Lake Summerset, Winnebago County (all postings)

Going out tomorrow. Will post conditions.

It is a gated (private) community. Lake dues pay for stocking. Lake is down over 34". I heard there is about 3.5-4.0" but haven't been out yet.

just checked this thread. you have to pay to fish here? ugh...I understand, but don't..if that makes sense? Bummer

hello, anybody know how thick the ice is yet?

Hey Tull,Looking to get out Fri 28th or sat.You up for the challenge.Should have plenty ice by then with the temps falling below 32 for the next week.Let me know.I heard the lake was down 28" in nov. does anyone really know?

has anyone heard if the fish are bitting im making a trip up the for the 4th on july an wanted to see how it was

Theres always a clown in the bunch. Where you been the last couple months? Wow a poet,didnt know it..Hahaha. Tight lines

It's gone. Sorry it took so long.

Hows the ice holdin up?

Started about 7, ended about noon. It was slow until about 10:30 then it really picked up. Got my limit but a lot of work. All crappies but one. Bluegill on bottom, crappie about 4-5 ft. up.

It was still 8 on the roadbed area

Plan on going out tomorrow, does anyone know how thick the ice is?

Live on lake been fishing the old road that runs through about the center of the lake. Decent Blues and Crappie but nothing in abundance. Any other good spots to try? Or type of bait? Any info would help. Hope ice holds up for the weekend having some friends up to ice fish, this weather might ruin that.

Found a hot spot about 20' deep. Fished for about 90 minutes, late afternoon. Pretty steady. Only got a couple dinks and 23 eaters.

I tend to keep smaller ones than most people, and actually i keep the really small ones and just use for cut bait. If we only keep big ones, the lake will only have little ones. It is also hard to get 12-inchers if they are taken out at 9". Just my opinion and that is how i fish. They all taste the same. I don't know if you have ever heard of Chuckholding. It is an interesting read that most people have never heard of (see link below). As you know, there is an overpopulation of little bluegills right now and a shortage of the larger males (easy targets during spring fishing when they are guarding the spawning nests). Same with the crappies. We are also suffering from a diminishing natural shoreline with trees, vegetation and bugs(i.e. fish food) close to the water, but that is a different story for a different day.
