This little lake is very hard to get my canoe to, but is generally reliable in the fall for active fish.
Yesterday I fished from 7 to 11 and was rewarded for the effort.
Four pike with. 3 of 25 or 26 inches, caught on swim jig or plastic frog in 4 to 6 FOW.
More noteworthy were the bass. Two 10s, an 8 and a 14 on a popper. Also got an 18.25 on the plastic frog and a 19.5 on the swim jig.
All still swimming.
I went and tried out this lake from 5-9:30am on Sunday. Plenty of weed growth and lilly pads already, as expected. Caught 1 keeper bass on a swim jig and some small crappie and bluegill on mini-mites. Not much action otherwise, and didn't even see that many fish. 2-3 other kayaks canoes out today.
Out from 8 to noon.
6 gills caught. 5 flags, 2 caught (pike). All still swimming
Fished 8am -4pm 8 flags yielded 5 fish all northern. One keeper size but all were sent back swimming. Perfect day to be out on the ice. With now snow pack ice creepers are a must right now. Tight lines.
Was out from 11:00a.m. to 3:00p.m.
Took the wife out for the first time in her life.
First time on this lake and it was slow for us.
Got a few pointers from another guy on the lake about where to go on the lake next time I'm out. (He was trying another location for the 1st time).
He caught a 22" and 24" snake plus a LMB. Slow for him also.
Was out this afternoon from 2p - 4:30p and was real slow - had some bites on minnows and wax worms, one was big enough to break my line. More people than I expected were on the ice, 6-7 others were out when we arrived.
