Reservation Number : 44201
Property Name : Northeast Lake
Reservation Date : 07/26/2025 PM -
Total Fish/Sizes : 11
Lures Used : Chatterbait, swim jig, squarebill, swimbait, lipless crank

My hand trolling motor fell apart after launching the boat. The shaft screw was missing and the motor wouldn't run. I didn't quit right away. I decided to use the paddle and anchor for a little while offshore. The water was stained and very very warm. The water level looked down about one foot. The fishing was super slow. I was super warm after paddling around,  lol. I left after catching 11 and culled 10. There's no more grass. I had remembered Northeast lake having grass. Am I wrong about the grass? On a good note, the property now has an automatic gate. Thank you owner and PWF.

Grass Carp were added about 5 years ago and cleared out the grass about 2 years ago. Grass is a double edged sword. Some grass is great for the fish. But too much grass is hard for the fisherman. Striking the right balance is very hard.

Steve, I hate to say it but Northeast was definitely better with grass. The quality and bites were not there the last couple of times I was there. Now I’m wondering how you would get the grass back with the carp already added.
