Some St. Mary’s Lake Fishing

Type: Nontidal
Region: Southern
Location: St. Mary's Lake

I took a few casts on St Mary’s Lake on 10/7. I got a late start and had little hope in catching much at mid day, but it’s Fall and things are changing. Dead grasses floating and stained water in some areas. I ended up catching 11 largemouth bass, four pickerel (biggest was 25.5”) and a small yellow perch. Catching most fish on a jerk bait, a few on a square billed crankbait, and two bass on a shaky head jig. Catching in stump fields, over dying grass and off points.
