have had some success on this lake in the spring with much less in the fall. Planning on hitting it once or twice between now and thanksgiving. Anyone on here fish this lake late in the year? what works for you throughout November? Dont need anything specific just some general tips. Thanks

It wasn't November and I don't have much experience there, but I fished it last October for several hours. Nothing worked for me, or the guys I talked to. They drop the water level of the lake, it was about 6 feet low and is every year. Some local guys told me spinnerbaits work all year there, and smaller crankbaits. I did have big one follow in casting a pod of bait in the deeper areas, but didn't see it until I was taking my lure out of the water on the 8, as the water was really dirty from a storm. I started doing at least 3 8's after that. I was going to try trolling, but my electric motor died on me, so you may want to give that a shot. Good luck!

Unfortunately, Thursday it was 65 percent ice including west boat ramp. Friday 95 percent ice. Not thick. I planned on going there Sunday. Going somewhere else.
