Lake Summerset, Winnebago County (all postings)

is this lake open to bowfishing? that might knock out a few before or after you professionally remove some.me and a friend of mine cleared out at least 30 carp in a 25x25 yard chunk of river. and that was in 30 minutes or so. just a thought for your lake.

Next Lake Summerset Fish Club meeting Thursday March 3 at LSA Office, 7pm. Usually lasts 45-60 minutes. EVERYONE IS WELCOME! New topic will be Professional carp removal. The carp are really choking our lake, destroying the bottom and weedbeds, and preventing our panfish from developing as fast as they should. Check out the following link. It is amazing the difference in water quality when these pigs are removed. The profesional told me about one lake in Wisconsin where the visibility went from 3.2 ft. to 12 ft. in one year after one carp removal session !!

Lake Summerset Fish Club needs your input! We would like to get an honest assessment of the panfish conditions in the lake, specifically: How are the sizes now and compared to say 5 years ago? How has the winter bite been? What is your overall satisfaction with panfishing at this point? Please take a couple minutes to send in a brief comment. Thanks! WE NEED YOUR INPUT OR THINGS WILL NEVER CHANGE. Send to following link or post here.

Appologize for not getting back sooner on the issues. Didn't get on PC till just now from a few days ago.

The club would like to see more of you guys attend our monthly meetings. They are very informal and we don't have official "members". Come once or everytime. Guests are totally welcome. We had 900 daily guest passes in 2009 and could count guests that attend a Fish Club meeting on one hand. With budgets the way they are we need the support to keep stocking dollars intact. It's hard for a handful of us to do everything. Strength in numbers. We can always use help for our fundraising days and stocking help too. Meetings first Thursday each month at the Office at the main gate. 7pm and usually last an hour.

Gulp is legal as are cut-bait fish caught in LS. Certain preserved real minnows in jars are now labeled "certified VHS-free" meaning they were clean before killed and packed. Dead minnows in a baggie for instance are not legal.

lsfishclub if i catch a bluegill from lake can i cut it up for bait ? Was out wed tryed for some eyes petty slow two dinks .

Greenhead, I thought so but he said Gulp-type fake leeches and jarred minnows that are marked as certified VHS-free. I thought he meant it had to say that on the bottle of Gulp. Hate to get in trouble with lake police up there. Lsfishclub, could you please clarify this? Coming up there soon, dont want to have anything illegal in my arsenal. GL

I said " treated minnows and leeches". As in dead, processed, freeze dried, store bought, legal in Summerset, minnows and leeches.

bo you are fine gulp is man made baits the vhs free are dead minnows treated and brined to sterilize them so they dont transmit vhs from the dead minnows into the lake

What the heck is vhs free? I just bought a jar of gulp alive minnows and i dont see vhs anything on the jar. Cant use these?

To clarify on previous post, LIVE minnows or LIVE leeches are NOT allowed in Lake Summerset. Only live bait allowed are worms and larvae. You are allowed to use Gulp-type fake leeches and jarred minnows that are marked as certified VHS-free.
