Got up on Saturday with bass on my brain. Put together my pontoon and hit the water around Black's Beach where I was staying. Did very well at both ends of Black's beach, but fingerlings all in between. Used a drop shot rig almost exclusively since I don't like to carry more than 1 pole in the pontoon. Used a fat roboworm, and caught some decent hawgs, but the biggest was on a Nojo worm, oxblood.
By noon, the rest of my party was up and ready to fish and we headed out on the water. We headed all the way to the north end of the lake and the fishing was on fire for anyone with a roboworm. A couple decent fish, the biggest 5.2lber, pretty impressive for Curlew, atleast from my experience the bass are plentiful but you really have to work for the big ones.
After dropping off some of our party we headed to the other end of the lake, just before the small connected lake that some call "Roberta". We fished for about an hour without anything decent and then splash, I had a tiger muskie on my 8lb flouro dropshot. The line snapped on the hookset and I followed with my muskie rod. No joy.
We moved along and fished the cove to the west and the bass were there but I stuck the musky gear, eventually we came across a large muskie 35" + just sittin on a submerged log, the first cast he twitched but stayed and then ignored all my subsequent casts before swimming off.
We fished around a bit more but the bass bite was on, but we spotted a couple muskies but they weren't interested in anything I brought to the table and I wasn't able to boat a muskie this year but I might have a chance to go back early fall.
Fished for trout a few nights and didn't catch anything, my little sister caught a few. All the trout I saw this week were small and fat?
No decent pics of anything, just a lil one with my lil sister.
It's not too bad, same ownership. Al & Sharon. The cabins I've been in are pretty crappy and the restrooms are probably the worst on the lake.
Great if you are RVing and it's nice to be right on the water but if you are in a tent and need to use the facilities I wouldn't stay there, my wife had to use the restroom a few times and I had to hear about it...
I fished out there all weekend as well for Tigers seen 18 with no takers and no follows, that lake is deffenitely a love hate relationship. You love to see all the big fish swimming around, I saw 6 fish in one 10 yd area and one had to be over 50". You have to hate it since most of the time they dont hit anything, I think there is way to much feed in that lake. Too many small Bass...Good fishing everyone..
Yeah, I got 2 decent Tigers last year for my first real try at them so this year I thought I was gonna have no problem. Had to swallow some pride coming back to camp with no pics.
Went there around the first caught a ton of small bass. caught two small tigers, black yube. spotted a few decent ones no takers. wasnt worth the drive!
Al & Sharon told my parents that they've sold Black's Beach. It will be interesting to see in the coming year.
