Fished the big lake with my father today. Fished with small rubber worms all day to take our tickets. Never used a bobber or any other lure, just the 2 inch little rubber worm! We did some selective harvesting, could have easily been done by 10:30 am. We took 3 Fish Ohios... 2 redears (9 3/4 &amp; 9 1/2) and 1 sunfish (9). 20 gills weighed in just under 10 pounds. I took 41 bass and my dad lost count and said he was close to 40 also. We tossed back around 140 gills together with over half being between 7 and 8 inches...13 over 8 inches and 1 over 9 inches...Awesome fishery...Have been going there for 11 years now, and its been 11 years of spoiled fishing there! <br> <br> Corey Miller<br> Reel Naughty<br> <br>

Way to go, you can't beat those lakes.....<img src="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" align="middle" border="0"><br>

Your right there! Just need another three weeks to pass by to get after 'em again. Nothing is better than a fryer full of slab bluegills...Another favorite lake of mine there is Lake Sue...have had really good success there...Use to do good on Lavere, but it seemed to die off about 5 years ago, but now it sounds like its on the rebound...have you fished Lavere in the last couple years???<br>

Yes Lavere is back up, hit it early this year and got 19 in 1 1/2 hours <img src="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" align="middle" border="0"><br>

THATS GOOD NEWS TO HEAR ABOUT LEVERE. ONLY BUMMER WITH THAT LAKE IS THE STEEP BOAT RAMP, BUT LOOK WHAT MESS WE GET OURSELVES INTO WHILE DUCK HUNTING, I GUESS WE CAN'T COMPLAIN THAT MUCH...<br>

Got another chance to hit up the big lake this past Saturday 7-9.&nbsp; We took 30 nice sized gills.&nbsp; Two biggest going 9 1/2 each.&nbsp; Small 2 inch plastic worms either white or dark purple tight on the bottom in 8-14 FOW worked best.&nbsp; The water was stained this time around.&nbsp; They said 3-4 weeks until they propose shut down for the summer season.&nbsp; They said 167 limits for the month of&nbsp; june just on the Big lake....<br>

I have only caught perch during the ice fishing season on the big lake.&nbsp; When I have caught em, they were between 10-13.5 inches, but skinny...Caught em on red Eurolarvea<br>
