Look for the fish by Colemans Point or in Trinkes Bay. Walleye are still biting at night, however I did hear of a daytime bite that has been occurring in the last few days.
Most of the fish that were caught last week were caught off of nickel/blue or nickel/green spoons. Smallmouth bass have been hitting in 33-38 ft of water.
Most of the success I’ve heard has come from trolling in between Cedar Point and Conference Point. Walleye fishing has been good.
They are on the deep weed points like the Military Academy or the 700 Club. They are aggressively hitting nightcrawlers fished on a lindy rig. You want to fish a 24 inch leader and the lightest sinker you can get away with.
The best bait has been leaf worms fished on a bobber. You want to position the bait about 1 ft above the weeds. The fish have been done spawning for about 2 weeks.
The best locations are in Williams Bay or Geneva Bay. The best depth is 4-5 ft of water. Rock Bass and Bluegills are everywhere. Most of the fish are in the 9-12 ft depth range. I’ve been getting them while drifting nightcrawlers.
Yellow perch are also in the shallows. They can be caught by Belvidere Park in 8-10 ft of water. The best approach is small fat head minnows fished on a Thill slip bobber.
Bluegill fishing has been very good in 18-20 ft of water. The best location has been by Elgin Club or in Geneva Bay. You want to use leaf worms fished on a split shot right on bottom.
