Kresson Lake April 1st 5-645pm Fishing Report

Went to a hidden lake on rt.561-the back trail had no tresspassing signs and 2 huge security cameras....so i drove to kresson lake about 4 miles away. Caught a big pikerel by rt.73, then no bites. There are woods alongside the lake, so i went deep woods to get to the far end of the lake. I trudged through thickets and stickers and when it got real bad, went towards the lake. Found 1 spot that i had maybe a foot of space around to cast out. A few fish charged the lure, but no hook ups. I moved 15 feet to another spot-with about 2 feet of space. I had barely enough room to cast out-had to throw the line over some small limbs to get the lure 25-30 feet across small channel. BAMMMMM! Found the hackpot zone- i could see the boils and then the wakes charging my lure. Caught 3 2pd bass and 6 pikerels in about 35 minutes....i will upload the pictures later-i definitely will not be able to get to this spot unril next spring. It will have summer weeds and be loaded with ticks...but today will be remembered forever!
