I fished yesterday out of burnside. Ran as far as fall creek . AND TRUST ME IT IS A MESS. due to the wind most ,of the trash is on the right side of the lake. but in any and all bends it is solid ALL the way across. When they pull it as hard as they are it pulls the debris out into the middle. Had to slow and idle thru 4 places. After I got to fall crek heading to ramseys point it was INPASSIBLE giant trees and logs .TONS of bottles,old docks,limbs and mats of dead grass floating that have died and floated to the top. Some major logs mixed in with the mats so YOU better idle thru them or have your life insurance paid up.
As for the fishing we did catch several fish most small buck bass with a couple really nice smallies. I haven't been below ramseys so I can't comment on that area

State Park ramp is open and clean. So is Pumpkin Creek and all of Greasy from the water intake to State Dock.
Thanks Boone. And to all. Its a 2 hour drive to there for me to look and see. @ hours there, 2 hours back, then 2 hours down agaqin with teh boat if its good to go. By the time I did that, I have spent so much on gas I couldn't afford bait....or beer!

Three hours for me Bob. Sometimes you just gotta take a chance Bro. The other day was the first time I've ever seen Halcombs that socked in, I stood there and said a few choice words then scratched my head and backed up and punted.
The thing is with the wind it changes constantly right now.

Was there Thur/Fri/Sat. nites. Put in at Alligator II and ran Wolf Creek to the mouth. Never seen the lake in that bad of shape. Ran into two massive debris feilds. One in Wolf Creek, one at the mouth. I'm talking hugh trees and stumps. Never ran up on plane the whole time I wasa there. Found very little shad. What shad we found would come up for 15 to 20 min. and then were gone. Most of the shad were not on the banks. Tried Slivers, Red Finns, Gizz 4 and nothing worked. My partner caught one short striper and it was 23".
There my be very little debris on ride out of Wolf Creek but the ride back to dock there would be a massive debris feild or the other way around. Heard no blow ups in three nights. Thur nite had a buddy try to cross at the mouth of Wolf Creek over toward Caney Creek with his trolling motor only and turned around and came back due to the massive amount of deris. If you go be very carefull and goog fishing to you.

The smallmouths are on fire .... Green pumpkin jigs on the points and sides of the points . Also about half was back in the creeks and black shell banks about 15-20 feet down. Large mouths are in the backs of the creeks top water and some fish on the bed but few and far between...
