Pate Lake 2/19/14

Couldn't have asked for a prettier day. Fished from 7:30-4:30. We never really got on them until about 1 today...but man we dialed in on some slabs. We troll with 10 rods (6 out the back and 2 rods on each side up front) and there were quite a few times we had quadruple hook-ups! Action doesn't get much better than that. Had only caught 21 at 1pm, when we had them figured out we had 81 by 4:30pm. Not sure how many were keepers bc they are on ice to be cleaned tomorrow. I'd guess we kept 35 that were all over 10 inches. Big fish was 13 1/2 inches.

That's awesome, I know what you mean, those are the unforgettable days. I love having crappie flapping all around me and half my poles out of the water!

Man great report. I graduated from Holmes county high. We use to ski and tube there a lot. Never knew there were that many slabs in that lake. It use to be called Pate Pond.. Good report!

Nice report, It's always good when you can have 2 or more poles go off at the same time:ThumbsUp

Some call it Pate Pond and some call it Pate Lake. I'm from Holmes County as well. Graduated from Bethlehem. Small world brother.
