My Grandparents recently moved into a new house in Plainfield, IL into a neighborhood called "The Lakelands". I have been fishing there lately and discovered it has to be one of the best lakes in IL. Ive caught Bass, Northern Pike, and Walleye.
I have even used small bluegill for bait and thats how I landed 2 pike and a 5lb largemouth in 2 hours. Its a electric motor only lake and trolling off of my grandpa's pontoon has landed some serious fish:
Many bass over 3lbs
6 Northern Pike over 30" including a 38" & 40" (Huge girth)
3 Walleye 20-24"
Everything is catch and release so this should be a hot spot for years to come. The Spring showed much more action since there was less baitfish around. Any tips on how speed up the action in the dog days of summer?
When I first started fishing I was in shock as I had never heard anything about this lake. I was wondering if anyone else has tried this lake as it is a relatively new neighborhood.
