Overlooked Bass At Busch Wildlife

[sitting fishing]

abuddy and I use to do extremely well bassing at the catfish lakes

I used to do pretty good for the extreme public water thatit is- at lake #16, on a white zoom super fluke- that was before my senko apprenticeship, I'm sure the senko would outperform the fluke now- a days.

I do pretty good at BWL. First photo was from today.

Nice fish, way better than anything I have ever caught at Busch. I always suspected 38 had some good bass.

Went out and fished Saturday, May 17 with 3 friends. Caught around 15 bass total. Nothin over 1 lb. Senkos and flukes were used. Fished lake 33 first thing. Only 1 fish. Caught most at 35 and a couple after lunch on 34. Lake 33 was muddy.

There are def some nice ones there. I had a good last two weeks with the crappie and stocked the freezer, so went out saturday with all my bass gear hoping to find some nice ones...my brother and I fished 35 from 530am-10 caught about 20-30 fish a piece..ALL DINKS....used to be that about 1 in 20 fish on 35 was a nice 4-5lb fish. I have yet to catch one over 15inches this year though. Maybe 35 is having a bad year or something....next week I may try 33 for some bigger bass...I rarely if ever fish that lake, but according to the MDC website, they surveyed like 60% of bass bigger than 15"

I fished 33 one time so far. Caught a couple in the 12-14" range, one in the 10" range, and one that was 16"+ that found a weakspot in my line. I plan on hit the 3x lakes a lot this spring/summer. Lots of shorts in lake #10 so far.

check out the MDC website if your looking for information on "big bass" lakes at Busch. From experience it is pretty accurate. I have fished every lake at Busch and I have got some nice fish, but the bigger ones are educated. Now days I take my fly rod mostly and have fun with the dinks all day long....catch some really nice Bluegill as well.

A few years back, I witnessed a nice lunker taken out of lake 3 or 4. While all of us were catfishing, this guy was casting topwater, and caught the fish.
