I've always done well with a Banjo Minnow in the crayfish color. Try it out and give us a report.

Hey wntrrn you using the pocketfisherman with those banjos? The pocketfisherman had it's place and time but I like staying current with technology. This setup is much easier to use and Roland endorses it. Awesome setup! http://www.asseenontv.com/prod-pages/rocketfishingrod.html

Years ago there was a kid who fished the lake from shore just using crankbaits. I saw him with a stringer full of fish one day and not a fish on the stringer was under 5 lbs. He always kept all of his fish though and several years later I saw him and he couldn't figure out why the fishing wasn't like it used to be. Duh.... It may be a little late in the year now. Best time is to hit them right when they're on their spawning beds and it's always a hit and miss window. There are some hogs in there for sure.

I live near Bitter and fish it when I need a quick fix. It is OK for bass. Largest I've caught there was about 4 lbs this spring will flyfishing a worm pattern. At this time of year, think early or late with topwaters in the pads and around the docks. Lots of little rock bass in there also. Haller Lake , which is nearby also has some bass in it.

Hey..regarding the carp fishing in greenlake, what pound test line should i use? it seems like i should be using a salmon pole rather than a trout pole. And do i just put the doughball on a hook and thats it. Or do i need a liter and a swivel and a wait? how is it set up? what size hook too? sorry for overwhelming you with questions. thanks for the help.

Pheen: Carp are very strong, and very spooky most of the time. It takes a good deal of finesse to consistently catch carp. You might try a Google on Carp fishing for some tips, or go to your library and look at back issues of In-Fisherman. They occassinally have articles on carp fishing. And BTW its a rod, not a pole. Try sites like this for more info. http://www.carpanglersgroup.com/carpingtips.html

Fish that can have a bass for dinner.
