Lake Geneva 6/1/09 -
6/8/09
With the warmer weather,
Lake Geneva is finally warming up. The smallmouth are in a pre-spawn
pattern. With water temperatures at 55-56 degrees, the fish are
finally becoming active.
Largemouth bass can be readily caught in Geneva Bay or in Abbey
harbor. Most of my success has come on nightcrawlers fished on a
split shot rig. Another good approach is white hair jigs swam
through the water column, half way down in 15 ft of water.
Rock bass are being caught in 10-12 ft depths. Nightcrawlers on a
split shot rig have been the best approach. Once you get on a school
of them, they will bite almost every cast. Look for the rock bass in
Belvidere Park or Elgin Club.
Smallmouth bass are starting to spawn. 5/31/09 is the first day that
they are starting to make nests. Without any wind, the smallmouth
bass will not bite, the water is way too clear. Some sight fishermen
are catching the smallmouth on white tubes. Most of my success has
come off of a leech and split shot rig. Look for the fish by Elgin
Club or by the Military Academy.
With warmer water, the bluegills are in the shallows in 3-4 ft of
water. The best approach is a leaf worm and a bobber. The best
location is Geneva Bay or in Trinkes. Because of the late warm up in
the lake, the bluegills are about 3 weeks away from spawning.
Northern Pike fishing has been slow. Most of the pike that are being
caught are in the 8-10 ft depth range. They are being caught on
white spinner baits or suspending jerk baits. Look for the fish in
Williams Bay or in Fontana beach.
Walleye fishing has been slow overall. Most of the night anglers are
catching smallmouth bass and northern pike instead of walleyes. The
water needs to warm a bit yet, before the walleyes will become
active.
Good luck and I hope to see you on the water. For guide parties,
