It was a fall Sunday afternoon fishing excursion with Scott. Our main target was bass and pike. We did succeed in finding both, but we lost more of the pike than we caught. We never did find any great concentration of either, but we did pick up a fish fairly regularly. The scattered fish we did contact were fairly aggressive.
We fished for the bass and pike out by the man made islands along the weed edge when we could find it. What I mean by that is the lake is terribly choked with weeds and it is very hard to find any area that has less than six feet of water that is not choked with weeds. We finished the last hour of daylight fishing for walleyes on the wing dams. We never did get any walleyes, but we did catch the rock bass and the small mouth bass off the rocks.
