Friday Night Road Trip #1 - Bartlett Lake

Halibut Warrior & I night fished Bartlett last night.  Covert ops to get in, Crappie fish, the get the heck out of dodge!! 

Anyway, got to an empty SB ramp around 4pm.  Couple ski boats & a few lake lice but from just before sundown to when we left at 3:30am we didn't see or hear a boat - seemed to have the whole upper end of the lake to ourselves.  Really nice night on the lake!

We fished up lake outside the mouths of a couple different coves with minnows catching 14 nice Crappie.  Bite went from 9pm to 12:30am & then shut down with NADA after that.

Nice catch Cousin. My buddy and I are going to go out tomorrow night has well. Got some health looking minnows from wild horse and ready to go. I'm also going to try and net some shad right before dark. I have been getting real good with cast net from going to pleasant this past week getting shad for fish x. Thx for report!!

We also had thoughts of scooping up shad around our lights but they were a no show for us last night.  I'll blame the moon or my forgetting my 2 florescent tube lights at home but did have a couple plan B's onboard.

We may give her a whirl tomorrow night

Good luck Steve!
