We did get two LM on consecutive casts from under the 2 docks on the eastside of the pads that were both 2#. Earlier this year we did some really nice LM & SM coming from those same docks. We seemed to do better in the little bays especially the largest one on the westside about 1/4 mile North of the launch. It has nice steep drop offs & a lot of good docks for flippin'. We have yet to hit Chapman this year but are planning to do so soon. I read your posts on Loon recently, i've fished their all my life with my Dad for Kokanee but only Bass fished their occasionally. Always either in the North pads /channel for LM or a couple of the rocky points for SM. So i took your advice & headed to the old net pen on the NE side during a break from trolling for Kokanee last Saturday & nailed a nice 3# LM on my 5th cast! I am heading out to Fan in the AM, another lake i've fished a lot but only for trout. Have any suggestions? Thanks again for the great posts. -William

7/13/2010 1:48:00 PMMy last visit to Fan was back in Aug 2008, it was the most recent bass post under my old name of JT. Just caught a few dinks, the north side around the island is said to hold some nice one's, there's a nice cove on the west side with allot of downed trees. There is an open area up north through the passage, but be careful, the perch may tear up anything you throw in there. Didn't get that much of a chance to attack the the bass like I normally do, the wife was buggin me about trolling for the trout! Also, remember that it's a "5 mph lake, no gas motors".
