Lake Geneva 6/27/10 -
7/4/10
Unlike last year, the summer weather patterns are a bit more normal.
Most of the fish are coming out of their late spring, early summer
pattern and are going to start to move to the deep water that Lake
Geneva offers. I would have to say that most of the fish can still
be caught in 12-15 ft of water for now. That will typically change
after the 4th of July.
Northern Pike have been scattered throughout the weed flats. They
can be caught on Rapala Husky Jerks or White spinner baits. The best
depth is 8-12 ft of water. The best location is Williams Bay or
Trinkes Bay. With the water temperature the way it is, they will
slowly be moving out to the thermocline. It is likely that within
the next week, you won’t be catching any fish shallow, you’ll need
to look for them in 27-30 ft ofwater. Once on the thermocline, it is
a good choice to use a lindy rigged ¾ oz walking sinker and sucker.
The best locations for this is by Black Point or in the narrows on
the north shore.
Largemouth bass can still be had in the 10-18 ft depth range. With
the warm weather, they have been sporadic throughout the water
column. The rain has been determining the depth of the fish. Most of
the fish have been caught drop shotting small plastics or live
nightcrawlers. Look for the fish by Linn Pier or in Trinkes Bay.
There hasn’t been a day where you can’t catch at least 10-12 fish in
the last few weeks.
Smallmouth bass have moved deeper due to the warmer weather. Most of
the fish are in 18-20 ft of water. The best presentation is drop
shotting or Carolina rigging either small plastics or live
nightcrawlers. Look for the fish by Black Point or by the Military
Academy.
Rock bass continue to be everywhere. They will readily bite a split
shot rigged nightcrawler. The best locations that I’ve found are by
Belvidere Park or by Coleman’s point. The best depth has been 10-12
ft of water.
Walleyes are biting at night. The best time to try for them is
midnight until 3 a.m. You want to troll the weed flats from 12-15 ft
of water. Most people are trolling Rapalas or Walleye Bandits.
Chrome and Blue or Chrome and Black have been consistently
producing. Look for the fish in Trinkes or Geneva Bay.
Good luck and I hope to see you on the water. For guide parties,
