Fished E-lake on Saturday(5/19). I had never fished it before so my daughter and I drove up and gave it a try from about 10:30-3:00. I caught two and she caught five. She was pretty pleased she out fished me.
We caught one on worms and the rest on fresh minnows. Used Corkies to keep the bait up 18-24 inches off the bottom. I tried a gold Jakes on my second pole, but didn't catch any. Saw some people fishing Huntington on the way out, but we didn't stop.
Main reason for the trip was to catch some minnows. It's been years since I've used minnows. Wow, that lake is full of minnows! I threw one of my traps out a little far, got it caught in the rocks, and went in after it...that was refreshing! Ended up catching thirteen dozen minnows. Not as many as I had hoped, but now I have an excuse to go back for more!
Nice place,
Chester
