When I camp on an island I rely on what I can catch. I'll set out a few jugs and float some goldfish, catching catfish, bass, and occasionally having to chase a jug a mile behind a striper. I started off doing that in 1959 here, the object to freeze up a minimum of 50 pounds of bass and or crappie fillets a week in spring and fall. We culled 3 pound bass, not worth messing with. While the jugs loaded up we cast Creme worms, loading the boat. Well, that was when the lake was young, in its prime. Too soon the native vegetation died out and the lake remained virtually barren except for laydowns and brush piles dumped around by the hundreds every year, until hydrilla invaded in to revive bassing in the 90s. It's just the two of us now, so all I need is 3-5 bass a week for our own use, except for a church project involving 20 fishing members combining fillets for a 400# fish fry this spring. That's a lot of work.
