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.
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.
The smallmouth success has been very spotty. The best action has come by Covenant Harbor or by Trinkes Bay. Work a depth of 18-20 ft of water on the outside of the weed lines.
I prefer fishing early in the morning as the trout are suspended and easier to catch than when they are tight to the bottom. Use down riggers with chrome/blue or chrome/green spoons for the most action. Put the baits approximately 20-30 ft behind the down riggers.
The rock bass can’t resist a split shot rigged nightcrawler. Walleye fishing has been good after midnight. The key to walleye fishing is to fish an evening when there is some winds.
For the top water bite, I use small chug bugs in chrome and blue. For the drop shot, I’m using 4 inch Chomper finesse worms. The bluegill and pumpkinseed bite has been very good.
Perch are schooled up in the shallows. They are in 8-10 ft of water. The best approach is slip bobbers with small fat head minnows.
