fishing planet chain pickerel emerald lake

In lakes harboring deep-water forage like rainbow smelt and alewives, some chain pickerel leave deep weedlines in summer to suspend in the depths near baitfish schools. Louisiana - Quanchkin also great for bass, crappie & pickerel. Regardless of lure or method, use a black 9-inch steel leader or strand of 30- or 40-pound-test monofilament to guard against bite-offs. Oregon - Falcon is great for trout & ok for bass

North Carolina - Neherrin is an inexpensive trip with good profit that's great for bass & crappie

If I wanted a change of scenery from those I rotated to a couple other spots

The smaller fish are more $ per lb/kg which is beneficial with a smaller net if you don't mind reeling more fish in to fill a net.įlorida bass at peak times can fill a large net in a couple hours with multiple rods in the water. With a rod holder you can reel in more weight with 2 - 3 bass, walleye or trout in less time than fighting to land one pike. I didn't target pike or muskie until level 40(ish), when you can reel in pike without much of a fight. Michigan is beautiful and great for targeting walleye (get much larger than New York), trout and bass. Depending on how big your net is (might require a couple day trip to be profitable) and if you have a rod holder I enjoy St Croix and Everglades a lot more.
