We hit Badger on Sunday. The water clarity was excellent. Maybe too clear...we only managed 1 pike. I'd estimate it at 10-12 lbs.
We threw everything I had in the water and couldn't quite find the magic that day.
Still, we had a fantastic day...until the thunder, lighting and hail forced us to ditch our kayaks only 1/2 km from our truck. That was interesting
.
We saw quite a few pleasure boats on the water, but after examining the lake closely I'm sure I won't be bringing my 19' boat any time soon. Hidden rock bars galore! That lake is leg/prop killer, imo.
