Great pics and that is an awesome dock for a meal of Panfish.
Pretty much never fails to produce really nice bluegills
got there about 11:30 am and quit about 12: 30 pm for lunch .
went swimming for about 2 hours after lunch and went back to finish what we started about 3 pm until 4 pm and then down the trail we went .
left with around 25 or so big ole bluegill.
the colorations were all over the map .
the fish were holding 8 to 14 feet down in 12 to 16 foot of water .
they bit worms and crappie nibbles on bare jigs and bucktails on 1/32 number 8 sickle hooks .
sure was fun on our ultralites , they pull like trains on 2 to 6 lb test and real light rods and reels .
the kid smoked mom and me on big fish and after our swim and lunch i stepped up and really hurt them
did ketch one small bass in the mix and probably 30 or so smaller bluegills .
tomorrow i will fillet them and we will have fresh fish for dinner .
they went straight on ice
good times for sure

that little lake has an abundance of 8 to 10 inch coppernose and probably crosses .
15 to 25 large sunfish standing in one spot isn't unusual , they are well trained though .
best go light with a small hook or you will just feed them .
they see hundreds of anglers per week , its the ONLY fishing dock on the small lake inside of a state park .
i sure love my xtralite quantum 7 foot with the sos 2 lb test on it when we visit there .

the water quality there is superb and fairly clear to aquarium grade year round , probably spring fed.
it has crappie in it as well ,but somehow in the last 2 years i have lost them .
i used to ketch them well off that dock and since they started brushing up the lake real heavily they seem to stay away .
and we also used to ketch a bunch of red ears in there and they have gone missing pretty much as well ?
