McNeely lake fishing report

Not a problem just go down tell them the story and they will be glad to take your money. It'll help if you have a serial number. If none available make one up and engrave it into boat. May have to have sheriff look at it to determine it not a stolen boat. Just a technicalitie thats no big deal. Thats what I had to do to get numbers on mine.

I might have to do that. My granddad gave it to me - it sat by his tool shed for years unused. He bought it brand new over 50 years ago. I've used it for ponds quite a bit - that paddle from the McNeely ramp to the dam is a long paddle to make, especially if there's wind.

Hit it up for about an hour yesterday. Water was dirty but not quite as bad as i expected. Id say 12" visibility. I was fishing the dam at the dam on the opposite end form teh spillway when i hooked a 12-13" fish on a 1/2oz chrome Ratt-L-Trap. It barely hit the thing, and at first i was just thinkin i caught the grass on the bottom. Then it pulled back, but i never got a good hook set. He rolled at the bank and got off.

Then I got to talking to a lady bank fishing out there who said that the day before she had caught a few, and every one of them was in about 3 ft of water just off the bank. She then proceeded to land that fish i had let off 10 minutes earlier on what appeared to be a 3/8oz red/white spinnerbait with a single colorado blade. So it would seem that McNealy is pickin up. Just be sure to use lures that make a lot of vibration.
