I will be fishing Lake Holcombe the last week in July with my family. I've never fished it before and was hoping to get any kind of information available. From what I've read, muskies would be a good choice, but I'll have 4 little kids with me so panfish would be a better bet. I'll fish for anything so species matters little. Any tips, hits, tactics or general areas that may produce fish would be appreciated. Also, are there any special regs that I need to be aware of? Best nearest bait shop? Really anything provided will be helpful. Thanks in advance.
Quote: The Holcombe Sports Shop is a good place. Also the Big Minnow. I would use minnows between 12-18 ft for the crappies.
WOW! That IS a big minnow!! There must be some HUGE crappies in Holcome!! I haven't seen any baitshops in WI that carry 12-18 foot long minnows.... Good luck importing them with the current VHS regulations...
OOOOH, you meant fishing for crappies using minnows in 12-18 FEET OF WATER... Oops...
