Last week went to Cherryvale to fish Big Hill. Strange that this lake stays pretty much at normal levels. Elk River lake, just 20 miles west, is 12ft high. Have always been told that this lake has a bunch of small black crappies. Lots of standing trees,,, a 'dipping paradise',,, I thot. 1st day,,,fished trees. Did catch a 13in white and some smaller ones but very few blacks. 2nd day,,, loaded with bunches of minners, hit trees again with a less than expected bite. As we were coming into tree cove, graphed a school over a break. Put a way point on it to fish later. Came out to it about 11am with 3 keepers. Dropped k-riggs down into school. WOW!!! Caught fish endlessly till ran out of bait. Tried plastics with nibbs, but they wanted live bait. Had to search area bait stores for more minners. Ended up at Parsons. 3rd morning,,, right to same area,,,same school,,, same fantastic bite. There are a bunch of 6 to 8in fish but a LOT of 10in + also. 2 of clients went back Monday & Tuesday. OMG they were still there hungry as ever. Wear yourself out!!! Bring kids. Best Bite I've been on in years. <*)}}}><Name: shot 001.jpg Views: 1049 Size: 52.0 KBName: shot 002.jpg Views: 999 Size: 57.8 KByou can see fish being caught in second screen shot
