it was slow there yesterday to. Me and a buddy setup in south bay from like 6:00 to 1:00 with three flags that produced a 24" or so pike for me and my buddy got a huge pearch that took a pike shiner! and had another shiner sticking out its gut already. Not to mention it was about to burst full of eggs. Fat pearch.
It looked slow for everyone else also that we could tell. Is there public access to the north part of the lake?

Also Folly Point, it's W.M.F. land, you can park and fish, but they don't plow it. The Litchfield town beach it strewn with no trespassing signs, so park at your own risk. Litchfield cops aren't friendly.

I've fished Folly and on the south end off Camp Columbia prop., only gotten anything off the point. Check the ice though, Bantam gets punchy this time of year.
