3/20/2010 7:44:00 AMHey Chris, I was just by the bog yesterday. Man it brought back some great childhood memories. I miss my old stomping grounds so it’s fun to drive through the area which I do very few times a year. You know, in all the times I've fished the bog, I don't believe I have ever caught a fish there. Odd that I just thought of that! Do they plant it these days? Anyway, always fun to read your reports from the area I grew up in. Thanks.

3/20/2010 7:48:00 AMNo, they don't plant it. I usually don't like to put 1 star reports in from a place like this, because it suggests that there are no fish in there. However I have a fellow walakes friend who has caught at least three good size carp using corn. When the water was warmer last summer I saw fish swirling around in the shallows. (Nice salmon you caught this past week!)

3/21/2010 10:52:00 AMThanks Chris. It was nice to see a 13 pound King in my boat. I think it's good that you file reports even if it's at the Bog and you didn't do any good. I filed a report following our 13 pound fish and it was a 1 star trip. I think those reports are just as valuable because it lets the reader know where they are biting and where they are not. Anyway, I wish they could plant a few trout n the bog but I am guessing they wouldn't do that with all the spiny ray fish in it.

3/21/2010 2:34:00 PMLike ckim85, I've caught Bluegill and bass (both about the same size) and an 8" catfish out of there. The bottom is so black, it is kind of a creepy little body of water to float. I think they should not allow flotation devices on the lake, stock it and make it a juvenile only lake (not enough of those around). The only issue would be policing it.

3/21/2010 9:41:00 PMChris, nice to see you're up in my neck of the woods. I've hit the bog twice in the last few weeks and have yet to get a bite. I've pulled about ten carp out of there now. Let's hit it in about a month.
