Took off to Eloika afterwork to see how much of the lake was effected by the recent vegetation kill off. Arrived at the public launch @ 5:30pm, was somewhat breezy, water temps in the low 80's. You could visually see the area's where the vegetation was absent, the boat lauch was clear and no cabbage hanging from my boat trailer! You could smell the chemical they used, very strong odor, I wouldn't eat any fish from this lake for awhile. We trolled along the south part of the lake, even though there were some clearings we still had difficulty navigating through the cabbage that was there. We were using plastics and top waters (did you hear that Bazzdude, topwaters). Caught and missed a few, wife caught a few largies and crappie using a small jig, she now holds the family record for smallest Bass! Tim, the one I'm holding is for you, check out the "topwater" buzzbait! :)
