How's the bass fishing at monroe? any help would be appreciated.

Oh man do you have to ask? It's the middle of summer. Monroe is as tough as they come. Keeper will be far and few in between.

Monroe is tough right now. I went Thursday and caught about 11-12 bass.....only three keepers. Biggest was a 16 in. Spot on topwater....most came on finesse type stuff. Anyone catching them out on structure????

thanks for the info....would there be alot of weeds in this lake....never really fished it.

I have not found much if any weeds there this year. Two years of big spring floods are to thank for that! Water temps are still in the low 80's so some fish (small ones) have stayed shallow. If you see Stripers busting shad throw a topwater plug /liplesscrankbait at the school.....if you hook one hold on!!!

If you go on a cloudy/rainy day don't hesitate to troll for some eyes (Walleye). The first time that i went there this year we went after the eyes and had three hooked caught two. Not only did we catch 2 20"+ eyes but also a handful of smaller crappie and a 6 1/2 pound flathead. Just a thought.

shane what part of the lake do you catch the eyes? I have been up there 4 or 5 times this year trying to catch walleye and have not caught one.
