Sunfish/Horseshoe

[love2fish4ever]

I've fished these two lakes peroidically the last couple of years, because they are supposed to have a pretty fair number of pike. We've caught a few small ones, but not the size or numbers that the survey indicates. Went to Sunfish on opener & the water was dirty colored & there was barely a weed to be found other than the new lillies around shore.Anyone have much success on these lakes?

Thanks, L2f

No luck at all on Horseshoe - great looking lake for bass - will have to try my luck with that once open.

Try Rice lake for Pike. 30" minnimum, 1 fish per day.

muddog, can a person get in by the county road????

Rice Lake, near Hunt Lake? That's really shallow & I think the only way in is on the west end off the road, no public access. I've always cosidered taking my canoe there, but have never done it. I just wondered if anyone else had experienced tougher fishing on Horseshoe I used to love that lake, bass crappies & pike.
