We were going to try and float the flat in mid June but that is becoming less and less likely. Come on rain. Doesn't it always rain on memorial day weekend. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?5zsccl

This being my first season with a bass boat I was wondering what the status quo was. That being said, I guess it's pretty much common sense. I will stay away from a point if someone else is on it, and always pull into a bank behind, not in front, of someone. I do have a place I like to hit in the morning and I pretty much stay within a 50yd stretch for an hour or more. So far everyone has kept their distance but they will line up at the point across the cove from me ( I think passing the time waiting for me to leave). I wondered if it was acceptable to camp out all morning at the same point or if your expected to keep it moving. Sounds like you fish where and how you want to fish and everyone else should give you a wide berth if you were first to a spot. I know not everyone is going to care about the proper etiquette but I'm still going to observe these simple guidelines as I appreciate not being crowded when the bite is on at my spot. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?mfp4wq

No kidding I had to pull off I'm the first available cove this morning the fog was so thick. I did have some chase my buzz bait (looked like jaws zig Zagging at it) off point 22, but only from7:10 to 8:15. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?4xjq1q

Much appreciated. I realized after reading some of the posts that I was a little light on my spinners. Originally I was worried about putting line on that was heavier than my reel is rated for but I'm thinking I just won't be able to put as much on.

Lol. I posted my life story on the may 9th report and then I saw this. Either way that's one question answered. Going up the white in the morning. Now if I could just learn the language well enough to know what a "fin and spook" was...

I'm up on the deck looking at the lights from the camp on point 22 right now. I spent the whole day getting my new and first (2008 red/white nitro 591)bass boat registered. Hitting the water at 5:30 each of the next three days. I've been fishing off a pontoon in this area or needles eye dock for 8+ years and finally bit the bullet and got a boat to get out there and learn (grew up fishing a 6 acre stocked pond with a Zebco 33 so im clueless out here). My tackle is still a work in progress but I've amassed all the rigs I'm gonna get this year. I'd appreciate some feedback on what I should spool on each setup and what I should rig each one up with for the morning trek. 5'2" Berkeley light action rod, superlight berkley spinner with 4 lb vanish line. I bought this for crappie fishing but have ended up putting a torpedo or jerk bait on it most of the time. 6' berkeley supershok medium action rod, Pfleuger Templar spinner with 6 lb vanish on it. This is my famous green and brown football jog with twin tailed grub setup. 6'6" Pfleuger medium action rod, Pflueger president spinning reel with 6 lb. vanish on it. I bought this Walmart special today and haven't figured out what to do with it. I thought crank bait or heddon top water. 7' Abu Garcia vendetta medium heavy action rod, Abu Garcia silver max bait caster with 12 lb vanish on it. I've had either a spinnerbaits or buzz bait on this but it's by first bait caster and I'm learning how to throw it right (Use your thumb!). I'd love to know what line and lure you guys would use with this gear for morning fishing ( or afternoon or night) around point 22 this weekend. Would you go up kings, white, mill creek, or towards main lake. I have no ego when it comes to lake fishing so you won't hurt my feelings critiquing my gear, line, or lure choices. I'm the human sponge right now when it comes to table rock fishing. Also, would any of you guides take me out on my boat in this area and teach me the ropes of not only TRL fishing but off bass boat ownership. Thanks for all the info you guys have given me so far and any wisdom you can impart to a new fisherman is appreciated.

Hey! Thats me! I was wondering what your screename was. LOL!

I haven't floated a ton in my life but did this one last year. It was epic. The bluffs were amazing and I highly recommend that you do this one. We didn't see another canoe or kayak the entire 3 day trip.

In years past I know a lot of people that have done well late night/early morning casting at the light off the boat dock on the tip of needles eye. They tend to swim right around needles eye point and evidently stop for a snack under that light.
