Results: Wednesday paddling: fishing Contance Lake

Post by **YakAttack** » Tue May 29, 2007 12:04 pm

I'm heading to Constance Lake again after work tomorrow (wednesday) to do some kayak fishing.

If any other paddlers want to join me, I'll be there between 5 and 5:30, launching from the end of Berry Side Road.

If anybody happens to be attacking a different body of water, I'm open to changing my plans to join you!

Hey Scott,

I was all set to go today but then realized I have a med. appointment this evening

Not sure the weather will cooperate today but if you get out, good luck! Any chance you can get out on the weekend?

I'm heading out tonight rain or shine, but not if lightening strikes!

Yup, I'm going out either saturday or sunday. Do you have a place in mind?

Is there a place to launch on berry sord road ? Are they all private property by the lake ? I always launch my canoe on the other side of the lake and pay $5 for parking in front of the resturant.

Yeah, let us know how you made out Scott - looks like the weather was OK after all.

Joco: you'll never, ever *really* finish rigging

I thought I was done last summer but I'm tweaking and adding stuff again this year! It never ends!

Yup, the weather held up great, infact the sun and blue sky made an appearance. The lake was a pane of glass by the end of the evening. I believe I was the only one on the lake as well.

I caught 4 hammer handles, and one (my first ever) crappy...never figured I'd catch crappy on a 4" jointed hard bait.

zick: I don't know if you'd call it a launch (at the end of Berry road), but it is a public access point for the lake (a sign says so!). You can launch your canoe there no problem. There is a small place for parking too.

Thanks for the info about public access. The crappie in the lake are aggressive. I was attacking them in the winter using traditional crappie lures (tubes , wax warms ) with no luck until I put on live minnows, man those fish are crazy, one even swallowed my 3 inch swedish-pimple with the minnow on it.

The hammer handle pike are fun to catch too. I can't wait to hit the lake after the thunder storm season

Good job, you're making the most of the season with that 'yak! Next you've gotta hook up a tripod on the front so you can take your own digital pictures!
