Caught a ton of crappies throwing a 1/8oz yellow jighead with a matching 4” Mister Twister grub. Let it sink to about 5-7 FOW and slowly retrieve it. Biggest one was 11.25”.

The bite was tough but managed a few bass. Side note, remember this is a catch and release bass fishery and a slotted limit for northern pike. Read the signs at the launch. This is also a non motorized gas engine lake. Makes for a very peaceful lake to fish and canoe/kayak in. The bass very very finicky, and wanted nothing but slow moving wacky rigged worms. Biggest bass of the day was a 17.75” bass and smallest was 14.5” bass. A few crappies were caught by other anglers going after bass. Also managed a couple small northern pikes using moving baits such as a chatterbait or tandem spinner baits. Water temp was around 78 degrees, water clarity was good at around 10-15 feet visibility.

I caught some pike and small bass around the weed perimeter using ned, wacky and tubes. Friends caught larger bass in the lily pads using a frog. That was definitely the ticket for bass this evening.

Took the kayak for a morning outing. Used the mini chatterbait with a trailer and tossed it along the weed lines near the dock. Caught several medium size LM bass.

Drop Shot

Got out a bit later last night (6:30pm) because it was so hot. Tried working a frog and flipping some grass with no luck. Got my only bites on a drop shot on the weed lines. Key was to get it in the weeds and work it out. I am still working on my drop shotting skills so I missed a few and had a few strikes as I was reeling it in.
