Shenipsit Lake 6/4/13
Message:
After trying to find information about this lake which is only 20 minutes from my apartment and couldn't really find any, I decided to check it out first hand. I found the area which is designated on a map as Fishing area #1 around 9:00 am. You'll find small openings on the shore every 20 feet or so for shore fishing. The sun was out, light breeze and the water was clear. From what I can tell, there's little vegetation in this area with a sandy bottom. I threw just about everything I had in my box (crank baits and senkos). I had no luck at all. The only aquatic life seen were a few infant sunfish and a large snapping turtle. I stayed for about an hour and a half. There's a lot of rules and I was unsure about where to fish. They also have a monitor that drives around so make sure you follow their rules. If anyone has more information on this place I'd love to hear about it. Ill be checking out area #2 soon, which looks a little more promising. I drove by it and it had some branches sticking out the water so I'm thinking this cove might have some good structure. Hope this sparks someone's interest.

Wow, Manimal and I were also there this morning.... we got there around 5:15 and left around 8am. We were in fishing spot #1 according to your map. We fished the other side of the bridge, until a lake monitor told us we couldn't be on the rocks, it was private. So we went to the main lake side of bridge, it was windy and cold. I caught 2 fish.... a Crappie on the other side of bridge using a rapala perch colored ssr5 and a trout on the main lake side using a rapala ssr5 fire tiger. Tried everything in the box though, top water, spinner bait, inline spinner, rattle baits...not much. That spot looks like it has potential though, especially where the over hanging limbs are, that's the side manimal fished. I would definitely try it again when it's a bit warmer and not as windy.

They also have a website, shenipsit lake association or something like that, but when I tried to go there my computer told me it was a "bad" site with viruses or something like that. That cove at area #1 would be fun with some shiners I think.
