Thread: cloverdale lake

not impressed with this chain of lakes......
small public launch that will hold maybe 7-8 trailers , no dock , very shallow launch (needed to back the truck nearly all the way into the lake before the boat would float off the trailer) and absolute morons that cannot read a sign that says "NO PARKING , KEEP LAUNCH CLEAR"
had to jimmy my trailer all around just to be able to get the boat launched....idiots.
anyway , fishing.. tried each of the first two lakes , nothing but smallish gills on the first and one small crappie.
second lake , I found a big laydown tree loaded with crappie , caught over 30.....only one was big enough too keep and she wet back to grow.
used both minnow and jigs, every cast would get a hit.
I did see some gills in the shallows and very few looked to be over 7 inches.
this lake I will be crossing off my list.
and it is too bad as my brother just bought property that has access to the lake, oh well.

John, He actually has an offer in on two houses over on Long. They sit side by side. He wants them both. One as a main house, one as a rental.
