jslaughter Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Headed to Cour D'alene for the 4th. I know the lake will be super busy but my uncle has a cabin on the St Joe and wants to do some bass fishing. We will be headed by boat into Chatcolet from the river and wanted to know if there is is some decent fishing around Heyburn State park or if we should head up into the chain of lakes farther up lake? I know the south end is mostly largies and pike but thats about my extent of knowledge on the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeth Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 well no one responded. How did you do? If I saw it I would have said stay main lake but that's just me. My avatar pic came out of the backwaters though so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We trolled around Chatcolet/Heyburn area for awhile. Caught a decent two pounder flipping a bush but that was abou it. I think it was took shallow for how hot it had been. We spent so much time buzzing around in the shallows (arrived at 5 am) fishing grass that we didnt get a chance to fish the old train bridge that leads into the main lake. Have to try again next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in sandpoint, if you ever fish Ponderey I would help out with gas if you have a boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
