Anybody hit Carroll County Lake today for the opener?

Thought it was to remain closed?

 

[RUGER]

Buddy of mine went today
He said he stayed about an hour
45 trailers in the parking lot when he left

45 trailers in the parking lot when he left

Wow, elbow to elbow.
That lake is so small it really should just be referred to as a nice "pond".

Wow that's crazy. I wouldn't have wanted no part of that

Saw where they stocked walleye in there. Limit of 5 with 16 inch length. Pretty cool, might have to venture over there sometime to try that.

Yeah I live about a mile from there it was crazy live here all my life never seen so much action on that lake think I'll wait till the new wears off to fish it

I decided to give it a try this morning just to see what it was like. The good news is that you don't need a boat, just walk across them until you get where you want to fish. The bad news is that you don't need a boat, just walk across them until you get to where you want to fish.... Seriously, I got there at 0515 and was third in line and by the time the first guy finally got backed in, the line looked to be out to the highway. I caught a few bass on topwater and found a big bluegill bed that was stacked. I kept every other one until I had all I wanted to clean then caught another 50-75 after that. Was gone by 10:00. Madhouse around the ramp would be the best description I can come up with.

 

[WTM]

how big where the bluegill?

 

[Cardinalskyhawk]

The bluegill were good ones, I caught some small ones but for the most part they were bigger than your hand size. The game warden said he saw a couple of 5 lb bass caught also.

 

[RUGER]

Maybe they won't fish it out before they lose interest.

One thing I noticed was there is no creel limit or size restriction on crappie.
Found that interesting.

probably wanting to keep the crappie out of there. with the stocking theyve done looks like a bass lake, which all good bass lakes are the best bluegill lakes usually.

 

[Cardinalskyhawk]

No interest lost yet, we stopped in there again on a week day and it was still loaded with people. Fishing was slow but it's probably due to the cold fronts lately.
