Lake Geneva

After a couple of wind days I made it out this morning the crappie were slow at first then picked up as the clouds came in and the wind had a ripple on the water. I was I 6 to 11ft casting bobber and minnow letting it slowly drift was key today looking forward to a snow day tomorrow. I did alittle smallmouth fishing to no avail but it was fun trying as I was casting c-rig and plastic on a very slow retrieve will keep looking. Water temperature was holding in the 37 to 40 degrees. All released today.

The water temperature is hovering at 39 to 42 and the crappies have pulled into the dead weeds and cribs around the lake there are large and smallmouth in same areas and the bobber and minnows work great. Have been having a blast as the crappie have been going all day on and off and while I love my mornings trips the bite has been on as long as the wind is blowing just right. Piers are going in around lake looking great be save reeel and set.

One of the piers at williams bay launch is now in. Also the launch pier in Fontana. 
Linn rd is still not in.

Pier on Hillside rd. (Trinkies) is partly done and can be used to launch.
They uncovered the kiosks....so i assume they want you to pay now.

Went back only to find one hungry crappie did some looking found gills and largemouth in 4 to 6ft then went looking for smallmouth I went 1 for 2 and Rick went 0 for 1 the drop shot and fathead on the break line. 

Nice job!
It’s good to see Spence back at it again 

When it rained the bobbers were going down now we just have to get them all the way to the boat. The bobbers and gulp 8 to 12ft with weeds no action the bobber slowly sank. 

Here we go the water temperature hits 39 degrees and the crappies slide in now hopefully the weather will cooperate and they will stay in. As of now no public launch piers are in yet so I have been using the launch with the least wind the bobber and gulp was on in 6 to 8ft missed more then we caught but when they shut down we made a move and found more with the same results missing then catching. No pics phone was sitting on desk at house. The days are getting longer and warmer so the bite will only get better give me a call as the time is now. 

Fun little video of before game fish season closed of catching some walleye out on geneva. They were hammering the jerkbaits. Now time to get on the crappies!

Are we wide open? Ice still floating around out in the middle somewhere? Thinkn about heading out on the boat from Linn. Any info would be fantastic. If I do get out, I will absolutely let you guys know what’s going on out there. Wonder what water temp is?
