Lake Geneva 8/8/10 -
8/15/10
Fishing on Lake Geneva is really pretty good right now. With the
traffic on Delavan, it may just be the better choice.
Smallmouth bass are in the 22-25 ft depth range. The best approach
is lindy rigging live nightcrawlers or drop shotting 4 inch green
finesse worms. What you want to look for, are the small points in
the lake such as Linn Pier or Black Point. You need to use your
locator to find the groups of fish. Don’t bother if you don’t see
them. They are pretty spread out this time of year and will only be
where the bait fish are.
Bluegills are in deep water, in 18-20 ft. They can be caught by
Elgin Club or in Williams Bay around Cedar Point. The best approach
is fishing straight beneath the boat with a leaf worm or a red worm.
Some of the bluegills have been 10-11 inches in size. You need to
move around to catch the bigger fish. Smaller fish can be caught in
the 8-10 ft range, but the monsters are down deep.
Northern Pike are on the thermocline in 35-40 ft of water. The best
location is by Fontana Beach or on the north shore of the narrows.
You want to lindy rig medium suckers on a 24 inch snell. Like the
smallmouth bass you want to see the fish on the fish locator before
you start fishing in a location.
Yellow perch are starting to move shallow, in 12 ft of water. Look
for the hard bottom and the scattered weeds. Good locations to check
are by Knollwood or Rainbow Point. Fishing them on a small Thill
slip bobber tipped with a small fat head minnow is always the best
approach. You will need to sort through a lot of fish because the
bigger fish can be elusive.
Lake Trout are being caught in the main lake basin. 65 or 75 ft down
in 108-120 ft of water is where they are positioned. The best time
to catch them is 5 a.m. until about 6 a.m. After that, the fish will
move to the bottom and it’s tough when they get that deep.
Chrome/Blue or Chrome/green spoons have been the most productive.
Walleyes continue to bite on windy nights. The best locations have
been by Trinkes or Williams Bay. The best approach has been Walleye
Bandits or Rapalas fished behind Off-Shore planer boards. You want
to fish half way down in 16 ft of water. Don’t bother for them if
the wind isn’t there.
Good luck and I hope to see you on the water. For guide parties,
