WEST LAKE

#710897 - 09/29/08 08:38 AM

Anybody been on West Lake latley? Fished it for the first time last year and it was really low. I'd heard it was back up to normal now. Headed back the middle of next month to try it again. Found some nice bass last time wondered if anybody was fishing it and knew which end of the lake to start on?

We'll give it a shot this weekend. Sounds like the crappie improved. Its been a couple years sense we were there, the kids had a ball catching those but weren't any over about 6" from what I remember. Did catch a few nice bass that time too.

Was the lake full? Almost not enough to get the boat in when we were there last.

Not a bad weekend on the water. No crappie but had a 6, a 5, and a 3pounder bass fishing with plenty of little guys inbetween to keep things from getting boaring.
