    Lake Shawnee---Topeka

    Do any of you fish Lake Shawnee in Topeka? I may be meeting a buddy there this week and we would be fishing it for the first time. Is it worth our time or should we make the treck north to Banner?

    I fished it when I was with Tyson one day. I think we had about 15 bass each. It was fun, but they weren't any size to the ones we caught...
