I just started fishing Peck again this year after 20+ years. I've been fishing at least once a week if not more for the past 25 years but I've just focused most my efforts on saltwater and a few other local lakes.

In returning I found out quick that the key to success in this lake was light line timing and live bait. I'm as die hard as anyone when it comes to fishing the artificials but a split shot or flylined night crawler or a live crawdad will produce big bass at this lake consistantly while other methods have fallen short.

I've had some luck on Senko's and plastics but live bait is much more effective here. I havn't fished it a whole lot since I started fishing it again this year but I have caught a 7lb and an 8lb bass for my efforts as well as several 2-3 lb fish.

I have devoted more of my after work afternoons/evenings trips to Legg Lake which has been producing much better numbers. There is qaulity to be had there as well and the fish are more willing to eat the artificial. The difference is Legg Lake will ussually always produce at least a couple fish but Peck on the other hand will leave you skunked. One thing I have noticed is that when you do get bit at Peck hold on because it's ussually a nice fish. If you want to try Peck, Legg, or puddingstone sometime after work Let me know. I fish them all. I fished Legg this evening and I caught two fish for an hour of fishing. Lost another as well. It was actually slower than it has been lately. Today's bass where only 12-14 inchers. I fish freshwater on weekdays and on the weekends I ussually fish salt. Hope the info helps. Also hope Peck gets some clean up. It's pretty trashed.
