tried lake sixteen for the first time today and got a late start. we put in the water at 1200 and spent the next hour trolling the perimeter and the center of the lake. didn't get one bump. figured we were in for a slow afternoon and decided to try some still fishing. actually, it was more like drift fishing as the wind picked up a bit and we forgot the anchor. for the next two hours we cranked in 8 nice fatties ranging from 13-16" using powerbait and worms. they were all really good fighters and the meat was firm. we had the whole lake to ourselves and managed to keep between the rain showers. all in all it was a great day of fishing.
