    Report: I ished in the evening and cought a couple with my whitecolorado spinnerbait. They seemed to be suspended in thedeeper water. It seems to me like some o the orientals arekeeping the bluegill because there were loads o them whenI have ished in the past. Sometimes I wonder what kind oa meal they get out o them? A couple bites. Anyway, itlooks like the bass are slowing down now. Good ishing toall!

    Report: Went up to spring lake loat tubn' or a couple hours, and just got a couple hits on cranks and salamanders. So it was pretty slow so I remembered how there used to be so much bluegill in this lake so I tried catcing and only caught about 10 small ones, and i was wandering why the bluegill bite was so slow. Then on my way out i saw some guy with a couple buckets o 2-3" bluegill there must have been 300. Well, I guess that answered my question about where all the the bluegill have gone.!!!!!!!(bluegill soup)!!!!!!!!!

    Report: Yo I come on here to see how the fishing is at the lake. I've fished this lake for the last 30 years and do great every year. It's nice for me to be able to come on here and see the people like fatchicks takes the time to let the rest of us know how the fishing is. If you want to help the lake then find a way to get them to make it illegal to take fish during the spawn. Instead we get a look of Asians that come with live bait and keep every keeper sizes fish they caught. And trust me I have no problem with anyone keeping fish but lets wait till after the spawn. Anyways FATCHICKS, thank you for all the help

    Report: I will try that but it sounds like a bait suited more for the warmer periods of the year. Thanks for the advice though, I'll check out some swimbaits, how big should it be? Anyone with advice for winter fishing here, it would be greatly appreciated. I love catching those big fish in this lake. The big ones also seem to like 4 1/2 inch storm finesse worms, i caught a 8lb and 5lb fish earlier in the year with that. Sports Authority used to have it but then it vanished, so i need to find a new bait to replace that one. That's going to be tough!!! Every time i went out with it, i caught a fish. I have no idea what the bait did that made fish go crazy over it, it doesn't resemble anything (except a very flashy worm)!lol Might make a trip during Christmas break to fish a little while here. My buddy wants to go to ilsanjo on the 23rd and he has never gone fishing and I've never been there. It will be a test for me, that's for sure.

    Tips: Any for winter fishing here would great! Can't wait for spring!!!
