Members phins Posted March 12, 2015 Members Posted March 12, 2015 Went down on 3-11 and the fishing was tough. I guess I went through half a spool of line breaking off the old lure and tieing on the new one looking for what the fish wanted.Threw pretty much everything at em.Best success was with an olive colored jig. Water is a little off color but you can still sight fish.Went with Dad and the 2 nephews who threw all the color combinations that Berkley makes with the best luck on yellow. I was very surprised at the number of fisherman there on a Wed. Must have been better than 400 at the siren. Spring fever or a lot of schools on spring break I guess. It was fun though seeing all the grandfathers with a young en' with them.
Haris122 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 How many did you manage to bring in? I went there last Sunday at around 4, after having tried the red ribbon section by hwy 8, and scott's ford access first, and I barely got a single fish out of there before the horn hit at 7. Maybe with like 30 minutes left I got my one and only. I had another decent one on earlier, I saw it take the roostertail from 40 feet away, that's how clear the water was, and then I fought him for a few seconds, and when he jumped I lost that one. May have had another 2 bites in that time, but that was it. The one I did catch wasn't too bad though. 12", and I was pretty relieved I caught any. Btw even then there were quite a lot of people. I figured a lot of people that didn't go due to the storm opening weekend, just ended up coming that weekend instead.

Seth Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I am taking some kids on a field trip down there Thursday. Looks like they are calling for rain now. I hope it doesn't mess up the day for them. I'm used to fishing in the pouring rain but I prefer them to not have to deal with it.
