My Pike Fishing Video | Lake Geneva, WI

Lake Geneva Pike

I took the new bass boat to Lake Geneva the other day and I decided to target smallmouth bass and northern pike — one problem though.  I had trolling motor issues, so I ended up going after northern pike instead by drifting perch from 18 to 35 feet of water around the points just out of Williams Bay.

It can be a challenge to catch fish out of this lake with all of the pleasure boaters and fishing pressure, but it makes it even harder when you can’t use the trolling motor to stay in the depths that you want to fish. 

I spent lots of time drifting over the correct areas, then firing up the engine to move back to the same area for another drift.

It was all worth it when I got one good bite from a pike.  I love this lake.  It’s a trophy fishery and one of the most beautiful lakes around.
