First a big thanks to all the advice and PM’s I got pre trip. From this FW newbie, it’s much appreciated gents!

Trailered up the boat and 2 yaks. Had a condo lakefront close to the village. Just awesome fishing on any piece of structure we found especially moving north away from the crowds in the southern basin.

Nothing huge at all but a steady diet of small and largemouths, yellow perch, rock bass, bluegills and cats in the dark. Not a single pickerel or pike in the 8 days we stayed. Gave the 90-120 FOW a try close to the Narrows area twice early morning with spoons (jigging) and live shiners with no takers.

Dunked worms right off the boat tied to the dock every nite and after 10 pm it was always game on with the cats.

Just about everything we threw caught but purple keitechs on a drop shot rig was the ticket all week. The boys in their yaks def outcaught the big boat big time!

A def lack of pics on my part as it was just a busy ass week! Will def do this trip again. Been up there before but never with the boat and yaks and it was a shit load of fun.

Again thanks for info boys!!!

Lipping a bullhead that size is brave!
Thanks for the detailed report!
I have always wondered what that lake was like. Always heard stories.

Lmao.....yeah lipping the cat left just a slight bruise around the thumb knuckle :D

Just another question......what do you guys do, to not hang up on the rocky bottom? For me it’s equivalent to togging And par for the course. Lost a ton of sinkers and jig heads all week.
