ANY BODY HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT BASS LAKE CRAPPIE/SUNFISH ACTION. BEEN OUT THERE TWO TIME, COULD SEE UM DOWN THERE BUT COULDN'T GET A BITE.

THE CRAPPIES ARE OKEY SOME DECENT ONES. THE GILLS ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW NICE ONES IN THE LAKE. I ALWAYS USE A SMALL GLOW IN THE DARK WITH WAXIE AND HAVE NOT TO MANY PROBLEMS WITH HOOKING INTO SOME NICE SIZED GILLS.

[can it be luck?]

Redman, try downsizeing your baits and line. Go with with 4lb max on your poles. I have some local lakes that get pounded heavy, the ONLY way to catch the panfish is with a finnese approach. This may not sound so important, believe me it is. Good luck fishing!

CAN IT BE LUCK AND PBOWHUNTER, WHICH PART OF THE LAKE DO YOU FISH ON? AND WHAT DEPTH?

[can it be luck?]

Redman, I don't fish it, a little out of my area being from Wausau. I was useing a generalization which works on most all finicky panfish. Hopefully pbowhunter or others might be able to help you with some locations and such. If you can see them down there, you know you're on em.....Now getting them to bite is the problem. Tiny jigs, larvae bait, and 2-4# line.

FOR THE GILLS I GO TO THE SOUTH OF THE SHACKES. a hundred yards or so. Then for the crappies i go to the south side of the lake where there is a 35 foot hole on the south west side of the lake. 200 yards from the farthest south part.
