i taught myself how to bass fish on this little lake when i turned 16 a few years ago . the lake has a decent bass population and produces pretty good in the spring, but gets pretty choked up during the summer. good lake to get away from the waterskiers.
stu, ive never had any problems just idling around. i guess homeowners are allowed to waterski but ive only seen them a time or two.

Thanks for the report. I tried to launch there a few years ago with my 2wd truck, and I don't know how I didn't get stuck; nonetheless, I didn't make it out on the water. I've herd this lake has some bass in it, and now hopefully i'll be able to make it out this weekend. Thanks Again

Nice fishin', Troy. I thought that lake had just a few bass in it. Never heard of any size to them until now.
I love that little lake. My daughter caught her first ever fish (a bluegill) and her first trout there. I actually spent 10 minutes giving the trout fish CPR because she didn't want us to hurt it. It lived at least long enough to swim away...
Even with the new ramp, isn't there a 25 hp max on motors - or can you leave the big motor up and just troll?

Dang thats a good catch. I fished Lake Whitman once, quite a few years ago. I was in my float tube and got a 4lber on a berkley slug-go thrown up near the trees. Pretty cool lake.
