After reading TubeDude's adventure at Blue Lake, me and my boys decided to give it a go and headed out "West". We wanted to see what all the hype was about and wanted to see if there were really Tilapia out there. Nobody believed that we were going fishing. We arrived at around 8:30 am thinking we'd be the only ones fishing, but we were wrong. Not paying any attention to the Blue Lake "carp" or the awful smell of the surrounding areas, we threw in our lines and had a pretty fun day. Caught about 20 Tilapia, (6 were about 1 lb each, and the rest were about 6 inches), 3 small bass and about 20 small bluegill. We kept the 6 big Talapia. They seemed to be everywhere and loved worms.
The weather was a perfect 55 degrees and no bugs. I am guessing that the warmer weather the next few months will make that place Mosquito land. If you love the smell of sulfur and catching tiny bluegills, I would suggest venturing out to Blue.
