Been fishing up there alot lately and have had a good amount of success fishing senkos for bass. I find however that the best time to be there is when lake conditions are glass, as any wind really kills the bite. Is slowly becoming one of my favorite spots to fish for largies, mainly for amount caught, not really size of the fish caught as most are 3 pounds or less.
took a trip there yesterday didnt get anything but it was kind of windy for my kayak. i was expecting more water to fish bass but there was more deeper water with people fishing for trout
The ranking score is used to determine how "popular" a trip or location is. It is calculated based off of a weighted average of the number of reviews and the user ratings. For example, a location with 2 reviews and an average rating of 5 will have a lower "ranking score" than one with 10 reviews and an average rating of 4. This is because even though the first location has a better average rating, it has not been reviewed as much as the second location, so it is not as "popular". In the future we may modify the ranking score to take in additional factors, such as the number of views, comments, and photos.
