Lake Geneva 5/24/09
Due to the cool spring,
fishing on Geneva has remained relatively slow. Most of the action
has been coming in shallow waters, 3-4 ft deep.
Largemouth bass have been biting in Geneva Bay, Trinkes and Abbey
Harbor. Most of the fish are coming in and around the boats. Use a
split shot rig nightcrawler or an All Terrain Stik in Green pumpkin.
Some consistently warm weather will turn on the fish and make them
more active.
Smallmouth bass have been really spotty. They are suspending out
with the pods of bait fish in 12-15 ft of water. The ones that are
being caught are biting on a small hair jig or a Kalin’s grub fished
on a darter head. The best color is smoke and black or avocado
pepper. Look for the fish by Elgin Club or by Crawfords bar.
Crappies have been hit of miss. One day they are in by the boat
docks thick and the next they’ve moved into deeper water. Look for
the fish by the Geneva Inn or by the Williams Bay piers. Most of the
fish are being caught on slip bobbers and small fat head minnows.
Bluegills, like the bass, are searching for the warmest water. They
can be caught in Trinkes Bay or in Abbey Harbor. The variable water
temperatures have also made them spotty to catch. The best approach
is a small leaf worm fished underneath a bobber.
Northern Pike have been caught in the shallow weed flats. Look for
the fish in 6-8 ft of water in Trinkes bay or Williams Bay. They can
be caught on shallow diving crankbaits in perch pattern or slowly
trolling large spinner baits in white. The best speed is about 1 ½
mph.
Good luck and I hope to see you on the water.
