Dave Duwe Delavan Lake Fishing Report 10/13/14 through 10/20/14
The lake appears to be starting to turnover. The water temperature has been right around 57-59 degrees. As the fall moves on, the bigger fish will put on their feedbags and the biggest fish of the year will be available for catching.
Walleye fishing has been very good. I’ve been averaging 10-12 fish per day. I’m catching them on a jig and minnow or a jigging Rapala. The best depth has been 24-28 ft of water. I’ve been fishing mostly main lake points.
Smallmouth bass fishing has been improving. I’ve catching the fish off the main lake points, intermixed with the walleyes. The best depth has been 18-22 ft. The best approach has been a split shot rigged extra large minnow. Look for the fish by Willow Point, the Village Supper Club point and by the Yacht Club.
Bluegills remain in the main lake basin. They are suspended about 10-12 ft down in 35-40 ft of water. They are being caught on a split shot rigged leaf worm or on a gold Hali jig. The best location is by the Village Supper club or by Willow Point.
Northern Pike fishing has been improving. The fish are in the shallow weeds. The best depth has been about 15 ft of water. You want to use medium suckers fishing on a slip bobber. The best location has been by Browns Channel or by Lake Lawn Lodge.
Good luck and I hope to see you on the water. For guide parties, please call Dave Duwe at 608-883-2050
