Does anyone have any info about bass on this lake. Might go try it in the morning, weather permiting. Any advice would be appreciated.

I was out there last week and accidentally caught a fair number of them fishing for northerns. You'll have to launch out from access #2 from the Carver Cty Park area, which costs $4 per day or $20 for the season, then just work spinnerbaits over the tops and into the weeds in 5-10 feet of water. The pike you'll catch are all fairly small, but fun. The west side of the main bay seemed to have quite a few fish. The sunnies were biting well also on the point that wraps around the southwest side of the main bay. I also did well in the small bay on the northeast side working the edge of the weedline.

Thanks Norsky. Any big bass biting in there?

Nothing over 2 lbs, but I think a guy could probably target some larger fish with a carolina rig and a 6-9 inch worm rigged up weedless so you can get down to the fish.

This happens to be one of my favorite lakes to fish. They have a C&R law in effect for all bass, but it's a pretty easy lake to fish.

I fish mostly with spinners over the tops of weeds and catch more northerns than bass, however, spring time is the best for bass there. I've caught my share of 1 and 2 #ers and even a few pushing 4.

This is a great lake to fish. Tons of milfoil for jigging...
Two of my largest bass have come from there although it has been two years since the last time I fished it. I took a 6-15, and a 6-13 on consecutive days, from different parts of the lake. The lake is loaded with monsters, but they are extremely tough to catch at times. Tons of 3-5lb fish.
