Lake Elizabeth - July 25, 2020
The schedule originally had us going to Lake Geneva today. However, Geneva has been crowded this summer and we were worried about the boat launches filling up, so we switched the outing to Lake Elizabeth. Eleven members fished the outing.
Many small fish were caught, but the following scored club points: 17 largemouth bass, 11 bluegills, 1 crappie and 1 perch for a total of 98 points. Big fish winner was Jeff Haug with a 15-1/2” largemouth bass. There was no discernible pattern—some boats did better on plastics while other did better on nightcrawlers. Some boats did better early and the bite died at about 9:00. Other boats caught more after 9:00 than they did before. The only common theme is most of the fish caught were short and skinny.
Our next outing is August 8 on Round Lake. Jason Cashmore, Al Silcroft, and Dave Busscher have done well pre-fishing Round Lake recently, which bodes well for the outing.
