Got there about 6 PM and started twitching a Live Target frog over the pads and got struck on the third cast. Spent another hour or so and got a few more swipes but no hookups. I made my way over to the long pier, took one cast with a whopper plopper (90, loon) and hooked up. Spent another hour or two, but didn't land anything else. I feel like that has been consistently my experience at Lake Glenview. I get bit right away and then nothing afterward. Great time, though. My expectations for success or so low there so catching anything is a thrill.

That lake is so painful to fish from shore. Its shallow so far out in a lot of spots. I have such bad luck there outside of fishing too. Last year I had the trots real bad and the public bathrooms were locked. Luckily found a port a potty in the gated off part of the school. Then I had the day where I got the Whopper Plopper hook under my fingernail. Needless to say, I won't be going back :lol:

Good job getting on em in such a tough spot.

Nice job. Most of my success has been that bay right off Chestnut. Deeper quicker, lily pads my kinda fishing.

Nice job. I agree it's hit or miss. Did catch a crappie once there and I remember someone hooking a muskie there last year. Does anyone have a depth map of the place? I've never been able to find one.

Everybody love a topwater outing. Thanks for sharing

Lake Glenview can be a tough body of water. As Woohoodude pointed out, there are few shore accessible places that are close to deeper water drop offs. Fishing the pads, and the stick-ups, for me, as well as the long pier, have been the most productive. Several years ago, I went out 2-3 times in July and August, and ended up landing 6-7 nice 14"+ in an hour or two, but I haven't had that kind of action there since. Usually, I land 1-3, usually 13-15", and an the occasional 17-18". I did catch my 26" Tiger Muskie off the long pier last July. It is a worth it to fish this lake, but be prepared with a back-up body of water in case the bite is shut down.
