Wilgreen lake is on fire this year!!!

I guess I must really ****. I go out there in the morning, evening, or night and lucky to just catch a few let alone many keepers. Maybe some of you guys let me in on the secret. I am about to resort to dynamite.

Heck don't feel bad I have seen some good fisherman struggle on that lake!

The lake changes every year. Before shad were in the lake you could throw small cranks and 7 inch worms and catch 30 a day but few keepers. Now that the shad are in the lake and doing very well the fish have gotten herrington status girth on them and the bites are fewer but there are some hogs to be had in there. I have been there a couple times during the day this year and had little luck. Have not caught the first keeper. It was during spawn/post spawn. very tough anywhere. The past couple years it has started out slow, 1 keeper winning tourneys. Be patient, back off the bank and you can catch em. I am in Vegas now but plan on fishing all night Saturday at Wilgreen when I get back and I will post a report.

Can you guys throw me some pointers? This lake fishes nothing like it used to and its a real struggle for me to find decent fish. Are people fishing farther from the bank or up in the shallows? I have tried different baits but still not a lot of success. Seems like the only thing I can ever catch fish on is a power worm. Every now and then I get some on a crankbait. Many moons ago you could hit the backs of the creeks with a fluke or buzzbait and kill them but I haven't had much luck with either.
