Got to the L-Dock around 8:00 in hopes of getting bit by something. I got a two pole endorsment this year so set up the spinning reel with power bait and used a bait casting reel for bass. Fish jumping everywhere and some big ones too. But what I was amazed to see throughout the morning was HUGE bass roaming around right by the dock. I used jigs and senkos on the plastic side and a few cranks after that. I was throwing it right in their face but they didn't even look at it. I was stumped. I did catch a nice rainbow on chartruese PB and managed to catch my first rock bass on a white and black crank. First time catching anything on the bait caster, so that was cool. Another guy on the dock limited on rainbows in about two hours. Gorgeous morning, good luck.

Are you sure those were bass ? There are a lot of carp that roam thru there all the time , might be what you saw !

Now that you mention it, they definitely could have been carp. I've never seen one before but they just looked like 5lb bass.

YOu can tell carp from bass by the tail. Carp have a more goldish brownish color, and bass have a black stripe on them. Good to here that the fish are coming in close though. I'm going to head back down there.

Yeah, Elijah, I rarely have success at this lake but it's close and there are several species if you can find em. I was hoping to find some lmb though, I hear they're in there.

I've caught some LMB using lures, check out this link "http://www.friendsofgreenlake.org/fish.html", also a tiger musky about 6 yrs ago, probably all gone, wish people would catch and release those.
