About East Alaska Lake
East Alaska Lake is a classic musky lake in Kewaunee County — the kind of place serious anglers plan their summer around, a intimate 50-acre lake reaching 50 feet at its deepest. The lake has public boat landing access, making it easy to launch for a day on the water. Anglers primarily target Largemouth Bass. Note that invasive species (Curly-Leaf Pondweed, Eurasian Water-Milfoil, Yellow Iris) have been documented here — clean your boat before leaving.

Full table →Fishing Tips
- ·Musky fishing is best in early morning and evening. Work weedlines and structural transitions with large bucktails or soft swimbaits.
- ·Wisconsin musky season typically opens the first Saturday in May. The fall bite (September–October) is peak for trophy fish.
- ·Northern pike are ambush predators — target weed edges, fallen timber, and points with large spoons or swimbaits.
- ·Spring pike fishing (ice-out through June) can be outstanding as they move into shallow, warming bays to spawn.
- ·Largemouth bass relate to shallow structure. Work topwater lures at dawn in summer, then switch to soft plastics rigged weedless around lily pads and fallen wood.
- ·Bluegill and crappie stack up in 8–15 ft of water near weedlines. Small jigs tipped with a waxworm are hard to beat.
- ·Panfish are often excellent for kids and beginners — look for them around any dock or submerged brush piles.
