Welcome to the board, good to have you with us!

First off, Oakthorpe is closed, it is my lake and no one else is allowed on it. Larry Isali tries to fish there too and I tell him the same thing LOL

It is a good lake with big fish and they are getting harder to catch each year due to all the fishing pressure.  When I first start fishing there again 10 years ago you would never see ten boats on the lake in a week now there are twice that many in a day thanks to a DNR report they did years ago.  There are still monsters in there just harder to catch.
