The only lake in SD I’ve lost lures easier than Sutherland is Wohlford. Both are tackle graveyards.

I dunno. I think I have lost more lures in Hodges than any other lake.

I’m with TaBASSco, I’m sure I’ve lost way more lures at Hodges than any other lake, especially before braid I used mono only.

Thanks, Everyone, for your replies. I went out to Miramar for a couple of hours recently and fished from the bank not far from the launching ramp. I ended up with two energetic fish, both somewhere in 1-2 lbs range. I enjoyed it and will be back, and will also be giving other lakes mentioned here a ...

I used to live near lake Hodges, and have had plenty of shore fishing success there. Like others have said, plastics work great. Where ever you go look for cover such as deadfall and stickups or weeds and any visible structure, rockpile lines that lead into the water, or rocky points.

A large and a smallie to end the trip.

An 18 cat might have tipped you over!! Good job

Yes dangerous for sure when I released first one it almost ripped grips outta my hand so I decided not to risk losing them w second one them cats love craws

Needed to try something different and headed up to Lake Miramar with my kayak this morning. It was foggy for a bit and it may be a little soon for topwater as I talked to a local who seems to be there almost every time I go there.
I did get a bass on a small jerkbait, but after a while of trying ...

Thanks for the heads up on Miramar Vinny.
Went up there today and ended up with 20+ bass. Nothing big but a few good chunks mixed in. Water was way high so no problem launching.
