Hey,
Not an active member of bass club, but Mike Weber's office mate (gotta count for something, ha ha).
Actually, just looking to be a leech here. Buddy and I going to Evergreen this week to fish for bass (primarily), maybe other spp. too. Anyone willing to lend any experience-based advice on this time of year on Evergreen for catching bass: locations, depths/structures, and/or lures or techniques? Only second time on this lake and first during summer. Any tips would be appreciated to help make it an efficient day...our time frame is 3 PM till post-dark.
Thanks

oh yeah, if you don't mind, sending me an email to cwagner@uiuc.edu would be great if you have some tips to share...I may have trouble getting back to check this page today or tomorrow.
Thanks in advance!

Curt, stay true to your study species! When did you decide to fish for baitfish?
Seriously, though, try pitching plastics into the wood structure around the northern shoreline. You could also try deep-cranking points around the campground all the way north to the points near the dam, as well as the dam face itself, and the drop-off around "The Flat." I would try both shallow and deep to find the fish (if I were fishing for, you know, "those things"). If you've got a partner, you might have him throw a Carolina Rig some of the time in tandem with a crankbait. The pump station can be productive, make sure you fish the reeds on the north side as well as the rip rap on the south side of it (you might also run into those d**n toothy critters, too).
I'm not as familiar with the southern portion of the lake. I usually launch at the White Oak boat ramp across from "The Flats."
Good luck!

P.S. How's Mingo?

Curt and I will be stocking musky from KY into mingo on Wednesday. Yay for toothy critters!
I've fished evergreen a couple times. Sean is right on. The cove by the campground has a couple boat docks and some nice riprap and fallen trees. It's worth a try.
