Fish species in Long Lake

If you are looking at Long Lake, you are looking at a Taylor County lake with a published profile of about 7 acres and a maximum depth of 10 feet, which is the first thing I would want to know if a buddy asked me about this place.

The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan by making an honest pass along the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.

The fishery on paper

Recorded species at Long Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and make the first hour useful instead of random.

My game plan

If I had a few hours to figure out Long Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
