I am not sure on the name.  Whomever told me about it called it Baldwin City Lake so that is what I know it by, but your description sounds about right.  It also seems to kind of be someone's yard.

Maybe I'll give it a shot. I wanted to try Hillsdale anywho so its kind of over there I suppose. Thanks for the info.

I fished the Dale Monday for Walleye but ended up with 6 bass biggest being 3 pounds and 2 short Walleye, lipless crankbait.

Anyone been on Perry lately?  Fished it on 4/20 and couldn't get a bite anywhere...  Not sure if the weather put them in a funk or what...

Nope but Bassmasters put it in the top 100 again, maybe thats it

yeah i was supose to have a tourny there last sunday the 21 and thanks for the report cus i almost fished it and no perry can be a good lake just not this time of year give it a couple weeks and try again or maybe a month and it will be good.

sorry correction its good this time of year but not with weather like this lol

Now way it should have been there either. It's a good lake, but not in the top 100 in the country. It would actually have been rated the best bass lake in the state according to how they did it. I'd take Milford over Perry any day for the best bigger bass lake in the state. I've never fished Sebilius but Wilson shouldn't have been on that list either.

Off the dam? Hoping to give it a shot Friday if I have time. Have to help basshunter get his trolling motor mounted on his boat and bearings repacked so he'll be ready for the tourny but should have plenty of time to get down there still for awhile at least.

Bank by the Gardner Rd Bridge parking area. I fished the dam for wally got two shorts and stopped on my way out to fish the trees

Going to Melvern tomorrow, got an empty back seat if anyone is interested. 

Peter backed out on me so ill go if you want?

We can take my boat if you want.

Lmk

great another awesome day or 2 then back to 30 degree days

Love Kansas weather!! At this rate, Spawn will be mid july!!!

There are bass in Hillsdale! Only took me 4 hours to catch it 

Trying to decide between goin back to melvern this weekend to learn a jerkbait, or going to nebo to hunt for some donkeys. 

Considering all the big fish that were caught on Saturday, Melvern would be my choice if I could go.

Yeah, I want to head out there, but only with someone who can teach the ways of the jerk. 

No better way to learn than to just do it. I taught myself how to do it last year at melvern, and at that time I really had no experience fishing jerkbaits.

Well that settles it I suppose. I guess I'll go back out (weather permitting) with a box of jerkbaits, a couple of rods, and nothing else. That'll make me learn. 

As of now I don't have anything going tomorrow.

Does anyone want to go to Melvern for a few hours in the morning? I'd need to leave by noon.

***Never mind, I have to take the kids to school***

well if really helps in the learning process if u go to a lake and catch fish but if i was trying to learn to jerk it id just go to bourbon just because u get a feel for the bait and u will catch fish like blue and i said at the get together and u arent stuck with jerks there either u can throw almost anything but melverns fun just tough if ur not jerkin it and ill go with u anytime u need a fishing partner. or take some to some local ponds to get a feel before u go to melvern

Went and did some birthday bassin tonight at Douglas State Lake. Figured if I had to go somewhere close I was pretty much stuck catching dinks so I might as well catch a bunch of dinks. We caught probably 40-50 in the hour and a half we were there with about 50/50 bass to crappie ratio on little cranks, jerkbaits, and jigs. As it was getting dark I started fishing a jig on a drop off along the dam because I was marking tons of fish and Nicole was still catching crappie about every cast off the dam. I thought maybe I'd get a giant 2 pounder   I caught a couple a little bit bigger but still nothing that I could have even stretched 14". Decided I might as well try to catch a couple dinks on a deep crank on that ledge. One of my first casts got stopped under the boat by what I assumed was a decent catfish. I was pretty shocked when this gal flashed by the boat.

21.5" and 5.48 pounds on the smaller size Luck E Strike Smoothie crankbait. Didn't know they made them that big out there 

I am going to go ahead and call that the Unofficial Lake Record?!?!?!

By far the largest I've ever heard of from out there. I talked to a guy that said he caught 2 5's out of there the same day but didn't have any pictures or proof of it. I was marking quite a few larger fish in 10-17 feet of water off the dam but I assumed the were cats or carp. Me and a couple buddies may be back out there Wednesday to see if maybe there are more that size hanging around in deeper water off the dam, maybe fish a 6XD or flutter spoon. The crappie are spawning on the dam and she looked like she'd eaten a couple of them so maybe a big swimbait too.
