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.

4 Hour Trip on May 25, 2025

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.

My dad got me hooked on fishing. Ever since I was a little boy. Through the years, it seemed. I always had a knack for catching fish. I was helping a guy who owned a bait shop, and he suggested I might want to give guiding a shot.
