I didn't have time to hit my usual fishing spot (50 minute drive), so I hit Newburgh lake with my sister two days ago. Launched the boat and used the trolling motor to hit a few spots. Caught a bunch of bluegills. Still a fair amount of weeds in the lake. They need to weed treat this lake.
there were 2 other boats on the lake. Nice to have almost the whole lake to yourself.
I talked with one of the boaters getting off the lake. He said there is a 18 foot channel running the length of the lake. He said there are some big fish in here. Mentioned a 42 inch pike being caught. He showed me a 5 lb largemouth on his digital camera he caught over by the dam.
Just wondering if anyone else has fished this lake. I'm aware of its past history being polluted and dredged, and wouldn't eat anything out of here. Just wondering if anyone else has caught anything out of a boat here. Nice lake close to get a fishing fix in.
