Stump bumper Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I need to drop the boat in the water this weekend to test some repairs. I was just wondering if anyone was seeing ice around the launches yet?
Guest Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I need to drop the boat in the water this weekend to test some repairs. I was just wondering if anyone was seeing ice around the launches yet? Water was 44° on sunday, I think you will be fine, since there's a warmimg trend this coming weekend.
chub minnow Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 All the ramps on the upper end had heavy ice (@1") yesterday, but it was starting to melt later in the afternoon. Even War Eagle creek was iced over! I'm guessing the lower end will be fine by tomorrow.
Quillback Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Checked out the Horseshoe Bend COE ramp this morning, no ice, ramp is dry. I may haul my boat over there today and see if there's any cooperative bass in the area.

Quillback Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Let us know how it goes if you make it out! Wonder what the water temp is around Horseshoe Bend? Well kinda slow for me, I caught 3 LM's 12-14" fish on a McStick. Caught those fish on a couple of gradually sloping points with wind and sun. Caught them in a 45 minute span and the other 4 hours I fished was skunk city. Saw quite a bit of shad on the FF, but no predators around them. My FF doesn't have a temp probe and I did not drop the thermometer so no info on water temp. Only saw one dead shad, so I'm thinking it hasn't dropped enough for a shad kill. Saw a couple of guys beach their boat on a gravel bar that has emerged with the low water across from the bend at HS bend. They were searching the gravel for something, arrowheads maybe?

By the way that is illegal, the corps claims rights to all relics in what has ever been covered by water, they also frown on driving on anything that could be lake bed again. I know this because I have worn about both by the corps.
Quillback Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I have read some newspaper accounts of people getting some serious jail time for collecting arrowheads on federal property. It's not worth it.
