Lake Cenaiko Thread

[reinhard1]

Dakota where the small fly type jigs that you bought up front by the cashregister in a plastic box? i got a couple of those and haven't used them yet. good luck.

[Dakotabassbeast]

Yes that's where i got them. I got 3 green 2 red and my friend got a copper .

[Dakotabassbeast]

What time of day is usualy good ?

[mainbutter]

First light. Some people do well in the evening, but they'll be cruising at first light as the lake bugs start to awake.

[Dakotabassbeast]

Thanks ill try to get out there before 7:00.

[Dakotabassbeast]

As far as jigging how should i do it ? like constant action , twithing once awhile or just sit there?

[OnAFly]

We would use small panfish jigs and jig a couple fleet under the ice.

stopped by Cenaiko today with my grandoughter and my pup. took a few casts and got nothing. seen a few surface out there. there were a few people fishing out there. none were cought that i saw. a couple of guys had some bites as i was leaving who were using bobbers and worms. the lake is low. we need rain. good luck.

[Dakotabassbeast]

Hey was anybody out there for opener? Have they stocked it yet? I want to go out there this week and was wondering but i should use to catch them with?

[reinhard1]

i'm sure the lake was stocked prior to opener. i would go there now. good luck.

[bassmagnet]

I went yesterday but I'm afraid I got there a little late so the fish really wasn't biting very well. I saw around a dozen or so other people there tho all around the lake and I saw some nice fish jumping I just couldn't get out far enough with my waders.

If you do go just don't make my mistake and get there to late lol, go early and I got a feeling you'll get some nice fish.

[Dakotabassbeast]

Would the evening work?

[reinhard1]

usualy early mornings and late afternoons. good luck.

[Dakotabassbeast]

What would be a good bait choice? Might go tonight

[reinhard1]

i went to Cenaiko yesterday around 10am. it was sunny and not much wind. only about 6 people on the whole lake. the water was clear. noticed some smallmouth on and near their beds in the lake. seen two rainbows that were caught. the anglers i talked to were using worms or nightcrawlers. i was just casting a small spinner and only had a couple of bass follow and got two sunnies. didn't stay long, basicly just taking the dog for a walk and casting a little. i think worms are probably the way to go. seen a few rise and jump on the surface. good luck.

Any word on how the lake is fishing this fall?

[FishArms]

Well we are a little over a month away from the opener. If you have not seen the lake in the last 3 months, it's down, alot. The two north corners are pretty much dry. At least they were around thanksgiving when I drove by. What are everyones thoughts on the lower water levels and how it will affect the fishing?

[DrJuice1980]

Is it a zoo like Courthouse on opener?

[JBMasterAngler]

At least as bad, probably worse.

[FishArms]

Yeah the lake gets busy, but I've never had a problem finding a spot away from the crowds and catching fish. The crowds die off 85% after about 9am and each day of the season after opener it's pretty quiet.

[DrJuice1980]

can you use live minnows?

[JBMasterAngler]

No. It's a designated trout lake. No live minnows, and only 1 line.

[Eye_Finder]

Can someone tell me the date opener and time? Thanks.
