Great kayak friendly lake. Pike were holding tight to cover and hitting chatterbaits with a swimbait trailer HARD. Throw on a moderate action rod with a steel leader.

Bass were in 3-6' of water in the weeds. Best bite was east side where it drops off more rapidly. Sat in 10-12' water and casted toward the shore. I used XZone 6" sticks with laminated chartreuse/green and pink/green. It's probably the green pumpkin that made the difference.

Went to Ann Lake for the first time in 2022. Downsizing our creature soft plastics really made the difference. It created the bites that we wanted. Find the healthiest and thickest vegetation, and you'll find the mamas.

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.
