I went to school at K-state in the mid 90's and did quite a little fishing. Pot 2 is a great lake for LMB and crappie. I didn't have a boat and the crappie could be caught anywhere along the banks with minnows and bobber. I wade fished for the LMB. If I remember correctly we would start on the northwest corner and wade around the back side of the lake. Lare white spinnerbaits and anything topwater in the am and evening. We caught a ton of bass there. Tuttle creek was good for cats and crappie also. For cats we would go across the back of the lake, park just off the bridge and walk east down the shore about 1/2 - 1 mile and fish anywhere along that bank at night. I can't remember where it was we crappie fished on Tuttle but we caught a lot of them. I think that was in a cove on the northeast end. Fished Milford a lot with a friend with a boat and caught a lot of white bass but like cbanman said you need a boat over there. We caught a good number of white bass at Rock Ford also. White and chartruse twister tails on 1/4 oz jig heads. Most people were using live bait but we did really well with the artificials. Been a while but I caught a lot of fish from shore while there.

Thanks guys for the advice. I wish I had a small boat, but I don't. From most people I've talked to while I've been down here they told me Pot 2. has been over fished in recent years, and I know some people that have tried it and had no luck. I might try it some time this week though just because crappie should be up for spawning. I know the white bass have been hitting beneath the dam and at Rocky Ford from talking to a couple guys. I also saw some nice walleye being caught out there the other day as well. It is always hard to balance the want to go fishing and finals though. Once again thanks for the tips.

Hey fishadict, the balance is easy. Go fishing and guess on your finals, or heck dont even go. Your probably getting all A's anyway right.[8D]

That's the dilema I'm borderline for A's in most my classes and well the fishing the last several times I've went out has been less than spectatcular. Mostly because it's been so windy it just makes it hard to fish and then when you finally find a nice spot out of the wind the bugs have been eating me alive. That truly is the best part of early spring fishing. No bugs. Now that the bugs are out again if your not catching anything fishing can outright stink.
