one thing to take away from this, our small community is very passionate about the lake indeed,and any course action is better than nothing at all, even discourse can be good if only to raise awareness. i think a few condescending posts set a bad path for this thread. ken makes a few good points but...

its quite funny you refer to bass as a trash species because they are so catchable where you live. but yet over here its the red devils that do exactly what you say the bass do there. you can catch red devils with impunity on any bait and at any time here they are so abundant so wouldn't that be our...

Had a harder time than Jeff had lol, but the water clarity and level are great! Just gotta adjust a bit faster than I did, course I been nearly a month dry so it's hard to get out and pattern it first shot. I agree on the red devils!! They are pairing up all over the banks right now, more so than th...

too bad the water lvl is high, there are dozens of batteries along the shoreline in places. perfect way to get people especially boaters to pitch in and clean em up! hear theres a bounty on snakeheads in maryland now. you bring in any dead snakehead and get a 200$ bassproshops gift certificate from ...

rain gear and a first aid kit are in mine.

well the water is starting to clear up a bit. at least on the north fork side anyways. visibility is maybe 8in to a foot at best. water is still very high and everything is flooded. water temp was 71 at launch and best i found was 75 at noon but only out in the sunniest areas. locked onto a very ver...

considering the lake looks like a big orange mud puddle id say that 3 fish, especially a tuc! should be considered a resounding success!! don't forget to flush the outboard real good, nothing worse than dried mud all through the inside of the engine! the tournament should be a real test of skill thi...

If your like me and thought well maybe can sneak out before the next storm. Well apparently a power outage dumped 7000 gallons of raw sewage into the lake last night. Between that and the wind muddy water and in comming storm think its time to do a honeydoo list instead.

although i didn't know him personally and was too young and not into bass fishing so much back then, i recall his articles in the fishing news. my father and i ran into him a couple of times at the ramp and under the trestle south of the ramp, always positive and eager to pass on knowledge. when i g...

id like to believe that despite the damage they do to the bank that they had a positive impact during the salvinia and hyacinth invasions. imagine all that decaying matter along the bottom from dying fish and dead plants. i think the carp and plecos helped keep it from really making a mess of the bo...

personally with the threat off lightning id say hell no, i have been caught out on the water in bad lightning storms and its a humbling experience if not terrifying. also the water going up so fast is gonna shut down all the fish for a bit, wait till it stabilizes for awhile and it could get really ...

follow the posts back through the site and you can pick up tons of info on what where and how to fish for tucs. anytime your at the ramp quiz guys coming in, most of us will be more than happy to share info. you might even get a ride along if you plant your cards right. its a small lake with its own...

went out on monday, expected to have a busy day on the lake. to my surprise it was fairly empty maybe 4-6 boats all day. lots of bank fisherman though. guess the lake got pounded on sat and sun cause they weren't where they had been and the ones were still around were skittish to say the least. i ha...
