Decided to bundle up and give Pierce Lake a try for a few hours today. Manage to catch & release one largemouth on a crank bait down from the boat launch area near the point. Then fished from the point down to where the lily pads are around the corner across from Red Oak Point - no takers!!!

Drove over to Flag Point before heading home to try my luck there for a few minutes. I managed to catch, photograph & release a 5 pound (20-1/2”) largemouth bass from off the point. Was my personal best for 2023!

It was the perfect day ( windy, overcast, & threat of rain ) to try top water lures for largemouth bass. 

I managed to catch and release two but missed a third ( she exploded on the lure but  did not get hooked ). The biggest was just at three ( 3 ) pounds and the second was a little over ( 2 ) pounds, the one I missed was probably in the same weight range.

Just enjoying the fall colors and getting some excerise.

Sunny 90°
Water: 79°
Weed Beds
Fished Friday night from 4pm to 7pm, it was sunny and hot, but the fish showed up! Fished a weed edge in 8-10 feet with crankbaits and lipless cranks. Wife boated two largemouth with the biggest being 3.22lbs. I had two walleye both about keeper size, a largemouth, and 4 white bass. Definitely one of the better largemouth days I’ve had out on Pierce, had not seen that many largies in quite some time. Hopefully after the draw down from the dam construction the lake is back to normal.

I highly recommend pink headed jog-1/16 oz with either small gulp minnow or Kalin crappie scrub in shad color.
Good luck!

Does anybody fish for Crappies on this lake. I am 78 years old and have always fished for bass, walleye, Northern and musky. I have never fished for crappie. Would like to try for crappie. At this time of year what artificial  lure would you recommend. If jig, what color of jig and plastic. Any hints for this lake would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance. Be safe out there.
