Taking the ole trusty canoe out on Sunday to Pinchot Lake for the first time this year. Anyone having any luck on this lake? Did alright last year but I didnt really know the lake that well. So hope to change that this year thanks to a lake map.

From the lower launch, there is a small finger that comes out in, the one with the cement wall and bench on it. I've always done good right off the tip of that with suspending jerkbaits and jigs. Across the lake there is a cove that has some large boulders and a bit of wood cover on the upper side of it, right out at the edge of the main lake. When the wind blows it usually blows down the lake, that creates a surface current carrying baitfish and other food from the main lake right around the end of those rocks. The bank drops off into about 15 feet of water right there where the boulders are if I remember correctly. I have always done good right there with suspending jerkbaits and swimbaits. From the boulders, if you look directly across the cove to the other side where it meets the main lake, that bank drops off into 12 feet of water and there is a flat down there right where the cove meets the main channel. The flat is 12 feet deep, drops to 18 in the channel, within a distance of 8 feet, and again, suspending jerkbaits and swimbaits. The next cove down, the one with all the boulders in it, you'll notice there is a buoy just above that cove, it says something about duck hunting or fowl hunting I think, but right there you'll see a few big boulders on the main lake shoreline, from there eye up a line straight down to the shore on the other side of the cove, that's the drop, I've always done well there with senkos and flukes. That should get ya started. Send me a pm if you have any questions.

Thanks Ian. We managed to go out yesterday and there were alot of peole out fishing. We managed to boat a total of 2 both 15 inches not sure on weight as I didnt bring my full tackle. Both were caught on Senkos and was in the cove right outside the main beach area. Thanks for your tips will definatly keep them in mind when I go out this weekend.

I got it from HLSmaps.

OK! now Mystic > shoot me a away message or E-mail boatnik13@aol.com use the map code on the map so I know what phase it is and that you have a map. Works for anyone who has a hlsmap.

I'd be glad to assist in any fishing question on your map.
