anybody fished Monroe lately

[indyfisher]

for bass? I thinking about heading down there this weekend. Just wondering if anybody has had any luck. Any Info would be much appreciated.

No, but I did fish it a lot this year. The water is going to be up with all of the rain this week, and my prediction is the slowside will be chocolate milk. The main lake should/could be pretty good. The water is cooling off really fast and the fish should be moving towards the shallows/pockets/creeks. If I was going I would fish main lake points, then secondary points, then start fishing any flooded brush/grass/trees that is near the back 1/3 of the coves. You might try to move quickly...fishing lipless cranks, topwater, medium cranks...and just cover water until you see what mood they're in. If all else fails, go down to the dam end and throw shaky-heads at laydowns on rocky banks.

No haven't fished it a month at least. Ive mainly been fishing geist and morse ( not my favorite lakes to fish but convenient, and they do have a good num of bass) I'm going to Ken lake this weekend for a few days, so i should have something good when i get back....

Thanks for the advice guys.. I hit Monroe yesterday. BRRRR Cold! Ended up catching 5- short fish, 2- keepers, & 1- 6-7 lb Walleye! I caught most of my fish in the back of moores, I was hoping they would be chasing bait, but I didn't see any bait all day. Not a good day, but enough bites to keep me interested.

Thats Monroe for you! What were the water temps?

I couldn't get the water temps, my locater has been blowing fuses, I don't know what is going on.
