Title: Mayfield Lake
Post by: OutHouse on April 08, 2022, 11:14:18 AM: Anybody ever hit up Mayfield for Tiger Muskies? Or have any close encounters with them fishing for other species? A friend and I want to give it a shot and were thinking to try later this month. We've caught them in Tapps and he's caught a bunch in Merwin but I haven't tried Mayfield. Thanks in advance.

Thanks! I take it I won't be able to see to the bottom like I can at Merwin. Its cool to see 10 foot wide stumps under 20 feet of water.

I rented a boat at the marina last summer and was repeatably buzzed by the boaters that cant resist interfering with your fishing experience.
Its a small body of water.
Common courtesy doesn't seem to exist on the waters anymore.
I am a Yankee and really miss Musky hunting.
