    West Boggs

    Thinking of making the 3 hour trek there mid week, not on weekend. I haven't fished there for 9 or more years, heard about the issues, draining a few times, etc. What can I expect if I go? Thanks, Mike

    My buddy says lots of action but fish are still small from the draining and restocking a couple years ago.

    You can catch all the fish you want, but 99% of them are in the 12”-14” range. I did find one that went 5 lbs 7oz this pat Friday.

    As mentioned small fish but you'll catch a load of them on about anything you throw.

    Their ramps are good. They have docks on both sides. The Amish restaurant on the lake is awesome. The blackberry cobbler is killer. lol

    By "trouble", I meant eating too much...last time, I had to lay down for 15 minutes before fishing again.

    My son and I went up a couple times earlier this summer, Morning of the 4th of July and caught 57 in 5 hours. Most were in the 12" range went back a couple weeks later and caught 43, Had a great time catching them just small. We were catching most on Texas rigged

    craws and caught a few on early morning frogs

    Myself and a friend also went in July. We also caught 50-60 12-13 inchers. We even had one stretch were we caught a bass on 9 straight cast. 5 in a row for my friend and 4 in a row for me.
