Members Lee Stallard Posted January 13, 2018 Author Members Posted January 13, 2018 When you say upper are you talking above the lake or just below the dam? I've fished both but it's been a long time. I used to fish Island Ford all the time. Went out there a couple of weeks ago and didn't get a bite. I've heard the stripers are eating everything in the lower end.

Bought a bag of hot pork rinds and a 10oz. Coke. Slammed the Coke and then started eating pork rinds. Those things were so freakin' hot it was unbelievable and we had nothing else to drink. Ended up drinking straight out of the upper Hooch. Never even got a case of the runs. Lee Stallard 1

Never even got a case of the runs. I worked on a highway job between Helen and Cleveland. Stayed at a Ramada Inn in Helen. This was probably about 10 years ago and there was a store in Cleveland where you could get an RC and a Moon Pie for a dollar. Upper Hooch is good fishing. Need to go check it out again. 2 hours ago, BilletHead said: Yep welcome to the Forums Lee, Looking forward to your input and reports from your trip in our area and from the places you fish otherwise, BilletHead Thanks BilletHead.
