  • The lake has been draining for 9 months now and has gotten very low. The old creek channels remain and there are a lot of fish trapped within them so today we are launching the kayak to see what we can catch out of the old creeks within the lake! Follow along to see how it all goes down! We hope you enjoy this episode, if so, hit the LIKE button and SUBSCRIBE for so much more! Thanks and we will see you on the next one!

    If the bass is trapped. Then the crappie and panfish are trapped.
    A good panfish video in the making. Panfish trapped, rescue and fry lol

    I remember back in the early or mid 70's the state of Illinois flooded the Kaskaskia river near my father's hometown of Patoka Il to form lake Carlisle ......well the lake cut across my uncle farm, they flooded it and yrs later it drained dramatically like over night, and my uncle's old farm was exposed and there were hundreds of shallow pools full of catfish, bass and other fish
    My dad and many cousins used pitch forks and loaded up the back of pick up trucks
    They drank a lot of beer that night and cleaned fish all night

    I've been watching your channel for 2 years now and the things you can do where you live like yo yo fishing or if you catch a fish not hooked in the mouth you can't keep it even if it will die being folly hooked you still have to throw it back in if it dies.I would say 50% of the lakes in Wisconsin are spring fed and most lakes in order to keep a muskie it's at least got to be 50 inches long and the majority of the lakes are 54 inches long which means you can actually have the head on one side of your boat and a tail on the other side of your boat and I'm 61 years old and have never caught a muskie long enough to be a keeper although I mainly fish for bluegills perch and walleye. I really enjoy your channel and actually used to be a member but I would ask you guys questions and you wouldn't answer but it was during a time you just found out they were draining your leak and I can understand that.Its my opinion which ya know what they about opinions but you 2 have the best fishing utube channel there is and I believe it all has to do with your true dedication to what you love and live so God bless and sharp hooks.

    Have you ever tried the XPS Tail Spin lure from Bass Pro? It's a multi-species bait and I usually use it for targeting crappie but it will catch bass and stripe with ease. I usually go with the 1/4oz or 1/2oz (terrified of the 3/4oz since it's a sinking lure). I do however change out the treble hooks that come on them with a #6 treble hook. The spinner can become a problem at times because of the way they're manufactured by paint restricting the barrel swivel to turn freely...but can be easily fixed by removing excess paint from around the swivel section.

    If it were my lake property, I'd find out how much of the drained property was mine to use (a lot of time surveys will say "to water's edge"), research the regulations, devise a 10-year makeover plan, and attempt to excavate out my area to make a prime fishing habitat when the lake comes back. All that "muck" is fantastic gardening material. It would just be a missed once in a lifetime opportunity not to attempt to remake the place better than before it was drained.
