Lake Geneva 6/19/11 -
6/26/11
The stable weather continues and fishing has been very good during
the past week. This has been the most rock bass I have seen in the
past 19 years of guiding. They are almost everywhere. If people
would fish Lake Geneva, we could reduce world hunger!
The rock bass can be caught on white and pink hair jigs or on split
shot rigged nightcrawlers. The biggest concentration is in 8-10 ft
of water. I have however caught them as deep as 16 ft. Some of the
larger ones are way over 1 lb. The best location was by Belvidere
Park or by Linn Pier.
Largemouth bass are in the shallows out to about 12 ft of water. The
best location is by Trinkes. I have been catching most of my fish
either drop shotting either small green pumpkin finesse worms or a
split shot rigged nightcrawler. Some other good action has come by
Coleman’s Point. The bass I have been catching appear to be post
spawn, a lot of flat bellies.
Bluegills and Pumpkin Seeds are in the 6-8 ft depth range. The best
location has been by Trinkes or in Geneva Bay. Most of the fish are
coming on a split shot rigged nightcrawler or leaf worm. The best
spots have a lot fewer rock bass because there are more weeds. On
Saturday, I caught several Pumpkin Seeds over 9 inches.
Smallmouth bass are almost done spawning. The last remaining few are
spawning in deep water over 14 ft. When the boat traffic has been
the worst, the smallmouth bass have been pulling out and going
deeper into 17-22 ft of water. They can be caught on small finesse
worms or drop shotting nightcrawlers. We have probably one more week
of good smallmouth bass fishing before they vanish into the deep for
the summer.
Northern Pike fishing has been slow. Most of the action has been
with bass fisherman casting white spinner baits or Smithwick
Rattling Rogues in the weed flats in 8-10 ft of water. The best
locations have been by Williams Bay or by Fontana Beach. With the
warming water the Pike will pull out of the shallows and position on
the deep weedlines. Fishing Pike will improve then.
Perch have been sporadic in the 8-10 ft depth range. The best
location has been by Rainbow Point or by the Military Academy. Most
of the fish are still being caught on split shot rigged
nightcrawlers or large leaf worms.
Happy Fathers Day! Good luck and I hope to see you on the water. For guide parties,
