Update,

Fishing from shore at a public ramp only produced bluegills on Sunday but I picked up plates and registered the boat today. I'm hitting a different lake 5 to 8 minutes down the road tomorrow evening called Sparta Lake. According to the following surveys it seems to have a good population of pumpkinseeds. Population percentage was consistent with two surveys that were 22 years apart. It's only 31 acres so I can fish it pretty hard and find them if they are there. (See Sparta Lake below). It also has an inlet and outlet connected to a local river drainage so that's a plus for pumpkinseeds. Air temps are shooting up into the low 80's now consistently so I'm hoping bedding will commence. I just hope someone hasn't already raped the beds as we have no limit on bluegill and pumpkinseeds in my state. Many anglers don't know when to stop.




If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
