So when is the fishing trip?? I live about 15 minutes from this water.  I would love to get into some perch, bluegill, or walleye there.  I have fishing it for years with minimal success every now and then i will pick 3 or 4 eyes... I would like to go when everyone else trys that way we can see what exactly is goin on under there... haha

Sunday @ 8am is my plan. Catching fish shouldn't be an issue if we can get out to the reef complex near the island. I haven't caught a Perch or White Crappie out of there yet (never fished for) but I know they were stocked in Killdeer like crazy. I have caught Walleyes, SM & LM. Bass, Catfish, Bluegill, Rock Bass.

I also think it would be nice if we could get a few members out and dissect the lake

Were headed up to Michigan on Sat to do some fishing, If i am back, i just might come down and join you all.
Crappies are there, hard to track down and catch. Perch have always, in my opinion been few and far between.....this res isnt what it used to be.

I mostly go after the smallies. but when jig fishing I catch a ton of walleye. in most lakes with Perch you hook a few now and then bass fishing, must be a very small population. I hope to see you Sunday.

thats all I had for years! if my buddy dont go you can sit with me. on clear lakes sometimes it helps to hide the sun. If he does show I have a 1 pakshack you could use its small but works.

as clear as that res usually is, and as low as it is now, sight fishing should be quiet possible if your in a shanty.

Went out today. caught maybe 30 bluegill, and 7 walleye <--- all small, and 2 smallmouth bass.
had a camera it looks like all of the fish are in one area. and its not the deep area. if you go out you can tell that I made Swiss cheese of the reef areas and the deep hole found them in the saddle area of the 3 reefs 300 ft NW of the island bluegills are in the stump reef area.
