Look for them at Black Point or the West side of Williams Bay. Walleye action has been good at night, especially when there is some wind. You want to fish for them at Abbey Springs or Knollwood.
Divers have been producing most of the action. You want to place the lures about 60-70 ft behind your planer boards. Rock bass remain steady. The vast numbers are not yet here, but if you want to take a bunch of fish home to eat, they are available. The best presentation is small hair jigs […]
Rock bass fishing is starting to improve significantly. Most of the fish are in 12-15 ft of water. They have been biting on nightcrawlers, minnows, or any other available bait.
Look for the fish by Elgin Club or by Crawford’s bar. Crappies have been hit or miss. One day they are in by the boat docks thick, and the next they’ve moved into deeper water.
Largemouth bass fishing has been sporadic. The only active fish being caught are in Abbey Harbor or Geneva Bay. This year, Trinkes Bay was dredged out, and the water clarity is very low.
Bluegill fishing has been great, the fish are in 18-20 ft of water. I’ve been catching a bunch by Covenant Harbor, Elgin Club and by Gage Marine.
I have caught have come off of nightcrawlers fished right off bottom. Walleye fishing remains excellent at night. The fish remain in their same general areas by Trinkes Bay, Williams Bay and Abbey Springs.
Smallmouth bass have been extremely hard to find. They’ve vanished into their deep water haunts. There are a few being caught by Gage Marine or the Yacht Club in 20-22 ft of water.
