Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

unpegged Slip sinker with Pit boss was hot on Saturday. 8a-1pm  30 plus fish day and was still catching em but my buddy had to get home.  sprinkles to light rain most of morning, air temp 58-63 degrees, water temp 75.  Winds of the N to NE 10+ MPH.  Went out not expecting to catch much due to conditions, boy was I wrong.  No monsters and biggest was just under 3 pounds, only a couple shortys all fish were feisty.  As long as we were in at least 7" or deeper with weeds we were catching them.  Also catch a few nice pike.

Is there a public launch on Murphy?

There is, but... its crappy.  It's a dirt launch, no dock, pretty shallow when backing boat in, and parking is limited as you have to park on the side of the road.  At times a 4 x 4 truck is needed.  there is also a culvert that you have to drive boat through which is a little tight for some boats but it is big enough for most.  I have a 15 foot procraft and do not usually have any issues at the launch.  This is my go to lake as it is about the closest one in the area and if ya ever want to hop in with me to check it out just let me know.

Nice report! Thanks!
