Anyone fish Hodenpyl for smallies?

meeting some friends up there tomorrow and i've never been there. Was looking for any kind of info or tips for the lake.
I'm not planning on fishing tournies there - its a bit far away - so if you can help out I promise i won't ever steal your check!

shoot me a pm if you like.
Thanks

looks like a change of plans - heading to green or duck instead....

shoulda stayed home!
couple nibbles (gills) on a dropshot and one knotted senko. High skies, high pressure, nw winds -- Rough day to be on such a clear lake. saw a few fish scattered on the flats, nothing shallow and no beds. water was a chilly 52*
found the warmest, darkest bottom and water was 55*

What lake did you fish, I was on Green this morning from 9:00 till noon. I did alright I was in a Triton on the north end of the lake.

we fished green - went out around 10.
we started on the big flat on the NW side... was in a pewter/tan avalanche. i saw 2 other bass boats... didn't get close enough to see what kind though... probably saw you though. have any luck?

I caught three in the 3 to 3 1/2 lb range then tried some new things. I found 4 fish on an inside turn in about 15 feet of water and spend some time watching them. I live about 15 minutes from green and plan on spending  most of my fishing time on it this year.
