Trip to Branched Oak Lake NW of Lincoln

Big Flathead Catfish (est.20-22#) caught while trolling at Branched Oak Lake
Cool, sunny morning for fishing at Branched Oak, started out good I thought with trolling in marina bay. Not long I hooked up with a big Flathead Catfish (20-22# range) on a flicker minnow. Fun to catch but not to eat! Total catch and release on Flatheads here at Branched Oak. The fish practically engulfed the #7 deep diving minnow look-a-like but with patience and the surgical forceps I got the crankbait out!
​The purpose for going to Branched Oak was to look for shad and active crappie beneath. I found both but no action on live minnows and jig raps! Good news the boat still runs good at trolling speeds! Three and a half hours of slow fishing here was enough for me and the crazy’s with the noisy power boats and jet ski’s nuts are starting to overload the boat ramp, time to take my punches and go home! Checked for fall mushrooms on my way home at one spot - none yet!

Catfish, Bluegill, and Crappie at Wildwood

8/22/2020

0 Comments

 
Warm morning for fishing at Wildwood. Winds were light from the southwest - I like some chop on the water.  Picked up a handful of Bluegill and a fair Crappie on 1/16 oz. jigs and leeches and Canadian night crawlers. Highlight was 2 big C. Catfish (10-12# range) on the light line and ultralight rods, fun to catch!  REGULATION: Total catch and release on the catfish at Wildwood. Saying this to those that don’t read the signs or look at the fishing regulations and are keeping them. The reason they get that big in Wildwood is because of the good folks that abide by the regulation - enough said!

Bass Fishing was HOT at Wanahoo!!

Plump 18” bucketmouth caught at Lake Wanahoo. The bass bite was hot!!
The bass fishing was hot!  Really hot catching 20+ bucketmouth on the edge of these drop-offs using the ultralight rods and light line jigs with leeches and crawlers.  Picked up a number of fair Bluegill up to 8.5” (Catch and Release, read my thoughts on this technique here), one 10” crappie, and a dreaded 16” carp, but fun to catch on light tackle. Best bass fishing (12”-18” fish) for the year at Wanahoo!
