It can be one of the most crazy places to fish! Like said get there early and camp out. There will be fish there. What will be working on them is up in the air, until the fishing starts. Good luck to you, I am sure I will see you around. As well as a few other faces from here. :IBCOOL:

M2SP wrapped flat fish have been the producer since they came out....

I know a lot of people that fish down there. It kinda just depends on who you ask. I have seen a lot of diffrent things used, and many diffrent producers.

I know a lot of people that fish down there. It kinda just depends on who you ask. I have seen a lot of different things used, and many different producers.

I know allot of people down there too. One is me. Fished it so much back in the day that STS even did an article on me. Not that it matters but I know the area and the trends over the years. Lots of people catch fish on lots of different things.

But I hear ya but I'm talking about 2 or 3 guide boats that constantly near limit there boats daily. But these guys fish it everyday and live in the parking lot sleeping with there M2SP's. Lol

Thanks carp. I have always used a diamond shaped flasher with a prawn rig or vibrex spinner with a prawn and a 3oz cannon ball weight and done really well. got to love the combat fishing.  :chuckle:

That place is ridiculous when the fishing gets good.  I live 15 minutes from the lake and never fish it, I guess I just don't have the patience for it.

It's like bumper boats up there and the guy with idle set to high on his kicker is the one everyone hates as he throws off the circle troll.  Reminds me of being stuck in a heavy traffic.  Well worth the experience to catch a fish.   :bash:

I never could understand it but a couple buddies of mine actually enjoy the stress of a cluster-f*#! fishery. The yelling,screaming,fighting chaos does not sound fun. I'd rather catch a couple small trout in a mountain stream and enjoy what fishing should be.

I will be there on the bank, throwing plugs and spinners at the boats..   :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:   probably about 3-4 evenings after work, and all day Sat. and Sun. 

Anyone coming down that has an open seat.. holler at me,, If you are not scared of YAR!   :yike: :chuckle: :P ;)
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I read a report on the show called GPS or something like that, which said that at different points in the CR the number of fish per boat coming out of the water are well below 1 fish per boat.  Down by the mouth it is something like 0.3 fish per boat.  So there are no real push from the fish yet.
