Trolling Motor Only Lakes

[ClarkIR]

The CO on deam is Mick. Good friend of mine. He might give you a warning or a ticket. Pretty much easy going guy. He is not out to bust your balls. On the other hand, there are several other CO's that frequent Deam on weekends if Mick is running the river patrol and can't help you with them. Also obey the speed limit going into and out of Deam Lake. They use RADAR frequent.

Bass are hitting watermelon flukes on grass flats. Went out Tuesday evening and caught 22 bass in 2.5 hours. Three were keepers. Good fishing

If your on the grass flat im thinking of thats one of the few hidden gems in deam... most people dont know about that unless they have a radar or fish it often enough.

Overall its not a great bass lake in my opinion... Id much rather go to Starve Hollow or Stanfield in Muskatatuk

I was raised in Borden. Waggoner Knob use to belong to my ancestors in the 1800's. We lived in Southern Hills for years and grew up fishing on Deams and that lake in Southern Hills. My first fishing trip when I was a kid was at Deams Lake. We moved out of the area around 80-81 but still went back to go fishing. So I already knew about that grass area. It's been a good spot for years. I know a few others too, one of them, is down there by that spillway. You need a crankbait to get down to the bottom. I use a lipless Rattle Trap, and several 25' depth Rapala's. Rapala usually slays that Lake, but with this heat we've had all summer, they aren't doing that well right now. October, I'll be back at Deams pretty hard. Buzz Baits and Frogs ready to go as well.

i also fish Deams quite often and very easily load my 19 foot glass bass boat with the trolling motor. it can be done if you use the tm and momentum. put the tm on high and as you near the trailer start lifting the tm and let the momentum carry you to within easy reach of your winch strap.

Guess I'm just not as much of a man as you Embry. Oh well. LOL.

Me personally, I would at least offer to show a guy what to do if I knew. If I don't know, why is it so hard to just leave this thread alone? Instead. You are trying to make me feel like an idiot on this forum and make me feel I don't deserve to be out fishing. I mean by now, if you were paying attention to what I HAVE BEEN saying, instead of your own personal gain, you would see the problem. But that's ok, there are plenty on here who have already helped me out. Guess those people are much more of a man than you then, huh? Don't worry Embry, you may have ticked me off a little, and I'll get over it, but Jesus loves you. He understands you even if I don't.

Don't worry about him Arauthator.....he is one one of those guys on here that puts others down..... i.e his comment on taking young kids fishing.....and by his OWN account usually doesn't figure out how to catch fish when its gets tougher to catch them.

what are you talking about?lol. when have i said dont take young kids fishing? dont think ive put anybody down either?

[lroberts]

Well.....a couple of weeks ago there was a thread about tx's for young kids....specifically about a six year old......and you said "takea six-year old tx fishing, really". Also, from what I have read in the thread about loading the boat your "tone" of voice was very harsh towards the fella. Each is their own, and if he can't load his boat that way at that particular ramp, then who are you to tell him otherwise....especially if you haven't been to the ramp to see it first hand. I am no Saint and have questioned others on here....so take my point of view with a grain of salt if you'd like!

i didnt mean to not take a kid fishing. to me i wouldnt put a kid in a tourney. kinda puts the wrong reason on fishing like you have to win at it or something. just my opinion which dont mean anything. a kid should learn to fish for fun ,at least while theyre young.and ive witnessed many times and done it myself loading a boat with a trollin motor and havent ever seen it not work at a public ramp. no harm meant! lol

Point taken on the tx thing.....guess I didn't think of that way. I've loaded a boat like you mentioned and it worked just fine also....in this instance maybe the ramp makes it more difficult??? Have you been on Patoka lately?? We qualified for the USA BASSIN regional and can't decide if we want to go or not...fishing been any good down there? It was super tough last year....we were one of only three boats to get a limit!

No, not a change of heart. I still think that if he needs to load his boat that way (and doesn't get a ticket) thats his parogative. On the kid/fishing thing.....yeah, I misunderstood what you were saying.
