Benji Kinman lake

Trolling motor only is my understanding. Outboard can be on the boat just not in use.

What's up RngerMac, Have you been out to Lake Benjy yet this year,if so tell me how you did and what was the water temp.

Went 2 weeks ago. Water was 48 early and up to 52 in the afternoon. Water color was stained with about a 6 to 8" visibility. Caught a 4.9 lber on the first spot we stopped on, it was caught on a tube. Fished 6 hours without another bite. We spoke to a few other fisherman and no one else had a bite. I guess we got lucky. Saw a few crappie fishermen dragging spider rigs and they were catching a few. I would suspect it would get better as the water clears up. Friday and Saturdays cool nights may effect the bite.

If you have not been this year KDFWR has put out buoys around the perimeter of the eagle nest across from the launch. Make sure you stay outside of the buoys. It says its a federal offence to harass a nesting bald eagle.

Good luck
Charlie
