    Default LOZ in mid-april


    Headin home for a few days of crappie fishing and was wondering if LOZ will still be going crazy, and will I have to deal with all the dumb leasure boaters and jetskiers? ANy help would be appreciated.

    IF the weather is nice, yep. Fished a couple bass tourneys as early as the first weekend. Took me 45 mins. to run up to where we wanted to fish. Took me 2hrs and 15 mns. to get back. Missed the weigh in and had some nice stress cracks in the transom...izzy

    Trying to guess if fishing is going to be good or not is like trying to win the lottery. Will the lake be busy yes/no, those idiots have cabin fever just as bad as we do. Go and make the best of it, just watch the board the week you head this way to see where they are biting.

    no matter what time of year, the lake is ours until 9 o'clock in the morning. after that i either post up in the back of a cove and bank fish from my dock until the folks hit the bars at around 7 at night. without the recreational boaters and drunken fools that lake would not exist. i have had a house on it for about 17 years and i have seen many, many changes. oddly enough, the fish still fight hard and taste good, plus now we have walleye!

    yeah bugman, that lake has got a good population of walleye now, finally! they have been stocking for ten years with nominal success until last year, for whatever reason, the population exploded. in the winter months go to the large bluff walls and tip an oversized feather jig with a minnow. otherwise, if you can get your hands on them, there is a large jig with an actual propeller just behind the head and those are killer! you could always throw a DD-22 as well, that just takes longer to find the eyes!
