My annual fishing party will be Saturday, September 1st at my place. Check-in will close at 8 am. Once again this year I will be opening up Stafford Lake to all that want to fish it, but anglers can fish any lake they choose to in Kosciusko County. My place is a stone's throw from the Warsaw lakes and the Barbee Chain. Camping is available. If you are interested in attending and have any questions feel free to post them here or send me a pm.
Hey Rico, Do you go over to Dewart or Waubee much? I have had both good and bad luck at Dewart. Never fished Waubee. Just thought I'd ask.
Never fished Dewart that much, but used to hit Waubee alot 20+ years ago. One aspect of both lakes that goes unnoticed by most is that they both have walleye in them...not great numbers but they are there.Quote:

Rico when you have your bash ....Lets say the first of May I could attend. Maybe we could have a fish and...............mushrooms fry. Hell we could even go and get some fish and shrooms. Sounds alot better than fish and chips.:highfive

Here is a pic I took of the 34" gar on the water..........it would have been a state record.

what happened to it that made it inelegible?
No one gave any thought to a spotted gar being caught or even what the record was. The fish was not weighed and destroyed. There has to be a certified weight and the fish has to be available for inspection. On a side note, the state just started recognizing the different species of gar and the state record fish is the only one that has ever been submitted. Out-of-idea's fish measured 34". Here is a link to the current record holders fish...Quote:
