7/29/18 Lake Geneva, sunny, 70 degrees, winds light out of the SW, water temp 76 degrees. We caught 1 northern pike, 1 largemouth bass and a bunch of pan fish and rock bass. Fishing was really slow. We tried drop shotting 4 inch Chompers, split shot rigging nightcrawlers and Buck Tails for northerns and musky. […]
Like the largemouth bass, the Bluegills have two patterns. They are moving shallow to spawn and the bigger ones I’ve been catching have been in 20-25 ft. These fish have yet to spawn. The deeper fish have been averaging a legitimate 9 inches. I’ve been catching them on half of nightcrawlers or leaf worms.
It’s like Cinco De Mayo! Oh wait, it is the 5th of May and this year that’s cause for double celebration as it coincides with opening day of fishing season for inland lakes in SE Wisconsin. After a long winter it’s time to catch some game fish.
Unless they freeze-out, lakes don’t drop below freezing and they are rarely warmer than the mid-seventies.
