Title: Tell me about Banks Lake...
Post by: C-Money on July 14, 2015, 05:24:32 PM: My nephew, my son and I are planning a trip to either Brewster or Banks Lake this weekend. I have fished Brewster quite a bit, and have a good supply of sockeye, and would love more, but am not looking forward to weekend crowds up there. So, I am looking at Banks Lake, to get the boys on some good action. I plan on launching at the State Park. Is trolling Devils Punch Bowl productive for walleye? Is the west side of Steam Boat Rock better? I kind of plan to find 12 to 20 feet of water and start trolling. Please shoot me a PM if anyone is willing to give advice. Thanks!

Fishing was good, boat limited by 0930 with 15-16" walleye. Caught quite a few smaller ones that were turned loose. Got home, cleaned fish, took care of the boat and gear, then went into Papas for a feast of hot wings. ( Papas has outstanding Buffalo NY style hot wings) Was a great day.
