Ringer Report post Posted December 9, 2019 Terrible! Went down to the lake Saturday to try it out since the fish kill. Was hoping to get a few bites. Only one other boat on the entire lake. Fished ten of our best spots and got only one bite and zero fish. I scoped a few fish but very few. Saw a couple of small crappie flipping. I think it will be a while before that lake is fishable again. Sad to see the marina closed up. I hope G&F are stocking the lake and it comes back soon.

Ringer Report post Posted December 9, 2019 It was cold but not one bite or fish on the screen. The tournament at Roosevelt was won Saturday with 13.4 pounds and the top 27 boats all had a 5 bass limit. I think that Apache is a waste of time but have at it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
