Delavan Lake 6/6/10 - 6/13/10

Fishing continues to be very good. Any species of fish can be caught in some form or fashion. Boat traffic remains below normal, so the boat launch is a bit easier to deal with than years past.

Northern Pike remain on the weedline in 15-20 ft of water. They can be caught lindy rigging suckers. The standard rig I use is a ¾ oz lindy sinker with a 24 inch leader and a 1/0 bait hook. I will slowly troll the suckers along the weedline. The best location has been west of Willow Point, the gray condos or by Browns Channel.

Bluegills are pretty much done spawning. The bluegills I caught last week, were in the 12-15 ft depth range. I know that there was also good number in the 3-4 ft depth range still spawning. For the shallow fish, leaf worms fished on a small bobber was the best presentation. For the deep water bluegills, I used a leaf worm with a medium sized round split shot. I would cast out and slowly let it fall to the bottom until I got a bite.

Walleye are being caught either casting crank baits or on nightcrawlers. The best location has been by Del Mar or over by the Yacht Club. The fish I’ve been catching have been coming out of 15-18 ft of water. I’ve been using a light lindy rig or a chartreuse painted hook and a large split shot.

Largemouth bass are on the weedlines. They can be caught either by wacky rigging Senkos or by using nightcrawlers. The fish have not schooled up much so you will be catching one here and there so you need to keep moving. I normally don’t fish piers, but last week I did catch a couple really nice fish off some south shore piers.

Crappies have finished spawning and are slowly moving out on the weedline. The best depth is 10-12 ft. Small plastics are producing most of the action.

Good luck and I hope to see you on the water. For guide parties, please call Dave Duwe at 608-883-2050
