No Jim, It's all really flat. One interesting thing. Every day when I leave the ramp and idle out to the good stuff, I have noticed that everywhere there is a change in a type of weed, it is directly related to a very small breakline usually a foot or less in depth. The fish are actually related to ...

Has a tension knob missing. Look behind the star drag. Its missing. John

Jim, I mentioned that not many would give either spot a second look if we went by the guidelines. I actually found spot #1 by catching a bass on the troll about ten years ago and went to the cast and have been catching them there ever since. Spot 2 may not hold up. There are good breaks there in the...

Mr. Duplex wanted a map. Hope this helps. Jim, You are not getting my shorline sightings. John

Now and then the northerns do show up with the bass. One day I had a chatterbait on one rod, drop shot on another and a jig on the third rod. My three go to speed controls for this situation. At the end of one of the good movements , I had gotten bit off and had to re rig every one of my rods. I sin...

Thought there might be a little more interest but that's ok. It doesn't matter if the fish start out in the deepest water or the deepest water in the area or make their home in the weeds. When we do our homework either before or after we get on the water, we must assume that they do start out near t...

Bill, Not sure anyone can do better than those answers. Let's see what else trickles in. Great answers. John

On another subject, Do you think that all fish make their home somewhere around the deepest water in the lake or the deepest water in the area and once or twice a day they get active and may move towards the shallows? Could there be situations where this does not happen? What do you think? John

I was introduced to the drop shot with more meaning when I got to join Brett and Spence Petros on Lake Geneva. After that day, I brought the drop shot into my fishing a lot more starting post spawn and going all summer long. It has become one of my go to speed controls because of what? Think of it i...

Jim, If you do that, you will be John Bales!!!!!!!!! Heaven forbid.............. John

Jim, Great review of these waters. And some good video to boot. Thanks for sharing. John

Jim:)

I saw a group of spoonpluggers, some with experience on this type of water and some new to it. I didn't get to see each and every boat working structures but what I did see were two fishermen not familiar with reservoirs work their hearts out doing what they are supposed to do to gain real fishing k...
