Two Island lake?

[riversmallmouth35]

I will be heading up to Two island this weekend and was hoping to get some smallmouth. Are there fish still up shallow and what has been working good lately.

We also might go to crescent lake and was wondering how the fishing is on the lake. I have never fished it before and would like to give it a try.

I am also hoping on picking blueberries. Is the blueberry season still going or is it done?

Thanks for any help.

Two Island and Crescent are almost identicle...size, clarity, structure, fishing, etc. Both lakes are excellent bass producers. This time of year you might find a few small ones along the shallows, but I think the bigger ones will be more concentrated on main lake structure. I've always done best with perch colored crankbaits and white power grubs. Be careful boating on these lakes, the rocks can come up out of nowhere. Somewhere on the bottom of crescent rest my dad's lower unit.

Picked Blueberries on the roadside near Cresent yesterday, Aug 5th. You won't find alot, but enough for you pancakes or cereal. We picked about a quart between us in an hour or so. We were at Brule Lake last week, Bass were on the rocks in 8-10', anything with a worm on it seemed to work.

I agree with JB. Watch the first Island on your left coming out of the boat launch as there is a poin that sticks way out. Looking out onto the lake the first island you see past the point there is alot of reef to the left of it so stay west of it. Best advice is go slow watch for deadheads and be cautious out there. I have been running that lake for 20 years and took out my skeg and prop this year. Never be overconfident, like I used to be! There is some nice main lake structure as well as some deeper points that can produce well. Be careful anytime you are going between islands as well. My advice is get a good map, go slowly, plot a trail with your gps if you have one and then go out and have fun. Also, another word of caution, there are deadheads that float around on the lake just below the surface that can be a hazard so.........again, go slow, your lower unit depends on it!
