Reservation Number : 31936
Property Name : Lakota Lake
Reservation Date : 05/02/2022 All Day -
Total Fish/Sizes : 31 total, largest 4.5 lb, most 1-2 lbs, all returned to lake, few bluegill too
Lures Used : topwater, wacky, TX Rig, crank baits, Rattlin Rogue, spinner

It was a good day fishing May 2, but the wind again made holding the boat tough.  Have you read that before?

Two of us fished 7 am til 3 pm with a quick lunch break at noon.

Great location and beautiful place for a  good looking fishing lake.  We caught 80% of the bass on the visible brush piles in 6-10 ft of water, and the rest were around the banks near the island.  The Rattlin Rogue was the ‘hot” lure on a straight chunk and retrieve.   No topwater bite early and the worms (wacky and Tx rig) were somewhat mixed in results.  The largest fish was on the TX rig off a point.

The bluegills hit everything.  I bet a bucket of crickets would get you some nice ones.

Question? Did you have any issue with the lock? Last two times I went to Lakota, the club lock would nop open. Had to call and get combo for owner to get in. Was lock ok? Going soon myself.

Hi Dale, we have had quite a few reservations this year and everyone has been able to get in using the club lock.  Hopefully it works well for you too when you go back but definitely call us and we’ll get you in if not.

Thanks Scott, my last time I shot a bunch of oil in the lock hoping it would help. I am sure it is fine, just checking to be sure. Cole took care of me getting in last time. Thanks for reply. Glad more are using this awesome lake. It is a treasure.
