I haven't been able to read the entire article yet, Chuck, but it looks very interesting. It's funny, after I posted my rankings for crankbait lakes, I thought to myself, "Hey - one of my best days on Silver Lake was with a Rat-L-Trap." And that was before the grass carp! I had to pull off weeds almost every cast, but on clean casts I would usually catch a fish.

And, for Larry Gonczy's memory, I remember him throwing crankbaits religiously during our April tournaments, all up and down the Muskrat Point area. He usually won them or was close to winning.

Acreage corrected - 2,996 acres according to WashingtonLakes.comc

As to "sneaky, tight lipped character" - as long as you have been in the club, I should have known you were holding out on us!  

If I WERE to write about WBC and the people in it, they would force me to list it under "Fishing fiction" or put it right next to "Bigfoot" and the "UFO's" section of the book store.  No one would believe what goes on in this club!  And you, Mr Government Official, would get a whole chapter just to yourself!  

"sneaky, tight-lipped character...?"  As a g'ment employee, that is the kindest, warmest thing I have heard in months .  GREAT job, Rev, your writing skills are engaging and informative.   I finished reading wanting more from you.  When are you going to write a book about your life history with WBC?  I am sure it would be a terriffic read.

That is one awesome article.  Way to go Chuck !  One thing, check the your acreage on silver lake, you have it written as 180 

Good question!  But now it's too late...  

I was asking because I was doing an article on re-evaluating those lakes that the majority of locals have deemed "not a crankbait lake".  

John Sewell who lives on Silver Lake is one of the few anglers who fishes it regularly with crankbaits and does very well.  VERY WELL!  

After you read the article you can see why he does so well.  It's not a definitive piece on Silver Lake - but as one or two of you have quietly discovered on your own (you sly dogs) that cranks can be dynamite on shallow basin lakes when you buck local assumptions.  

Thanks for the input!

1. Banks
2. Washington
3. Silver
4. Potholes / Moses ??? have not used crankbaits on these lakes

Bob can attest to why I put Potholes as my number one crankbait lake. I have caught more 5 + 6 lb smallies and largies up to 7 lbs in this lake on shallow diving cranks than I can count.
