matix10,

A buddy used to live on that lake, I used to fish it quite often. I would doubt there are in there right now, but I don't think there's a public access except by water. Under normat water levels the lake is a shallow bay at best so right now I'm shock it's not just muck.

But if you tell us how you do

[Mr Special]

Meant to say

If you get out tell us how you do
good luck

Oh, you find those biat shops yet?

There is a shore fishing area in a park but I couldn't tell you how to get there. I tried it once for crappies last year with no luck. Haven't tried yet this year. I have caught tons of small sunnies and small bass by the dam. There are always people fishing there. Again I couldn't tell you how to get there. I just know by sight.

I used to fish from shore at this lake with my father as a youth. There used to be a dock or you could fish the little bay or the stream area that goes into Tonka. The last time I was there would be about 10 years ago and I had great success on the beach shore by the little fence that goes out into the lake. Got some slab 12" crappies, some 3lb bass, walleyem, and a dogfish....My Dad usually goes there once or twice a year in the spring as the crappies do migrate to libbs for a few weeks. I would be interested to hear reports.

I grew up in the area and fished libbs quite often a few years back. You can get there from lakeshore blvd, off Minnetoka blvd, a few miles west of the I494/Mtka Blvd. intersection. Follow lakeshore as it winds around a bit and look for a right turn down to the park/beach. The beach is a great place for bass, in season. I did well with a texas rig, dark plastic worm. SOmetimes the area has a lot of anglers, so I would thro my bike in the truck and if it got crowded I would bike back out and around to the other side of the 'channel' by the beach.

At the dam, as a kid, I would take some fruit - oranges worked the best - and lay it out on the grass while I got started. Within a few minutes, the bees found the fruit...I would pinch them from the back and put them on the hook and whammo, crappie, crappie, crappie...have no idea if this still works...good luck!
