Started fishing this lake around 7am Sat morning. Lanched from the public boat lanch. Lake is really shallow so be very careful. The lake was really quiet as expected. I did see an older couple fishing from the bank. Fishing was really slow. I tried a few spot without luck... not a bite. I moved to the area right next to what look like a small island and hooked up with nice smallmouth. I was using a topwater lure. Fished until 11am without a bite.

Tried for bass no hits but caught a rock bass on a pearl jig and worm and bobber.

After work grabbed my pole and vest made my way to Lake Geneva. Having fished the lake before, I knew there were large bass there. well on the 2nd cast with a Yamamoto creature watermelon on a jig , BAM ! She hit then took off for the logs. After 5 to 7 minutes of fighting pulled in 4Lb , after the pic put her back. Oh ya caught her next to the fishing dock.

5.2 lbs and 20" long. Not bad for Geneva. Didn't have a bite all day after this pig.

Well, fishing to me is starting to slow in Geneva. Lots of folks out today. I woke up at 6:30 this am and thought, what the heck, I can be out on the lake by 7 if I get moving... So I went. Mom and Dad were out there too. They did pretty good with their 'custom' wedding rings. (secret). I forgot my trolling motor battery, so I rowed out and anchored. Caught one right off, and then it went quiet. I think its because dad threw a banana in my boat when he went by, which shut off my boat for the rest of the day. After sitting, I tried row trolling, still no bites. Call it a day. Dang Banana's. For real though, the bite is slowing. i talked to a few people, they hit a few too. I have to say, I was a bit disappointed today when I trolled by the public park. I have fished off the shore there too. Its about 200' wide of a lake at that point. I trolled in front of them, right in the middle, about a hundred feet out. A guy hollars off the dock, hey buddy, you are running over my line. I instictively respond, sorry, I didn't know, and spotted his line floating on the surface about 20' from me. I turned, and luckily didn't catch him. But after, I was thinking. Seriously? If you cast from shore, you should plan on boats coming by, and fishing half way across the lake is a bit..... well, I didn't go to that end of the lake anymore. Geneva was super calm this am, super calm. It was nice. Glad Mom and Dad had a great time, its super awesome to see. Fish on!
