i would fish the cove at the mountain bike area, you can go through the pipe at new galena boat ramp, also some bassin in that cove.

Agreed. I started there when I first got my yak and its a great place to explore. I would highly recommend staying off the main lake, as Sunday is Zoo day.

 

I would launch at Howard Road. You'll love the scenery and believe it or not, Alum can actually be a calm lake. It's all no wake up there north of 36/37 and there is a wonderful stumpy cove that I caught my first muskie in earlier this year - just south of the Howard launch. North under the bridge you find larger open expanses with more coves and 3-4 of water.

I don't kayak, but do most electric boating in this area so I love the solitude - only to be broken up by the sound of jumping fish on the end of my pole...

 

I've fished all around Howard road with my kayak. I've caught some small crappie, but nothing else. For a big lake it is surprisingly calm (no wake), just be aware of the idiots that will sometimes run straight through regardless. I've also been up near Kilbourne Rd. for a ways north and south. Some nice scenery but did not catch anything. I'm gonna try Kiser lake next, it's supposed to be a nice little lake.

 

just do us a favor. was there saturday fishing with my dad and we were casting towards shore and to 2 canoes come right between us and the shore. I so bad wanted to put a 3/4 oz rattle trap in them, but I didnt.
