  Ron and Tony slay the bass using nightcrawlers.    It's striper time! All caught in the Spring Lake channel by the bridge.    Nice stringer of catfish and bluegill for this young angler and her dad.

    

Latasha and Serena proudly hold their catfish!    Bruce with a cooler full of stripers from the Spring Lake channel.   Brittany with one of many stripers caught by the bridge.    These young anglers were reeling in the stripers as fast as they could yesterday.    Two whopper catfish caught this week in Spring Lake channel on nightcrawlers.

        

  The bass were trembling when these anglers showed up!     Nicole shows her Dad, Uncle Joe and Grandpa Bill how to catch the big walleye!     Nice stringer of crappies, largemouth bass and walleye from the Spring Lake Channels.    Bill with a half cooler full of fat bluegills and crappies.    Gerry  with a huge Walleye caught on a nightcrawler.
