Delavan Lake 6/1/09 - 6/8/09

The warmer weather has warmed the water column. The largemouth bass are now post-spawn and the bluegills are very close to spawning. The boat traffic has become intense.

Northern Pike fishing has been very consistent. Most of the fish are being caught on slip bobbers in 12-14 ft of water. Look for the fish by the Village Supper Club or by the Gray condos. You want to fish your slip bobbers with medium suckers.

Earlier last week the largemouth bass were in the shallows. The fish have now moved to the intermediate weeds in 8-10 ft of water. They are pretty sporadic because they can be anywhere on the weedline. The fish I caught last week, were in 8-10 ft of water in no particular key location. Most of the fish I caught last week, were either caught on Texas rigged All Terrain Stiks or split shot rigged nightcrawlers fished in the weedline.

The crappie action has been very good. The fish have been anywhere from 10-12 ft of water. Purple or Yellow cubby jigs have been producing most of the bites. The best locations are west of the Yacht club, Assembly Park or by Browns Channel. You need to keep moving to find the active fish.

Walleye fishing has been very slow. You can catch a couple, but they are few and far between. Look for the fish by the Oriental boat house or by Browns Channel. Most of the fish are coming off of nightcrawlers or leeches. I prefer fishing them on lindy rigs with a 24 inch leaders tipped with a nightcrawler or a leech.

With the warming water temperatures, most of the bluegills on the lake are moving shallow. They are looking for the hard sand bottoms to spawn. Look for the fish, west of Willow Point or by Lake Lawn Lodge. The best bait is red worms or wax worms.

Good luck and I hope to see you on the water.
