When coon prices are up and I need cage bait we can fill a few freezers pretty fast catching a bunch in one day will wear a guy out.

Has that lake ever been seined?

I doubt it there’s a dam above it that restocks it if it winter kills with fresh carp, since it’s deep now GFP stocked it with perch and walleyes but its shallow by my place still have half a lot under water the old high water mark is 80 yards out then it drops off.

Gefilte fish can be made out of them I believe some come from lake okoboji I remember Larry the cable guy doing a show about it, when they eat the fish the guys making it put a lot of horseradish on theirs.
