This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Black Donald Lake advice

Post by angler1KAAO »

Hi, I'm fishing Black Donald Lake next week and was wondering if anybody has any tips on finding/catching bass. I'll be launching from the public launch, I've never been there so I could use any info you have. Is it very weedy or rocky, clear or murky, depths etc.

This year wacky worm rig works wonders on most of the lakes.
Chose green/ white combination, or ask locals what works on this particular lake.
Every lake is different.
Smallmouth bass and largemouth as well now sitting between 1.5 to 2.5 m deep.
Add one splitshot 2 ft above wacky worm rig.
DO NOT SPOOK THE BASS!
If you come roaring with your motor boat to the spot - forget to catch the bass.
Come gently and cast away from the water that you passed before. Cast near the shore or even in open water where the depth 1.5-2.5 m.
If you try to fish for bass in main channel where it a lot of boat traffic - no hope. Go to side bays where it is quiet.

Good luck on your bass fishing
