Brown's Lake - July 11, 2020
Eleven adventurous members fished the club’s first outing on Brown’s Lake in Burlington, WI this morning. The weather was beautiful and the fish were biting, so it was a fun outing. The lake was crowded with fishing boats early. Brown’s is a no wake lake until 10 am. After that, the powerboats came out and it got pretty choppy out there.
33 largemouth bass were caught that scored on the club’s points system. The largest was a 17.5-incher landed by Al Silcroft. Most of the bass were caught on plastics—nail worms, drop shots, and tube jigs. Many northern pike were also caught, but none reached the minimum 24” necessary to score points. Jeff Haug was dialed into the small northern and caught at least a dozen of them.
Our next outing is July 25 on Lake Geneva.
