Fishing at Delavan Lake, Delavan Wisconsin

35 Inch Northern Pike

I made a quick run up to Delavan today. First fishing day in a LONG TIME.....

It's been a month since I was here, Sept 28, 2007 .

Launched at 10:30AM and back off the lake by 2 PM.

Water Clarity 2-4 feet on most of the lake.

I went straight to the weedbeds with the blue-black chatterbaits (actually, the Strike King version "Pure Poison Swim-Jigs"), using a steady retrieve in 5-7 feet of water. ZERO. Made a quick switch to the Yum Wooley Curlytail grubs thrown in 2 to 4 feet of water around the surfacing weed clumps. BINGO.

Best fish 35 inches, next 32 inches, and 4 or 5 more in the 20-28 inch range.

I'll try to get out again before they close the launch (November 1st).

32 "

and 4 or 5 pike this size.

Good Luck Everybody !!!!
