8/5/2014 11:10:00 AMFishing on Lake Geneva continues to be very good. The one key to Lake Geneva is that the water is slowly warming and the thermocline is starting to form, which is adding a the deep water bite. Smallmouth bass are schooled in 20-25 ft of water. Look for the fish by Fontana Beach or by Gage marine. They can be caught using either a...

8/1/2014 11:35:00 AMHi Folks – We are in mid-summer and fishing has remained pretty good overall. Fish have been active despite the cold fronts that have been battering the area. With walleye, we have been finding them in fairly shallow weeds, 5 to 13 feet depending on water clarity. When cold fronts hit they will move into 11 to 14 foot timber. Wal...

7/29/2014 3:10:00 PMFishing has improved over previous weeks. Like, Lake Geneva, I’m having a hard time with active Northern Pike but everything else is biting substantially better. This past week with the cooler weather the largemouth bass moved tighter to shore. My best depth was 6-8 ft of water. I’ve been catching them on top wa...

7/29/2014 3:10:00 PMThis past week seemed to be slow with summer vacationers, making Lake Geneva very pleasant to fish with very little boat traffic.

7/15/2014 1:35:00 PMThe weather this year seems to be getting a lot of conversation. Summer has been filled with plenty of warm and cold fronts, with several inches of rain mixed in. It's affecting the fish, but it's also making for good fishing on the warm sunny days. The walleyes this summer seem to be a bit spooky. What I mean by that is if you're ...
