Dutch Posted May 3 Posted May 3 My neighbor and I went there today because of the mud at Cape. The lot was mostly full when we got there which is unusual. But there are 2 derbies there tomorrow and I think many were pre fishing. We saw a lot of boats in a lot of places several were walleye fishing. The water was a lot clearer than I expected it to be. The temp ranged from 65-69°. We tried spinner baits, jigs, swim baits and shaky. None of them produced. Ned was the ticket with Yoga Pants leading the way. We caught 39 bass and one keeper walleye. 12 of the bass were keepers with 2 over 4#. All in all I am glad that I went north today. snagged in outlet 3, GRANDPA TATER, Skeeter ZX190 and 6 others 9
curtisce Posted May 8 Posted May 8 @DutchGood job, where is Hartley I heard of it before on the forum butit's not one of the corp ramps that i recognize. The answer may not lie at the bottom of a glass, but you should always check
Dutch Posted May 8 Author Posted May 8 It isn’t a corp ramp. It is a DNR ramp in Hartley Branch. It is where the state park marina was located before the tornado. It is just south and east of the 215 (mile long) bridge. It is an easy boat ride to any part of the Big Sac arm just like State Park is for the Little Sac. We plan to go back Friday and see if they are still around. With the lake continuing to rise, I expect many of them to be in the bushes.

MOPanfisher Posted May 11 Posted May 11 Growing up Bona was all I ever knew it as. Always stopped at Tom's in the "town" of Bono buy minners. He sold minners. Heap and guaranteed the count. If you bought 3 dozen you usually got at least 6 dozen. But if you had to buy a dipper net ir heaven forbid a minnow bucket he would laugh and say "I got ya this time" candy bars were $1 each back in the 70s. But he also said if you rant out of minnows and didn't have a mess of fish for supper to come back and he would give ya more. Quillback, GRANDPA TATER and Daryk Campbell Sr 3
Dutch Posted May 11 Author Posted May 11 Is that the old store that is falling in on itself? I used to stop there but never knew his name.
