That’s Shingal lake and yes, is has some huge bass in it; John caught several between 5 and 6 pounds last spring.
Please do post your trips, I love seeing those pics.

Nice fish. It’s not only about the fish you catch but also the scenery. That is one reason I hated that nasty stinking lake between Yongsan and Osan (Don’t remember the name). It held big fish but that lake was nasty and stunk bad. Koreans just never seem to amaze me. They have a beautiful country with lots of lakes and rivers. If they took care of them it would be no different than what I see out here in Colorado. I’ll post another Colorado fishing trip I took out here recently with my youngest boy. He ended up catching the biggest trout of the day, go figure.

My friends and I (yes, I do have friends ) have camped out in the cove and on the north end a few times overnight, there’s no problem with that at all, as long as you’re not on someone’s rice fields

I think that if you have good quality line, 4 or 6 pound test should do fine; as long as the drag is set right. 4-year old line, however, won’t do the trick, as I found out today. LOL

Ack! Cruises on Idong…just what that lake needs. Well, they already have the water skiing, and now those cabins in the cove, why not a cruise shipt and some swan boats while we’re at it? Blah!

Steve,

One thing I did discover today though is that I have to use a very thin line with that rig. I was using the neko rig on my ultralight rig, which has some 4-year old 4-pound test line and they were slamming that neko rig pretty good but because the line is so old, I had breakage after breakage. I then put a neko rig on my senko rod, which has 10-pound line, but then I couldn’t get them to bite anymore. That water is crystal clear so I’m pretty sure that the line diameter had a lot to do with it.

Glad the neko rig worked out for you Nomad, hopefully I can catch a few bass with it next week.
