Delavan Lake 5/10/09
Opening Day has arrived. Boat trailers
were being parked all the way to South Shore drive. The best action
continues to be the panfish. The bluegills are biting in the shallow
water about 3-4 feet. The best locations are the boat launch
channel, the outlet near the dam, and near Lake Lawn Lodge. The best
approach is a single hook with a bobber, fishing red worms or leaf
worms. The bluegills are a few weeks away from spawning due to the
cool spring.
Crappie fishing has been sporadic, some days they are biting well
and the next day you’ll get skunked. The best success has been in
front of Lake Lawn or near Township Park. The fish are suspended in
8-10 ft. of water. Two presentations have been producing the most
fish. The first is a small 1/32 oz. Jig fished with a small Twister
tail, white and yellow seem to be the best colors. The second is
slip bobber fishing for them with small minnows.
Walleye fishing was kind of slow. Some nice fish were being caught
on slip bobbers in 8-9 ft. of water. The fish are just ending their
spawn and will start to move out onto the weedlines. The best bait
for this week are large fat head minnows. Some of the best reports
for large fish were trolling stick baits, like Walleye Bandits and
Rapala Husky Jerks in 6-8 ft of water. The best time is at night
from about 3-5 a.m. Check locations such as Willow Point, the Yacht
Club point and Browns Channel.
Largemouth Bass can be readily found in a pre-spawn pattern. The
best depth is 3-4 ft. There was a lot of fish activity in the outlet
and in Lake Lawn Harbor. The fish could be seen cruising all over,
however, they didn’t bite that well. Like the bluegills, the bass
should be spawning in the next few weeks, so the sight fishermen
should start having great success.
Good luck and I hope to
see you on the water.
