Lake Geneva 5/17/10 -
5/23/10
With the weather patterns such that they are and the depth of Lake
Geneva, the lake is still very cool. The most consistent fishing is
in the 3-4 ft water depth range.
Smallmouth bass have been sporadic. If you can find the bait fish,
you will likely find the smallmouth. They can be caught on hair jigs
or a smoke colored twister tail. The fish are suspended 6 or 7 ft
down in 15-20 ft of water. The best location is Elgin Club or the
Military Academy.
Largemouth bass are in the shallows in 3-4 ft. Look for the fish in
Geneva Bay or by Williams Bay. Nightcrawlers fished on a split shot
rig are producing a lot of action. Water temperatures are too cold
and the fish aren’t even close to spawning yet.
Perch can be caught in the 8-10 ft depth range where there are
scattered weeds and hard sand bottom. They can be caught on slip
bobbers fished with minnows or nightcrawler pieces. Look for them by
Knollwood or Rainbow point.
Bluegills and Rock bass are around the boat docks. The best location
is Williams Bay or Geneva Bay. Worms fished on bobbers have been
producing most of the action. The best depth is 3-4 ft. Be prepared
to sort, the numbers are decent but there are a lot of small fish in
the mix.
Northern pike are in the shallow weeds. The best depth is 8-10 ft of
water. They are being caught on Lindys Shadling, the perch color has
been producing the best for me. Another good bait is a white spinner
bait, in a slow rolling retrieve.
Good luck and I hope to see you on the water. For guide parties,
