Bohner Lake

Up in Racine County, Bohner Lake is a lake and its basic numbers come out to about 135 acres and a maximum depth of 30 feet, which is enough information to keep the first trip grounded and realistic.

The basic picture

I would rather get two useful clues than make twenty random stops with my first few stops centered on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the water itself will tell you more than a long list of generic fishing tips.

What anglers can target

The current fish list for Bohner Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and give the plan a fair shot before abandoning it.

How I would spend the first few hours

Before I made the drive to Bohner Lake, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, and I would check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
