Rose Or Long By Vergas

[Slabber79]

Are the lakes that way as hard to get arround on as they are in clay county

Lakes are TOUGH but few lakes have some trails. Guessing you are looking for tulibee with those two lakes mentioned. We fished rose last year 12-14 inches and full of worms.

Thanks for the info and yes im looking for tullies last couple years on rose the tullies I got weren't wormy like normal

We slaughtered them on Rose last year, 3 of us doing nothing but dropping down and reeling up but there was like a 85-90% worm rate.  It was a blast of a trip probably caught 70-80 fish, keeping 40 plus but almost all got pitched due to worms.  Also wasn't impressed with size of them being 12-15 inches long.  

 

Cousin and I were debating on going to Long tomorrow morning but he heard there is 2 feet of slush on the lake.  He has a tracked wheeler and I was going to go across on snowmobile but he said his contacts were saying do not go out there.  I heard there is a private access on the east side of the lake that the guy charges a yearly fee to cross his property but I don't know any more information other that that.  I'm hoping to scout it a little bit tonight if I can get down there before dark otherwise it'll be tomorrow after I'm done fishing.  I have 2 lakes I'm potentially going to by Vergas chasing tulibees and see if they are flooded.

Be careful on the ice.  Saturday a buddy drove out onto the lake got about 100-150 feet out and broke through the frozen slush.  Took about 2 hours to get him out.  Yesterday morning I walked out to a tulibee spot since it was only 0.4 miles out and looked like snowmobile tracks most of the way.  Started drilling my hole and after a few seconds I broke through to water.  There was 9 inches of frozen slush 1-2 inches of water and 24-26 inches of ice.  As the day warmed up the top kept melting and when I left at noon I had about 4 inches of frozen slush and 6 inches of slush/water on top of the ice.  With warm weather coming I hope that slush that is frozen will just stay broken up and we can start driving around but until then I'm foot traffic or wheeler till then.  Some lakes are still snowmobile friendly but in 2-3 days I doubt that will still be the case.  

 

Fishing report for me was 

6:30-7:30 3 fish

7:30-8:30 20-25 fish was a blast!

8:30-12:00 20-25 fish

 

Was in 74 fow and I actually adjusted my graph to only fish the top 40 feet and 99% of my fish came from 15-25 feet down.  Very aggressive fish and was a blast.

Was a fun morning 30min after sun started coming up they went nuts. Such a blast. And the dog dropped one back in the hole.

Way to go.  We got into them this weekend also but wow was travel difficult in spots.  We drove wheelers out onto two lakes and took an hour to get off of one lake.
