Looking to be there as long as hockey doesn't interfere...
I've stayed away from there over last few years. Smallies any better? The fish kill few years ago didn't seem to help anything. I was hoping the fishing would get better with the little pressure the lake has had for 3 straight years. im not sure if it's the fact the site has no docks anymore or if the fishin just stinks. The catfish are thriving, but I don't do catfish.
Lake sucks... Lol with that being said its 5 mins to be in water from my house, and a chance at state record smallie!
I remember the days you had to wait half hour to get on the water with little to no parking. Not a prob anymore. That lake used to be awsome. And I remember when it had tons of huge walleye. I will prob be on the water this month as well. Any advice?
Throw at rip rap lol...
Last year the guys that won had 8 fish over 18 in. About half largemouth and half smallies. The year before I won and caught 5 smallies over 18 in. There is a real good year class of largemouth that should weigh over 5 lbs this year. Not as many fish anymore but the ones you do catch are big.
How did it go guys?
Miserable. 8 boats 0 keepers. We caught 4 bass and several junk fish. Quite a few guys said they lost good ones but no one landed one over 18 in.
wow... how was the wind, waves? i figured it to be tough, and the wind kept me from coming out...
Tough launching boats. Wasnt too bad once you got to the other side of the lake.
Thats amazing how poor Powerton has gotten, i can remember about 5-6 years ago how everyone was saying how good of a lake it was. It seemed like every year they would predict that the next state record smallie would come out there. I remember reading a article on Powerton years ago about the bass had very short life expectancies there, only 6-7 years, but the smallies grew very fast in there shorter lifes.
