Title: Found more good spots
Post by: slabslayer on October 10, 2011, 06:22:48 AM
Found some nice holes where some big fish might be laying come ice season.  Also found some nice new timber on deep drops by the channel.  Hope there areas pan out, seems like they should be great for ice fishing.  I know they were loaded with bass and crappie this summer, and usually summer and winter mirror themselves with deepwater patterns.  Can't wait to get on the hard water!

I cant wait to get back out there and get on some slabs. I think I made it out there about 5 times after I fished with you and always did good. When the ice is on and your ready to go get ahold of me.

Sounds good.  I like to get on there as soon as possible after icee on.  We just have to be careful becaust that lake has current in the middle and sometimes the ice is thinner than it looks.  But if you spud your way accross carefully there won't be any problems.  I still have your number, and I'll give you a call at ice on so we can get out there.

All this recent rain has brought the water level back to where it should be.  This lake was a foot or 2 low all summer into the fall.  But recent rains have raised water level back to full pool.  Should stay that way now, since it's not a drawdown lake.  That'll help some of the spots I like to fish in. ;D

Yea, it's a good place, if you know it.  When the ice gets on I can show you some good spots.  There are quite a few.  It's a boom or bust lake.  Took me a year to figure it out.  Was catching nothing but 6 inch fish, but after I figured the lake out I got into some really nice ones.  I've got slabs over 15 inches thru the ice and my wife got a 15 incher bass fishing with me this fall.  Gave me a new spot! ;D  Let me know when you're heading there and I'll show you around.

The water is coming back up after being down all summer.  Looking forward to visiting some of those new spots I've found the last 2 years of summer fishing.  Hoping to ice some big slabs.

You know we wont forget about you. I cant wait to get out there and nail some of those slab crappie. Somehow my sd card on my gps took a crap on me so I lost all my numbers including all the other lakes I had layed out. I know some of my spots by memory but the spots I had that had no visual markings I am going to have to work to find again.

Cool!!  Looking forward to hitting the ice on the North shoreline.  There's some fallen trees in 15 fow, that is a great spot for monster slabs.  There are 4 or 5 different trees, if you know where to look!

Found some other good holes as well.  HWJ and snowcone, we'll go at safe ice I'll show you around in exchange for Wingfoot info.  Also, the backwaters have changed and there's a nice ledge there it you know where to look.  It's a bit of a walk, but it's worth it.
