Taking a weeks vacation first week of October staying at Joe Wheeler State Park. I'm wondering what to expect as far as water temps and depth and location of the fish. Thanks

Ya never know who youll find when looking on different boards.:) In my opinion you've got to stick with the Decauter flats. last time I was there , there was alot of grass & fish on the flats. I read were one pro said ( I believe it was Tim Horton) that 90% of the tournaments won on wheeler were won on the Decauter flats. A couple of years ago I was fishing a pretty big tourney down there and tried to reinvent the wheel and I found out again that the wheel has allready been invented (I didnt fish the flats). There are some other interesting things about the lake, lillypads were abundant 2 years ago and the fish dont mind going shallow ,real shallow. Ive got a spinnerbait that a friend of mine gave me who lives down there and swears by it, at one time I believe he held the lake record and it was caught on this particular kind of spinnerbait. If I can find it I will give it to you tuesday night if your going to be there. Just my two cents, Jarrod

Thanks for the info Jarrod. I love the 3 lakes and have a hard time making up my mind which to fish. But this trip I plan on 3 days on Wheeler.

See Ya at T-ville
