I noticed most of the carp on the deeper edge of the weed line- between 15'-20'. They would make an occasional pass along that area and not stick to one spot too much. The crappie where all up high along the top of the weeds. They were something to stumble upon and shoot from the hip as soon as you saw one. The lake was not as easy to hunt as many others, probably due to the clear water, and the bass I saw in here were all on the small size, but is was a nice little spot that other divers have been talking about for years and I had never made it out to. Too bad it has zebra mussles in it like most of the other lakes around.
Nick, if your looking for a carp gun you might want to think pneumatic. I wasn't sure about mine at first, but the more I use it the more I seem to like it. With my 3-sling wood gun would stick a carp and, ususally, have it stay, but with the new Pneumo it went right through them every time- even from a distance! I know that they are more noisy, but when I'm on the bottom all I can hear is boat traffic- especially in Lake Geneva.rofl For pan fish a small Euro gun with a thin shaft works better because you destroy less meat when you hit them.
Those smaller lakes cool off pretty fast, but some of the bigger ones should be warmish for a while. I was ok in a 5mm, but after 6 hours in the water realized that I need to start packing some food with me- Gatorade alone doesn't cut it.
When the outlet clears out I'll post it and then everyone can really see what big carp look like.
