    It used to have a nice population of good sized bass. I caught a 4lber a couple years ago and saw a few decent sized fish spawning last year. Most of the time I've spent fishing there was along the riprap with small blades and buzz baits. That was before they pretended to dredge the lake! If you are standing at the marina and look way back to the right you will see a couple of big lay downs. you might be able to still catch a few back there with some small t rigged worms.

    I believe they are a 56lb thrust with the larger prop like the one pictured. You also nee the "pan" that goes with that motor to install it correctly. How much was it listed for on CL?

    Make sure you have everything you need to be safe first of all. Then make yourself a list of what you will be bringing with you on the boat. If it's your first time on the boat, I would keep it simple until you get the feel for your new boat. The last thing you need to do is trip over an over packed boat and fall in! Will you be solo or with a buddy?

    What bladesmith said, if I can control the boat and my baits, it's not too windy!!

    J, yes. You wanted to try fishing deeper, main lake points right??!! Start experimenting with it. 1/4 oz is plenty!

    I've had the opportunity to fish sme of the waters around LaCrosse. I've had some good luck on the Minnesota side just over the bridge in that little park (can't rember the name of it) I think it starts with a P?? Some deeper water in there. My go to was a smaller spinnerbait and swimming grubs around cover!

    Are we all still excited??!! It's getting closer!!

    Most of the bigger fish are relating to main lake cover and structure this time of year. Lake ridge is a good sized creek, it does have some deeper water, getting to it from shore is a little trickier!!

    Quite right!

    As a locksmith I am in contact with some of worst germ transferring objects in the world, door hardware! I don't wash my hands incesintly nor do I carry hand sanitizer with me. I wash my hands before eating and after bathroom use. I also try to make sure I keep my hands away from my face during the day. I like to think I have a money immune system!!

    Oooops, didn't even see it there!!

    Wonder if we can get the mods to pin a section on Livewell care?

    Moken12, where is "around here", if its the Potomac, frogging them up this time of year is the most fun!

    Glad you were able to catch a few. The res is an awesome fishery, hope my advice was helpful!

    So your chiller unit goes into a cooler with ice, then you pump your water thru the cooler unit and recirculate to the wells with cooler ( temp wise) water??!! Sounds like it should work. Like Slo said, you really don't need to have your livewell water but about 10* cooler than the surface water. If you have it colder that that, releasing the super chilled fish back to the lake will certainly be too much of a shock to survive. Just a thought. I keep a floating pool thermometer in the livewell to keep an eye on livewell conditions

    Yes, sorry, the fountainhead marina! They still had some there last time I looked!
  19. quanjig
    They have them at the marina. GEMCO, just re issued the map with the locals lingo on spots. It gives you the general areas to start your search for "the spot!"

    I would fish the left hand bank from the point across from the marina all the way up the the old Ryan's dam. Pay closer attention to the grass beds and steeper bluff banks. Smaller finess worms and creature baits t rigged should get you some bites. Don't be surprised if you get into a big catfish! Loads of big flatheads in there!
  21. quanjig
    Plenty of good spots within sight of the marina. The point across from the ramp is a good spot to try first. Top water along the grassy point. If you don't get any takers, try a shakey head a little deeper along both the inside and outside of the point. You should also try the old Ryan's dam structure up lake. Try just about anything and anywhere in that area. You will probably see bass breaking on schools of shad up there. Have fun and be safe!

    Depth is all relative to the area you are fishing out there. Sharper contours are the things I look for. Places that drop off quickly like channel edges. Down lake you find them with drops from 20' leading into 33' in two boat lengths. Up lake it's a lot less drastic! Sunday I was sitting in 30' castin up into 7' catching fish relating to the bait cruising the drop off. It takes time to find good productive areas like that but when you do it can be lights out with the right conditions!

    Thanks guys, with the days getting warmer, the offshore stuff is starting to heat up!!
  24. quanjig
    Fished today from around noon till 5. Ended up with about 25 fish. 3 fish in the 4lb range and probably 5 close to 3 with the rest just keepers or smaller. Here are a couple of the better fish. All of them were off shore structure fish!!

    BEAUTY! That looks like a super solid combo. Need feed back please!!
