I am sure this has been addressed maybe 1000X in the past, but humor me please.
My wife and I are planning next year's week vacation and have never been to BL.
We have fished the 1000 Island areas of the river and Lake O many times over the years but for some strange reason we have never made it to BL. It's time!
We don't need HOT weather, but really want to avoid May.
My wife likes to fish, but she prefers to CATCH.
If you wanted to CATCH fish, bass, pike, eyes, and maybe some crappie (not necessarily in that order), what week would you choose for sheer numbers?
We will be staying at McLears on the SW end of the lake and have a 16' Mirrocraft with a 20hp tiller Merc. Not really a speed demon, so motoring long distances isn't typically preferred, but I will pick up and run if and when needed.
Thanks tons!
Mac

Re: Best Time To Visit
I have never been to BL either, but I am going this weekend. May is actually a great time to fish, so you may want to reconsider avoiding that month. Good luck.

Re: Best Time To Visit
I usually get up to BL about 8-12 times a year between early April and November. I would say it is tough to tell when the best time to visit is. I have had great fishing almost anytime but the fishing at BL can turn on and turn off like a light switch. If I had to pick I would look in late June or sometime in August but that's just my opinion.
