[Skunk City]

I've fished there a ton this year. A boat is a must have for this place. The only real shoreline spots(both parks) and totally drowned with weeds at this point in the season.

Early morning seems to be the best time to hit this place. Ive had at least 15-20 16"+ bass there in the morning this season, either on topwater rapalas or senkos. Biggest was 19". I've done decent at sunset too, as I landed a nice 18" Largemouth there a few weeks ago from my kayak. Check some of my reports I've posted in the passed few months and you'll get the idea of what has been working for me.

I've yet to land a Pike there yet(state record came out of there), but I've seen them in the super shallow water in the morning. I've even accidentally hooked up with a few smaller ones while Senko-ing it for bass and eventually got chewed off. There are tons of hungry panfish in there as well. We've landed a bunch of nice yellow perch, green sunfish and rockbass, mostly earlier in the season though.

Overall its a pretty decent place for bass. I won't spot burn, but spend some time in the "flats" there, as well as all the "fishy" shoreline spots. Sometime in the near future its going to be closed to fishing so they can continue the clean-up from the polluted Acid Brook that feeds into it. Not sure when this is going to happen...

Post back with results when you can. I will probably get up there a day this week weather permitting. The lake should be considerably higher with all the rain we had. My last bit of advice for you is to take it easy through the north half of the lake, as there are some spots with barely submerged trees in totally random spots. Some you'll see sticking out, others you'll only see when youre right on top of them. This is predominately after you pass under the bridge and passed the small island. Good luck!
