Ten Mile?

[AtItAgain]

I will be spending all of next week camping in Winchester Bay and I plan on fishing Ten Mile at least one day. I am not to concerned about finding bass but would like to get my kids into some crappie, bluegill, and/or perch.

Which lake is better, north or south? Do they bite on the normal panfish jigs, worms, crappie nibbles?

Thanks for any info that can be provided. Feel free to PM if you don't want to post for all to see.

Mike, PM BassinFever. That's his home waters.
You could also fish Takenitch...the boat houses along the right (south) side of the lake are always good for a bunch of small perch. We're planning a trip down to Tak later this year. You guys should join us. The kids would have a ball.

Just a heads up. The perch in tahk as of last weekend were not biting. Heard some guys camped nearby say that tenmile WAS red hot for bass 2 weeks ago but has slowed. Tenmile is a great lake for multi species trips.

The whole lake (10-mile North and South) has good fishing for all the fish you mentioned. A good spot to start would be around the big island on South Lake, or go through the channel to North Lake, pass the camprgound on your left, then go into the cove and fish north to the railroad tressel and the first cove tucked in behind it also. There are some sandy points on some of the other coves on North Lake where the bluegill spawn. Good luck! Also, if you want to get away from people sometimes Eel Lake (Tugman Park) is quieter. There are smallmouth in eel lake also.
