The launch is rather tight. For larger (18 ft) and bigger it will be a real treat to load the boat onto your trailer. Launching was easy though.
There is limited parking. The ramp is a concrete slab. It is located right at a small dam at the end of a small creek/river.
We were told by a local fishing website owner that the lake is full of 2lb bass. So we were expecting something like White lake.
Not a large body of water, we started by slowly motoring around checking out structure and looking for weed flats, humps etc. it took about an hour to go to one end of the lake averaging 3-5 mph. The lake is deep (100feet at some places with steep drop offs not more than 10 feet from the shore. A typical Canadian Shield type lake.
Lots of humps but not much vegetation.
We were catching a few small bass nothing really over a pound. I think that the report of lots of 2 lbers was a little overstated. Plowjock caught a 1 lber that spat up a very green crayfish. I thought if that what they were feeding on then I should see if I have a creature bait in that colour.
All I had was a strike king coffee tube in green pumpkin, Hmm close enough so I nosed hooked onto my drop shot hook. I tossed in right beside some emerging vegetation in about 3 feet of water.
It no sooner hit the water when I felt a nice pull on my Simax Great Lakes drop shot rod. It pulled hard. Was this the mythical 2 lb fish that a certain website owner talked about? It stayed down until it got nearer the boat. Then we got a good look at it. Plowjock and I kid each other about needing the net when catching small fish. He took one look and immediately grabbed the net.
We usually try to knock the fish off if it isn't networthy.

not quite 5 lbs -> 4lbs 13 oz.
I think we might re-visit Pike Lke
