Title: Bumping Lake
Post by: castie2504 on June 12, 2023, 12:06:41 PM: Anyone ever fish Bumping Lake? I’m taking my boys 2, 4, 8, camping up there. I’m bringing my boat along. Any tip, tricks, or info is appreciated.

I like it up there when the weather cooperates. I usually troll up the East or south side towards the river inlet

You really need to target them with the right gear at the right depths to do well but once you get it figured out it’s very successful fun fishery.
