Stump Lake (Overview) - Wednesday, August 24, 2011

 Back in the late 80's, I played some SB at stump but never fished it until now. I really took on some size. I had read a coulpe posts about the eyes and perch so me and a buddy decided to give it a try. Fished from about 4:30pm on Tuesday the 23rd. We stayed south on the north side of shore along the camp ground slipping and then a little cranking far east. 2 "E's" and 2 "P". Wed morn at 6am we put the boat in and did the same until that brutal NW wind run us off the water with a few eyes and perch. That afternoon we went back and started looking across to the south shore where some more trees are and slipped till dark. The wind went down and at about 6:30pm we started putting eyes and perch in the live well. I'd say we did some things out of the ordinary as far as presentation but overall most of the common things. 
The lake is deep with little shore line area so it's kinda hard to troll....... I'd say move often and fish verticle and bring plenty of jigs with wire hooks if you can find them. Nightcrawlers and minnows. Keep the bait low and moving with times of complete stillness. I thought the eye's were healthy but some were slim. 
Can't wait to fish other areas too.
