Newton 11/15

Anyone? Thank you

You should remember that this lake it heated in the winter time by the power plants hot water discharges.

This is not a normal Midwestern lake in winter time. It's a hot water lake so the bass will act like it's warm all year long.

I don't know a lot about this size or depth of this lake but it's my understanding that it's a thermal regulation lake for a power plant.

That's why you don't see the bass schooling in the deepest water in winter time like they will in a normal cold water lake here in the Midwest.

They are never deep until summer. Always 8' or less. Right now all the grass is out of the water. It's at least 4' low.

Hello everone, I will be going to Lake Newton soon. I know I should bring jigs, cranks, and lipless cranks How about the brand, depth, and color I should use for this body of water? Any other tips for this lake? Thank you

well how did you do? going to try and get there sometime in dec

I didn't go yet. I will probably go in the next couple of days. Probably show up with topwater, spinnerbaits, cranks, and buzz baits.

psvec, Not trying to start an argument but I hope they don't make any changes. As it is a 25 hp is plenty fast enough and if they open it up there WILL be someone running full tilt boogie. As a deep water fisherman sometimes it gets tough now with the wake from a 25hp I can't imagine a guy with a 225 saying I'M IDLING yeah he may be by his standard ,with a 3' wake behind him..I own a 18' Stratos as well as a 15' Duracraft with a 20hp just for Newton sure additional expense but as I fish it a lot I feel its worth it. The guy that maybe does not feels its unfair to not be able to run his big engine fishes it maybe once or twice a year I understand but I still feel Newton is a jewell as it is I feel it would be a real shame to to make any changes at all. The old addage give em an inch and they will take a mile would probably apply.
