Any recent reports? Can't decide between maxi or trail creek this weekend.

Glad you asked about Maxi... I chose to fish Maxi today and if leaves were fish, I had a boat full. I am a troller for the most part and fished Max a week ago Sunday. I troll jigs/minnows in 8' to 12' of water with two rods and then cast a jerk bait either to the deeper or more shallow side. I fished today from 3 until 7:30 and caught one 17" smallie. With it now being dark at 5ish, I decided to cast a floating rapala after dark for a few hours, as this has the potential to produce but all I came home with, was very clean rapalas. Regardless, it was a beautiful few hours, outside, no mask, warm breeze, peace and quiet... Where ever you choose to go, you will have a great time... You are probably a much better fisherperson than me.

flip a coin.
now, do you really believe all the "reports" on the net? seem some are pretty inflated these days :rotflol: just today, I seen a guy saying he was catching 12" crappie that weighed 2.5#. must have been on a lead diet. lol I guess some people think others will believe anything. I say go fishing and find out. the search is half the fun. at least it used to be before panoptics turned everyone into a pro.
I definitely don't believe everything I read but I've been on here long enough to know who I can trust.

thanks for the report. Still haven't decided where to go. I do great at maxi through the ice so I know the quality of fish there. I just can't seem to put it together on open water.
