Next to the blow-out holes (where they discharge the water in the locks) there is a sign that says to stay back 300 feet but I've never seen or heard of anyone getting a ticket for fishing on top of them. Be **** careful not to be over there in especially a small boat when they do discharge or you could end up in trouble real fast. You gotta know where it's safe to throw anchor.

after reading this today i decieded to go up there had not been there in 5 or 6 years fishing so i put on 5 popeyes for my 7 year old to keep him busy with the skipjacks and promised him he would catch 2 or 3 or more at a time well the little camper come home mad after not catching anything i could not get a bite on anything either but did notic there was 2 boat one came all the way up to the wall but i dont think they cared anyhow since it was happy hour for them and the other boat came with in about 3 or 400 feet

this brings me to ask when do the skippys start hitting me and my dad use to go there all the time i do know the we would sain crawdads around his b day witch is today and the after that we would switch over to skippys i though today u could catch them anytime but i guessed wrong i would like to put my boy on them so he could catch a few at a time
