gary are all the cameras down??? I'm watching from Chicago and it seems all day today or most of the day the cams have been comming up black I tried reloading but still the same results.Is it on your end or mine???

[footndale]

Cameras are working now. Fremont cam is a little darker, because it is deeper, but you can see fish. Just saw a few in the last few minutes.

[Buffalo Brother]

[Grayhulk]

Yes Gary it was in fremont where Huck Finns restaurant was or still is.By the way hows the fishing on the river ??? I would like to come back up with some of the guys to fish,I'm tired of going to Lake Erie every year its cheaper and faster to come back to your area again.

I did some asking around and it sounds like now it is called Secrets. However, it sounds like the county might be possessing it and I believe the intentions are to tear it down and build a park of some sort.

Fremont camera looks like it is out of focus all the time. Wondering if that is a depth problem or moisture?

You can see the outlines of fish going by like crazy, but nothing clear.

[Wolf River Cam]

The Fremont cam is in very deep water, and is pretty cloudy. Recently, we had to move it off the bottom to be able to get sunlight to it. So it looks like it is looking up, but really it is look horizontal. We were a little limited on how we were able to position it, but when the water goes down a little, it can be moved back toward the bottom. Thanks for viewing.

By the way, Fremont 2 will be in on Saturday the 23rd, followed by the New London cam shortly after.

[Wolf River Cam]

Hello Everyone,
Threads been kind of slow, but so have the fish. We did launch Fremont cam 2 on Saturday. Saw a few white bass, perch and a catfish trying to be friendly. This coming weekend, we will be trying to relocate the camera a little further out. A local guide is helping out to position it, with the help of a scuba diver. New London is next on the list.

Gary - WRC

[Wolf River Cam]

Still trying to find the fish. I know they're in the river, but where is the question. We are working out some internet issues, so please be patient. New London is still slated to happen, just taking a little longer.

Gary - WRC

[Wolf River Cam]

to say the least. However, while working on the internet issues last night on Shioc2, a big ol' snapping turtle flopped in front of the camera as he was moving through looking for food on the sandbar. As luck has it of course, I am the only one that saw it. He'll be back.
Oh, here's a screen capture of the nightly happenings under the lights. It's Minnow Dance!

[Wolf River Cam]

....still edible.

[Wolf River Cam]

...one more.

[Wolf River Cam]

Just watched one go by at 10:10 pm cst. No, I didn't have the pause button ready. Maybe fishing this late might pay off.

[Wolf River Cam]

Holy man!
The time stamp is on the bottom of the page.

[Wolf River Cam]

Got 'em good this time. Their after the minnows obviously. Ok, now we have to figure out how in the heck to catch them. I wonder if jigging would still work? Never did that with minnows in the summer time, but clearly that's what they want.

[Wolf River Cam]

...look at the water temp.

[Wolf River Cam]

just shows him a little better.

[Wolf River Cam]

got a little premature on this one, but you can see the eyes.

[Dad-N-lad]

very neat idea !!!

[Wolf River Cam]

Thank you dad-n-lad.

[footndale]

The Lake Superior color cam looks great. Active Salmon today.

[Wolf River Cam]

...here's a shot of one with a lamprey attached.

[Wolf River Cam]

...they are certainly plentiful today. Must have released some from the hatchery or something.

[Wolf River Cam]

just a carp so far.

[Wolf River Cam]

try to take my loot.

We changed the lighting and camera a little and now the minnows are back en masse.

[walleyedmike]

Just noticed that a Winneconne cam will be up soon, can't wait! Any idea on when it might be operational?

[teamlund]

when did the camera get put on superior and wheres the link for it? cool pics

As soon as we can get the internet package together and tweaked. The above water is there, just want to crank the speed up. The underwater camera will be the easy part.

[Wolf River Cam]

That camera belongs to Lake Superior State University. It is the LSSU camera. They allowed me to embed their video and in exchange they have gotten about 10,000 hits in a month or so from Wolfrivercam.

Hi Everyone,
On July 31st @ 7am, Jeff Kolodzinski will be trying to set the record for the most fish landed in 24 hours. The current record, 1,680, which Jeff holds as well.
Now, the really cool thing.......we will be streaming the event. If everything works well, and it should, I will have an underwater camera watching the fish take Kolo's bait and then a camera that will show his reaction and pulling them in, all in sync. The video panes will be side by side on 1 webpage. The location of that live video will be at my other site, www.livefishcamera.com (http://www.livefishcamera.com) Check it out. As always, I will be checking this message board during the event and replying to any questions. Thank you everyone and thank you Walleye Central for continuing to be a huge part of the reason why WolfRiverCam.com is popular.

[Wolf River Cam]

Hopefully by the first of the year, Wolf River Cam will be in full color! We are working out the details right now, and have 1 camera in color on Shiocton 1. I don't think we will be using that same kind of camera, but rather one that is available at your local store. More details to follow. Thanks again for watching and we are excited for this coming year. After we go to color, then the only thing left is to increase the video definition. Can you imagine walleyes in HD? We'll see what resources are available to us.

Thanks for watching,
Gary - WRC

[Big fish daddy]

What are they? I can see a spot on the fin. Pretty cool to see something tho.

[Wolf River Cam]

Hi Everyone,
We did a test run on Saturday the 12th. Our broadcast ran for 3.5 hours out on the ice, where we were showing our Live Fishing Show. That's right, live...not video, or editted. Of course it was a little boring because the first ice wasn't productive, but we were testing more than anything. Once we get our audio worked out, we will be doing more shows building up to spring time for the walleye run. Then I might run every morning when I fish.
The next date should be this weekend. I will keep you posted. Remember, you heard it here first!

Thank you again Walleye Central for your support.
Gary - WRC

[Wolf River Cam]

Hi Everyone,
Well, we have our audio straightened out and what is neat is that it is very sensative. Our next live show will be on Sunday January 3rd @ 9am central time. The show we did last week produced a couple of 10# carp....not what I was expecting, but it gave my 24" ultra light rod a workout. Anyway, I am doing some heavy scouting and hopefully will get into some nice fish. Just go to www.wolfrivercam.com (http://www.wolfrivercam.com) and click on the banner from there, to take you over to the show page.

Thank you for watching!

[moose1guest]

Just curious if any camera's are up and running at all under, or above, the ice. Took a look for grins today while working and they all say off air. I love these camera's btw.

[Wolf RiverCam]

Sorry for the delay, but yes the cameras are running under the ice. There are three running right now and an above water in Fremont. The Fremont underwater is in deep and it was dark, so we temporarily went to an above water.

[WolfRiverCam]

Hi Everyone,
I want to get a few updates out, as we close ever so closer to big fish action.

1) I have spent a little dough and time in updating our computers. Actually, I just bought some new ones. You should be able to enlarge the video to full screen and the picture will be much better than last year. Or you could hook it up to your flat tv.
2) We have added cameras since last year. Currently we have 2 Shiocton cams, 1 in New London and 1 in Fremont. The Fremont one is very deep and dark right now, so we are running one above water temporarily.
3) There is a color camera in Shiocton.
4) Our Quad 4x4 camera will be running soon! Imagine to be able to look in for directions!

Take care,
Gary - WRC

[Morton]

I look forward to monitoring the cameras again this year.
They are awsome !!!

Thanks so much for all the hours of entertainment.
Morton

[Wolf River Cam]

No problem Morton, glad to do it. Walleye Central also deserves some credit for hosting the message board and supporting us as well.

By the way everyone, the Aqua Vu Quad 4x4 is currently live! As you look at the video pane, the top left camera is looking up river toward shore, the bottom left is looking downstream toward show, the top right is looking upstream toward the middle of the river and the bottom right is looking downstream toward the middle.

Thank you for watching. I think we will be running live video of the sturgeon spearing weigh-ins on this Saturday the 13th.

Stay tuned,
Gary - WRC

[tyguy32]

If you go to the New London cam, there is a bunch of little Northern I think they are.

[tyguy32]

Hey! What kind of boat do you guys have? I have a 250 horsepower Mercury 2008. It is a great fishing boat. I went to lake Erie last summer and caught two 26 inch walleye! Pretty sweet!

[ewink28]

cam at new london is the same view shic#1 yesterday. interesting?

[Wolf River Cam]

You got me....they are all actually in a mud puddle out in my driveway.:Wedgie::Wedgie::Wedgie::Wedgie:

[Wolf River Cam]

Hi Folks,
I was talking to some people at the Fishing Show in Green Bay last weekend and everyone asked when would the walleyes be heading up stream. I said that I thought it would have been by now, but we haven't had that real warm day yet. Well the last few days around here have been in the 40s and rain on a couple. My thought was once the water temp went from the steady 31F to 32F/33F, then they might get motivated to go.
At 2:15 cst, I flipped on the AquaVu Quad 4x4 that we have in Shiocton and I saw a fish swimming a little ways out in front of the camera that points to the middle of the river and upstream (top right view as you are looking at it). Since I don't have a screen capture to prove it, I will just highten everyone's awareness. To me, it looked as the fish had white tipped bottom fins and it certainly was a game fish.
I flipped over to the New London page and the temp was 32F......

Gary - WRC

[Wolf River Cam]

The ice is starting to break up a little, so our cameras are close to shore. I just don't want to see them go down the river. The position they are in, is actually a spot they might be in a couple weeks or so, because the water will come up that much. For now, we are avoiding the ice bergs so please bare with us.

Thank you,
Gary - WRC

[mountainfurman]

It would be nice if the cams were in the water........

[Wolf River Cam]

There is no one that wants the cameras in the water more than me. However, if we have them in and the sheets of ice coming down the river that weigh many tons, they will sweep the cameras away. Not that there would be no more cameras, it's just I would have to replace them at the tune of $400-$600 per location. Last year the first camera was launched on March 28th, so we will be in the water in plenty of time. I would think by the 18th, we will be running at the normal locations like last year plus we will have at least New London, Fremont and Shiocton 2 to start the year off. Last year Shiocton 1 was the only camera location we had.
Recently we had an offer for Shiocton 3. Once we get our resources together, that one might go live. We also still have Winneconne in the works.

Once we get everything in the water a running well, look for the LIVE FISHING SHOW!

Thank you for being patient and definitely I want to thank everyone for watching.

When is the river cam going to be active in Shiocton and Fremont? The ice is out on the wolf and the walleye I know for a fact the are in the river. I need something to look at while at work.

Looks like Shiocton 1 is in the water!

[Wolf River Cam]

The ice went out mid day yesterday and we usually give it at least a couple days for the upper ice and bayous to clear out. However, with the great weather we are having, I am going to get them launched today! I have to launch a couple of rafts first, then I can set up the wireless and game on. Shiocton 1 will definitely be online today and very possibly Shiocton 2 and New London. Fremont needs a lens cleaning from being in all winter, but it is still hooked up, just not live right now.

The time is almost here. In 30 minutes, I will be heading to the river to work on them.

Gary - WRC

[Wolf River Cam]

Hi Folks,
We are still adjusting our cameras, so please be patient. I did see with my own eyes, 2 walleyes this morning!

Gary - WRC

[Wolf River Cam]

Well, at least the first couple.

[Giggle Bug]

Large fish are comin' through, what kind are they?

[Wolf River Cam]

...walleye!!!!!!!!!

[Giggle Bug]

Seeing fish coming by, love 'em but what kind are they?:huh:

[Back_dock]

Saw a pod of 5 waleyes come through at 4:30. Looked to be males.

[NL Balla]

I have seen about 30 walleye go past the shiocton 1 cam in the last 10 min

We are closing this thread to open a new thread for the 2010 season....


thanks!
