Misteltoe State Park is known as one of the finest bass fishing spots in the nation. The park has 10 fully equipped cottages on the lake, five of which are log cabins. The campground is situated on a peninsula, offering spectacular views of both sunset and sunrise over the open water.

This Saturday you can make butter by hand, the old fashioned way at Elijah Clark State Park. It’s magic! Stop by the Log Cabin Museum and get some hands on experience helping Vanice Cahoon make butter the way our ancestors did, and then enjoy tasting the delicious fruit of your labor.

Trolling for hybrids and stripers will be the way to go for months to come. Using umbrella rigs is probably the most productive to use. It isn’t as easy as trolling bucktails and large diving plugs, which also work well, but can be extremely productive. You have to vary speeds and lures to see what works best. Stay in water over twenty feet and carry a lure retriever to help keep your loss of lures to a minimum. Colors to use are chartreuse, yellow, and white on your umbrellas rigs. Lures should be white and red, blue and silver, or black, silver and white. There are a lot of lures out now that dive up to thirty feet deep. Herring fished deep will always work as well.

Locate the fish first on your depth finder. It’s a hunt and seek method. You can also look for fish as you troll. Look for deep brush piles for crappie. Bass will also get in those brush piles. You can also fish at the end of long points and humps for bass. Catfish are biting real good at night on liver and cut herring.

Remember, with 1200 miles of shoreline at the lake, catching fish is a lot like finding the perfect water front property to buy - you gotta know where to go.
