Lake Geneva 8/22/10 -
8/29/10
Fishing has been relatively slow. There have been a few pike and
largemouth bass being caught. The boat traffic for fishermen has
been relatively light since most of the traffic appears to be over
on Delavan. This makes for some pleasant fishing on Geneva.
Northern Pike fishing has been rather spotty. One day you can catch
them pretty good and the next day it’s a challenge. The best
location has been by Fontana beach or the weedline east of Abbey
Springs. The best approach has been lindy rigging medium suckers in
32-35 ft of water. Good electronics are essential in finding the
active fish that are just off bottom.
Smallmouth bass have been slowly moving out. They are still
positioning on the outside edges of the bait fish. This time of
year, I key on the deep rock in 22-25 ft of water. The best location
has been by the Military Academy or off of black point. The best
approach is lindy rigging nightcrawlers or yellow perch caught in
Lake Geneva. You want to use a 24 inch leader, I use a #1 hook for
the perch or a #6 bait holder for the nightcrawlers.
Bluegill fishing has been above average. They are in 18-24 ft of
water. Look for the fish on the west side of Williams bay or by
Elgin Club. The best approach is anchoring and fishing straight
beneath the boat. I will use a single #12 Kahle hook and a #3 split
shot tipped with a red worm.
Lake Trout fishing has been good in the main lake basin. Try fishing
in the early morning hours, preferably about 5:30 until 7:00 a.m.
This is the time of day when the fish are suspended off the bottom
making them easier to catch. I will use chrome/blue or chrome/green
spoons. Using your fish locator you can determine the depth where
the fish are. Typically, I run my poles at 65, 75 and 85 ft down in
108 ft of water.
Largemouth bass are in the deep weeds in 20-30 ft of water. The key
is finding weeds that have rock intermixed. The best location has
been by the 700 Club or the weedline at Trinkes. The best approach
is either Carolina rigging a green pumpkin lizard or dragging All
Terrain jigs with a grub trailer. The key to largemouth bass fishing
on Geneva is the deeper the better.
Good luck and I hope to see you on the water. For guide parties,
