Cookslav Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) Have fun...Its a Zoo Lotta weekend warriors out there zipping up and down the lake with no concern for their wake. Last year there were a few threads about canoes, and small boats almost being swamped.... I almost got into a bit of a situation with some goons... I was Drifting along the inside of the island in a very obvious path when this litteraly Flys by me with in 10-12' and stops maybe 30' in front of us and procceeds to drop anchor, and start casting...he didnt like it much when I adjusted my drift to go "between" him and his "magic" casting spot. Nothing a few hand gestures could't work out.... I used to enter years ago, then stopped because it litteraly is a Zoo out there, then I gave it a whirl last year...never again. Nothing against the tourney, but that shoulder to shoulder competetive stuff is not for me. Just be carefull out there because there are MANY who are not.

davew3 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 BIG crankbaits or Big spinners trolled in front of the dam. 20 t0 40 ft depth Or further up the lake in front of the bays on the right side. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinnerbaitking Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Missed it last year but fished it for about 15 years before that, a buddy caught 2nd biggest a few years ago, I was using bigger spinnerbaits and jerkbaits and he was using smaller spinners,spoons and crankbaits we were both catching fish, just not big ones, then he started using a #1 spinner and caught a 36+" pike, as far as the idiots go keep a big dardevle on and keep boats or in my case jet skis, 3 of them,figured out real quick I wasn't going to give in to them, we have caught them every where, above the bridge and below, I have helped at the ramp often to help things move smoothly while I wait my turn Richard PS: Working again this year or I'd be going again this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
