Hello friends. Summer is here. The bass fishing remains simply incredible. Our lakes have really shown out this year. There are good fish being caught in the grass, and on the ledges. Whatever your favorite bait, you can tie it on and throw it just about anywhere and get bit. We have been concentrating on ledges, primarily throwing big worms. We have had several days of good spoon fishing as the fish move in good schools. The Lucky Strike 5 1/2 incher is what we are throwing. 

If you like shallow fishing try a white jig ripped threw shallow milfoil. There is a great deal of milfoil in the backs of most bays. If you're ledge fishing, try to locate the big shad. The schools of big fish are following the schools of large shad. 

The whites and stripes have been very active on the main lake bars. Jumps erupting all throughout the day as these aggressive feeders gorge on schools of shad. Just about any moving lure will get you bit during a jump, and if you got a topwater handy, you'll have some real fun. Remember to look for the gulls as they take advantage of the feeding frenzy, they can be a real good clue as to the whereabouts of a big school of feeding whites and stripes.

Although we have been primarily bass fishing, we have reports of some good bluegill catches around banks laden with mayflys. Crickets or pinched worms will catch you a basket full of these tasty filets. Small pop-r's are also a fun way to catch these fish on light tackle, and you never know when that 3-5 lb bass will be lurking just below the surface either. It is always great when a nearby largemouth will take the bait intended for a bluegill, it makes for a whole lotta fun. 

Get out and enjoy the summer and enjoy our lakes. 

Our resort boasts the finest lodging accommodations on the entire lakes, with dining and activities for the entire family, in case you have non-fishermen in your group. We look forward to seeing you.
