Mem. Day Lake 37 report

[Haris122]

Went to Busch Monday afternoon, and struck out on lake 36 in the middle of the day. Then we fished 37 from shore while waiting for the storm clouds to pass through, and afterwards hit it again from a boat. Bottom line, 37 was actually quite good up close to shore (didn't fish deeper parts really). I got 7 or 8 fish, 2 from shore, the remainder from the boat. I got mainly Black Crappie in the 6-8" range, but I did also get a 10" White Crappie, and 2 or 3 Largemouth, one maybe 8" or 9", the other about 12". The crappie bit a 1/64 oz jig with blue white tube or part of a trout worm on it under slip float, maybe 18" down, a roostertail, and a shallow diving bomber crankbait. The bass bit on the same crankbait, a yellow beetle spin, and the same 1/64 oz jig with part of a plastic trout worm on it. Nothing big, but they certainly kept it entertaining.

I think 37 is the prettiest lake in BWL. Did you get stopped by the conservation check point?

No, didn't come across anything of the sort. Though I wouldn't mind seeing them do that. Monday was certainly the day for it, cause there was a lot of people at Busch. Almost guaranteed at least a few kept fish they weren't supposed to with those kinds of numbers. The only time I was almost checked, I was at 35 and the officer asked me how I did, I had caught a few decent bass, and she thought I kept them, she asked to see them, and when I told her I released them, she took my word for it. I did really release them of course, but I'm just surprised she didn't ask me to take a closer look just to be sure I wasn't lying.

Lake 37 is definitely one of the prettier ones. I don't know which lake I like the most, but lake 37 is probably among the finalists.
