Lake Puckaway – Frog fishing lily pads is producing catches of largemouth bass up to 3 lbs. The big fish for the contest was a 6.05 lb. last Sunday to win an Angler’s Choice bass tournament held on Big Green.

Jig and crawfish combos, drop shots and working a plastic worm on a shakey head jig are all working. You must work the rocky drop-offs and deeper weedbeds to catch them. Fishing for both largemouth and smallmouth bass remains steady. Try to find unpressured areas away from the community spots for gills exceeding 9 inches. There are plenty of medium sized gills, but you will find the bigger gills just outside of the pack. In this heat, I suspect that the cooler tributaries are a better choice.Īrden Katz said largemouth bass were good in 8-12 feet around the docks on the west side of Geneva Bay pumpkinseeds and bluegill were good on the north side of the lake in 17-20 feet from “The Narrows” west.įishing Report – Mike Norris Big Green Lake – Bluegills remain excellent outside of weedlines and in 20 – 30 feet along drop offs. Trying to coax a hooked smallmouth out from under a downed tree brought back a lot of memories of steelhead fishing in Indiana. Find the favored habitat-wood is good foam is home rocks rock-and the fish will be there. I know all about the differences between stream trout, steelhead and smallmouths, but I’m beginning to think that there are far more similarities than differences.

As is typical, the water was cold, even in late August. Speaking of cool streams, I fished a new stretch on one of my favorites over the weekend. There are enough cool-running streams in the area to keep me busy until then. Hi Dale, An interesting weekend of fishing.
