I fished at PC today. No reportable catch except one big female bluegill (released) after 3 hours trolling Flicker Shad and then throwing crappie jigs. So much loose grass is in the water it is hard to keep the trolled baits clean. The upper end around 412 bridge is messed up really bad. Chocolate milk water and logs and debris piles floating around there. War Eagle Creek is very muddy too, so I think the chocolate milk goes past HC, but it was not yet to 12 bridge this afternoon. Upper end won't be fishable for at least a couple of weeks. The forecast says more rain may be coming.

Yep, I looked at the long term forecast and was thinking.....great. When you work during the week and only fish at night during the week or on weekends, all this rain is killing me. I'm not afraid of the rain by any means. But lightening I do not do and the rain just makes a mess of the yard getting boat in and out.

This reminded me to be watchful for debris. Thank you!

I put in at HC marina yesterday evening the water wasn't chocolate milk but very dirty with some scattered debris. Ran to horseshoe bend and the water was much cleaner with a green stain. Didn't fish long and only one short walleye on a flicker shad.

Put in at Horseshoe today. Lots of floaters - be careful. Water is dingy but still fishable. Caught a quick walleye & couple spots bass fishing. Nephew wanted to brim fish so scratched up some worms & caught about 30 bluegill. Guess they're starting up along with the gigantic carp.

What does the Horseshoe ramp look like with the water coming up like it is?

[wmander]

Ramp wasn't too bad but I had my nephew as a second hand. You'd probably get your feet a little wet if not. Wouldn't put a big nice bass boat in there though. Better off just driving around to PC or 12 if you plan on fishing Blackburn or Escalapia.

12 is almost into the parking lot... PC is your best bet.

How is the ramp at Monte Ne?
