any one out chasing crappies out here yet??

We went there for opener we did pick up a couple but that was walleye fshing. I say a few people fishing for them around the islands.

don't lie Ace...we slaughtered that on Saturday, especially trolling in front of the fishing pier....unbelievable is the only way to describe it

Don't give our hot spot away. You guys crack me up forgot about the [Poor use of Words] to the bully. It took me 2 hours to clean all that fish. We need to make a trip to the land of the lost gill nets in early June maybe the 1 or the 8 both are sundays.

how did you do as far as walleyes are concerned? Odowds can be a pretty finneky lake when it comes to walleyes...

we never seem to catch them when targetting them but always by accident.

It was very slow, I got a couple of small 12-13" walleyes in the early morning around 3am but after that it was the dead sea. I was really surprised I had a very good fall out there I was hoping it would carry over to the spring but not so far. Odowds is a stocked lake with very little natural reproduction in it so it does not take long to take the lake down a notch. IDK There are plenty of pike in there but they were not biting either. If walleyes are what you are after I would try a different lake until the walleyes come back. They stock it every year with quite a few fingerlings and adult fish.

You aint kidding...I live in shako and have tried that lake for walleyes more than I care to admit. My uncle swears up and down there are still trophies swimming in there but thats hard to believe when I havent seen a decent one come out of there in the 5 years I've lived here.

Biggest one I have seen was a 22" and I caught that out of thole, throwing spinner jigs for pike.

Not my first choice for walleyes either,I have cought a few trollin before dark in 12-15' of water with a few northerns mixed in

I saw a 30" come out of there a few years ago.

Theres some real pigs in there walleyes and pike. I got a 38" off the pier last fall and saw a few walleyes over the 5lbs range. My PB out of there is 26" and 7lbs I got last fall. I'll try a few more times for walleyes and then wait till fall but pike fishing is pretty soild all year long. Don't forget the BASS theres some monsters out there, saw a 7+lbs caught last fall. Awesome bass lake

my cousin lives near the lake and fishes it a lot. From his reports there are a lot of big pike in the lake and he hooked into a monster seven pound smallie (i would probably say about five or six from the picture) but still a nice catch. He hasnt mentioned anything about the crappies yet

Yep...the bass are huge and plentiful. Witnessed my bud pull in a 7 pounder last summer with a worm and a bobber. But who wants to fish for them...if I catch a bass I throw it on the shore as it's illegal to release em. just kidding

Hey Geppy, pretty sure what he caught was a large mouth...there arent any smallies in ODowd.

You never know I got a nice smallmouth out of Prior a few years back.

i spose...you never know.

I saw a legit 30" eye come out of there a few years back. Lot's of large pike as well.
