If you’re ready to start fishing in Delavan and Geneva Lake, we’ve got you covered with Geneva Lake Bait & Tackle Fishing Guide Service. With Captain Dan at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Around here the fishing is popular for Largemouth Bass, Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, Muskellunge (Musky), Yellow Perch, Crappie, Sunfish, and more, depending on the time of year. During the trip, you might be spinning, popping, drifting, jigging, or bottom fishing. In winter you will be ice fishing.

Your vessel for the day is a 24’ Sanpan pontoon boat with space for 6 to 8 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. If you booked one of the ice fishing packages, you will find yourself fishing out of hard and soft ice shacks, for groups of up to 10 people. Dan will provide all bait and tackle except sucker Minnows and dead bait Smelt for ice fishing.

You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Some essentials to bring are bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

I told Captain Dan that we wanted to target largemouth bass and pike. He took us right to a great spot. My 11 year old son , who is new to fishing, caught a big bass and 4 northern pike! I even caught a couple of pike myself. It was an epic day! Captain Dan was on time, he is very nice and personable, he was very patient and he put us on the fish! I highly recommend his services. He really knows what he’s doing.

Our family had an absolute blast. Captain was on time, loaded with bait and tackle, and ready to shove off promptly at 7am. We could not have asked for better weather, company, and atmosphere. Captain immediately put us on a prime spot, where we landed fish after fish for the next 4 hours. We landed Northern Pike, Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Crappie, and plate size Bluegill. Such a great day on the water and making fantastic memories with the family.

Nice Captain Good Time

The weather was not ideal but the captain was super nice and accommodating he moved the trip back 2 hours for us so we missed the rain but we had a lot of wind to contend with. He found a good spot for us kept us out of main wind and we caught 6 fish, 3 good size Bass and 3 smaller Northern Pikes. Very nice experience. Would use again

We booked a trip with Captain Dan with the hopes of catching a northern pike and some chunky bass. Captain Dan delivered on both! He is a great captain and is very helpful. My friend went fishing for his very first time and he was wanting to fish more after the trip. Definitely recommend!

We experienced an awesome day on Lake Delavan! First time for an 11-year-old’s fishing extravaganza to materialize: a 35” northern, a walleye and a dozen very respectable large mouth bass, 3-6 pounders! We could not have asked for a better day!
