5/14/2009 3:13:00 PMVery cool.....I got to the water at 6:20pm last night and it started raining as I got my first cast off. By 6:30 the rain stopped but the wind was terrible. I actually ended up skunked by dark. I have been getting a few over the past couple weeks. Mostly smallmouth but an ocassional Largemouth. I have been tossing big crank baits hoping to find a pike but to no avail. I dont really think there is a strong pike population in Long Lake. Thanks for feeding the coyotes and racoons....lots of laughs. Hey, have you seen the family of river otters on the lake? Very fun to watch! Anybody catch any crappie out of Long lately...where are they?

5/15/2009 6:14:00 AMI have not heard of any crappie being caught yet. I didn't find any significant weed growth and when I find Long Lake crappies, they are usually in the weeds or trees. I targeted only bass on this trip as I have seen photos of a smally over 6lbs that came from the tourney last weekend.
