Its flooded over on google maps. It doesnt help that they labeled a cart path as a road either. The road to it last year was flooded forever. It was nice to walk out to it though because no one else would be around, but i never had much luck there (bass fishing) i have seen carp swimming in between the road and island though during the summer.Would appreciate the bait links. Thanks, and I'll have to stop by Merrifield Park and take a look around see if I can find the Sand Bar. The "Monkey Island" near the golf course still eludes me as far as googlemaps goes. I see no island. Thanks
Hey Jathan and T, Hawkeye here(couldn't use my normal internet handle since it was already taken), just made a profile on here and of course one of the first things I had to do was search "carp" good to see some sensible people amongst all the bowfishing nonsense on here
August 21st 2010 caught 4 carp over 20lbs in portage in lake michigan on pineapple corn on a hair rig then had a major heart attack and woke up in northwestern hospital in chicago 3 weeks later. best day carping!
Pike Lake is where the state record common carp was caught out of on rod and real. 42+pounds. There in there just have to get through all the small ones first. Theres going to be a couple get togethers up there this summer. I will have to get the dates and times on here.I have personally seen a man pull out a carp from pike lake that was over 25lbs. I have heard stories of 30-40lbers.
