I prefer Bandit lures in the pearl color. Crappie fishing has been very slow. They are very sporadic, and the schools are not well-defined. The crappies I’ve been catching are suspended in 20 feet of water.
Walleyes are being caught coming off the weed line in 20 ft of water. The fish are on the main lake points. Most of the success has been coming from large leeches fished on either a Lindy rig or a split shot rig with a chartreuse-painted hook.
The best location for the smallmouth bass has been by Belvidere Park or Assembly Park. The best baits have been split-shot-rigged leeches or small to medium suckers.
Look for the fish at Lake Lawn Lodge or Viewcrest Bays. A secondary approach is using a slip bobber rigged with medium suckers.
The best presentation has been ice jigs with wax worms or leaf worms fished on a split shot rig. Northern pike action remains consistent in the medium weeds in 13-15 ft of water. Use spinner baits or chatter baits for the best success. The best location has been by Lake Lawn Lodge or the bay […]
Walleye fishing has been a bit slow. I did catch a few on nightcrawlers fished on a lindy rig in 21 ft of water. Also I have caught a few while trolling deep diving bass crankbaits in pearl color.
