Good Winter Fishing Empire Park Forsyth

[Fredrick]

I Thought I'd let you guys know about the luck Ive been having at empire park. I lived in Forsyth last year now I live in Branson . I have had tons of luck at empire park in Forsyth. A few weeks ago I landed a 19 inch rainbow about 3 pounds. I have had so much luck with power bait eggs sunrise color. I uses a sliding weight rig with a small split shot to stop it but I know a barrel swivel works much better (don't have to re adjust every cast). I have been using 4 pound line with great success. I grew up using 10 pound line for bass so I was very afraid. But I set the drag on my reel with a pull scale just a tick above 1 pound. I have out fished every one who have been their with me ( i think its the 4lb test and the color of the eggs) I used rooster tails and chrome crank baits last year and got lots of trout and bass two 18 inch rainbow in one day . I see other people doing well their too . I talked to an older man with a basket full of big suckers he was headed home for a big fish fry . He was fishing off the end of the point by the public fishing dock . We were fishing in the cold rain but we were both happy because we both caught tons of fish. So Yea I have had great luck.

I love that spot, I fish on the dock quite often. pink/white powerbait eggs and lemon lime seem to work for me there. catch my limit most of the time.
