    Lake icara tips.

    I’m thinking about trying it again soon anybody got any tips or just fish the brush and rock reefs? I think I only go so I can stretch the legs out on the boat motor lol. Hey has anyone ever drove under the road and Fished that brush over there?
    Boy this heatwave has made it tuff to be on the water. I guess it will make me appreciate the cooler weather when it comes soon. I just told my wife that it seem like the other day I was taking hand warmers and 2 coat fishing.
    Iowa changes fast.

    Cool thanks for responding, the only time I’ve had much luck there was on one of the rock reefs, then i found a little stretch of bank that I got couple little 15” on. Have you guys noticed there’s no grass or moss in that lake anymore? I think it is on the DNR radar because of to many carp. I wish there was something they could do about the carp with out killing it off. They have tried to make it a good walleye lake and stocked them heavily there.
