Blue Lake Fishing Report

[TubeDude]

[#0000FF]If you want a shot at some bass that aren't as "people-wise", wander down the outlet stream going out of the SE corner of the big pond. There are some deeper spots and undercut banks that hold some bass too. But their only food source seems to be small water beetles. So small dark jigs are sometimes better than more traditional bass lures.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I have done well on nice bluegills in the main lake but you have to be afloat and search them out. They have a few favorite hangouts. You are right about the tilapia taking over. They guard their own nests aggressively against the bluegills but are happy to raid the bluegill nests in return...and the tilapia are bigger and badder.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I haven't done any diving there but I understand the "Blue Lake carp" (divers) have introduced several species of aquarium fish...just because they thought it would be nice to see them while diving.

[#0000FF]A word of caution. Never go there by yourself and leave your vehicle unattended while you go out on the main lake. Lots of car vandalism when there is no one remaining in the parking area to prevent it.[/#0000FF]
