Surprisingly, when I was there a week ago on Saturday it was not as crowded as you all have mentioned. Perhaps the rain that day held a lot of them back.
were quite a few boats out, but the numbers didnt bother us
caught 1 all day
talked to a guy who said he caught a few early but nothing after 930, another guy told us he had one bite
water temp in low 70's most of the lake
boated 7 or 8 today (8am-2:30)....only one was decent. went 19"...all other dinks.
green pumpkin power worms tight to the bank and cover where the water was stained from all the boats doing 70mph past us is where we got them.
My son in law and I were there on Saturday from about 10 a.m. til 5:30 or so. We caught about 10 with only one being decent- about 2 lbs. This was our first trip there and I got to see for myself what I've heard about all the cover, the crowds, etc. It was tolerable though. We had kinda mentally prepared ourselves to have people slip in front of areas we were fishing, battle traffic and just generally take the beating that comes with crowding.- haha. I don't mean to sound petty at all. It was good to take it all in and be a part of it. We have a tournament there next weekend so I will be absorbing everything you guys write between now and then. We basically went down there to see what the lake looks like and try to get some ideas. Found out a couple of things(but not how to catch a 20 incher) and didn't get sunk so it wasn't a bad trip....plus I got to catch a small channel cat on a top water lure, which I had never done, so it was a good day. lol Too bad the tournament isn't for catfish.
