* I mean by the ramp btw for launching a boat I know there's others people fish off of by the damn. Also if not is the bait shop open / can you launch there I never have before.
not sure about the main dock yet but the bait shop is a little snug if you have a descent size boat. I’d say 16’or bigger and pretty shallow I thought.
Thanks I will. I'll be bass fishing I got an aluminum boat 17'8. I'm going to to main chain of lakes on Friday might just go down there and check it out for next week. Wish there was some sand there like at new state park to beach it.
My dad and I were there 2 weekends ago, didnt catch any bass but conditions werent exactly great.
One thing you could do since the dock isnt in is back your boat off the trailer, then maneuver it over to the shore immediately to the right if you are on the water facing the parking lot, then beach your boat there, then pull your trailer out.
That's what I did to pick up my dad once he pulled the trailer out after I was on the water.
Previous years around this time we have done really well for crappie on Long Lake, and we have launched from both the actual boat ramp and by the bait store, although I would ask for permission if you want to launch from the bait store because I think that is a private ramp.
We launched a 16 foot flat bottom aluminum bass tracker from the bait store ramp no problem.
I was one of those trailers. Looking for the crappie bite to pick up but couldn’t find any. Got a couple nice red ears though. Anyone that fishes that lake for gills knows how good they can be. Talked to a couple guys fishing the channel behind kawanis and no crappie yet even back there. Water started out at 53 at 7:30 and was 60 by 2:30 when we got off. Shouldn’t be too much longer.
Not sure if I'll bother going out there with this weather...typical for my vacation week. Going to hit either north or nimi tomorrow and hopefully get out Sunday and Monday before I go back to work. Thanks for the update.
Anybody bass fish long so far this spring I would guess with the recent high waters it wouldn't be the greatest because of flow in and out of there and cold temps wont help lipless bite
Fished it friday afterwork 3 bites in about 4 hours it was toughhh. Lost 1 dink on a jerk bait had one bump a crank and one drop a jig as quick as it picked it up

I know of someone that caught a 16" crappie at Long 2 weeks ago when it warmed up for a couple days. I did really well on the redears there last year. I'll be out somewhere this Sunday!
Same as portage it can just get frustrating picking crap off a lot of the time. Depends on time of year too in the summer it just gets worse unless your frogging.
Ending up just going to portage, only fish I had today broke me off halfway to boat. Only one other guy I talked to caught a fish today
