i fish the bottom lake for cat fish at times fished it this year few times had only few pound and a half or so nothing compares to how it was 3 yrs ago used to catch some nice size over 10 lbs might give it a shot again soon
I fished the bank around the entire 2nd lake yesterday @ "Trouble" Mill. Fished for 2-1/2 hours. Threw everything at 'em. Weedless worms & top water frogs thru the pads around the edges, big spinner baits, small spinner baits, cranks baits, you name it... And not a single bite. Came across 2 or 3 other guys fishing the banks in various places and they were all having no luck either. Wonder if the bass have all just gone down to the deepest parts of the lake to escape the blistering heat of the shallows after the last week of 100+ temps? What was really odd was the water was gin clear all the way around the lake, and there were areas where I could see the bottom of the lake 30 to 40 feet out from the bank, and I never so much as saw a fish? even with polarized glasses. Didn't even see many bait fish around the banks? Just an odd day?
I assume you're talking about the small lake with no boat ramp. I'm curious how often guys use boats/kayaks to fish that lake. If not often, I can imagine some good-sized bass out in the deeper parts.
