Anyone know why they are pulling the lake down.
looking at the dam for something
My cousin has been smoking some BIG SLAB CRAPPIE at Herrington lately. He has sent several impressive pictures to me via text.
Anyone getting a receipt for their $10 launch fee? If the dock oweners are going to gauge on the fees, lets at least make them turn the income in to the IRS.
I have just been paying 6 at Bryants.
Put in at Gwinn on Saturday, and it's $6 now. New owners at Gwinn's and a new owner at Nelson's...I think Nelson's is $7.
I ran up the lake looking for warmer water and a hybrid run, but I could not make it to Bryant's...lake was 2ft deep just past the old 34 bridge. Water temp was 60F in the 2 ft deep section. Between 55-58F in most of the lake.
The 152 bridge is closed...I was unaware until I reached the bridge. Had to turn around, drive to Danville, then north to Gwinn. Wish I had known about the road closure...no road construction signs until you reach the bridge.
They were jumping near 7pm Saturday night. This made up for the bad fishing in the afternoon.
Did you have any problems launching at Gwinns at this water level? I am wanting to go tomorrow and am trying to decide where to put in. Going to take my son looking for crappie and hybrids.
You can put in at Bryant's but you have to be careful because the water is very shallow in that section. We found that the whites are very small (4-6") up in that area. Very few over 8" as far as our catch. I think the larger whites and hybrids are staying down in the deeper water. If you go up to the falls you must be careful as to underwater rocks and trees which will reach out and touch you before you know it. I would stay in the deeper water myself. Bryant is charging $6.
I had no problem launching at Gwinn's...as you are backing in, keep your boat as far to the driver's side of the ramp as possible. If you dropped off the concrete on the passenger side, then it's a 1-2' drop. Not good for your trailer.
Unless the water level has increased since Saturday, then I suggest avoiding Bryant's...unless you plan to troll to deeper water. 2' of water is too shallow for me to run my outboard. The silt/mud will tear up an impeller much faster than plain water.
