Small lakes that are over looked

[monstermoose78]

Around the Princeton area there places that hid huge trophy sized gills. One of these lakes is Silver Lake everyone told me it was a bullhead lake. Well my wife's cousin married a guy who lives on the lake and the spring after the winter kill was a shocker to me. I seen numbers of 9 to 11 inch gills dead along with big crappies. It is about time to fish this lake to see what made it. 

Another big gill producing lake around is South Stanchfield. This lake got pounded for crappies and walleyes. Let me tell you the gills are what made me fish the lake. I never got huge numbers but the fish I caught were all over 9 inches. If you like big perch it has them too.

There are ponds in Sherburne Wildlife Refuge that have massive gills, but they changed the rules so you can only get to them during hunting seasons.

How is the ice fishing for these big gills?

Well the refuge is off limits and I can’t find a big gill yet
