These lakes hold largemouth bass, tiger bass, catfish, black crappie, and bluegill. Catching bass in the three to five pound range is a normal occurance. Twelve pound bass and channel cats and twelve inch bream have been caught in the last three years

Perfect weather to get out of the house so I made a quick trip to Damon 7 Lakes. It turns out that I was not the only one with that thought.  MK and Skip D., Nate C., Dick K., Jerry B., Mark, and many others were there.

Quick trip to Damon 7 Lakes, 2018-01-31

Met with Don H. at the picnic tables at 0940 and was on the water within minutes. The bite was slow, but dependable.  Before 1500 we had landed 12, and missed a few more. The reason I still consider this trip exceptional is that all but one of the bass were caught on topwaters, either … Continue reading Quick trip to Damon 7 Lakes, 2018-01-31

60 people showed up for the event. The wind made casting a challenge and the water was a little cooler than expected, so the bite was slow. Reports of LMB up to 6lbs were reported, but I don't have pictures in hand.
