Thread: Rend lake

I agree. Been a rough year on Rend for me as well. If someone else knows how to catch them. Please share

It's called lack of population! This lake has been beat to death in the past several years and now the inevitable is showing up. Get used to poor catches because the dnr is gonna let continue rhis way. Are you happy with all the dinks? They need to address the limit!

I disagree. I think it has more to do with the lake being down. It is usually around 410.5 to 411.5 this time of the year and we are at 409. Big fish don't like to get in shallow bushes in clear water.

Look for more stained water and deeper bushes you will find bigger fish.

Doesn't look like a lack of big fish to me mean green judging by pix you have posted recently. Tell me, are you catching the numbers you have in the past?

I haven't found any huge concentrations in the few times I've been there this year like years past but man oh man have we caught some pigs. A lot of 12-15" fish.

Definitely need good electronics when fishing rend.

Metalworks what I am saying is if the water was a foot deeper and not so clear you would find bigger concentrations of Big Fish.

it has been a tough and I have been fishing the bushes for 20 plus years clear is not good in the brush and lack of water is another reason by far the worst ytd I have ever had.
