OK, here's my amateur post. Launched the 16.5' Monark out of CC Monday, 8am-4pm, and stayed at most, 1 mile north of the launch. Only threw crank baits at banks and timber. Concentrated at points when not throwing to timber. At best, didn't go deeper than 12ft. W.T. was 81-82 degrees. Caught 5 dinky bass ............no keepers. Kept one 12"crappie out of 3 caught. Caught 4 cats dragging a white Bandit in 10-12ft water. Biggest cat was 4 pounds and actually got fowl hooked. Been too hot for me to fish for the last 30 days. Before that, I hit the lake a number of times pulling grandkids on the tube with the Champion fish & ski.

Jim's Find A Grave memorial. Hope he's remembered a long time. I'm going to miss his posts! http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=148104356

Keep an eye on http://www.lakinfuneralhome.com/obituaries/ That's the funeral home his body was taken to according to the Highway Patrol report. Or call them to find out if they will be transferring his body to another funeral home.

Hey dprice, what's a "Win sheild tag?" Does that apply on Stockton Lake also?

I thought that 3Hills ramp was concrete, or am I thinking of a different one?

Here's a variation. http://www.ebait.com/SloDeathRig.asp

"All present and accounted for, Sir" FYI "Redcatcher68" stands for a Viet Nam infantry unit's nickname I was assigned to in 1968, not any of the "red" fish types/species!

Does anybody know the conditions at Ruark Bluff launch ramp? Is there ice in the cove?
