Thread: Sinclair Sat. Night

How did it go? I was thinking about going this evening depending on the weather. Not sure where to go at Sinclair. I guess just look at the map for deep water with bridges close by the boat ramp. Not familiar with the lake and want to get up there before dark. Try the docks before dark and then some after dark and the bridges w/lights? See what happens.

Any ideas?

We kept 5 bass (4 hybrids and one largemouth). Tossed back a couple that were "borderline". Didn't really fish for crappie. Just tossed out a crankbait and a plastic worm. You'll probably do better today as the fishing pressure will be down during the week. Saturday night is probably the worst night. From the boat ramp, facing the water, we took a right (away from the bridge) and then hung to the left up the creek channel. There's a few good lights there at night.

Friends in another boat fished until 5:30 in the morning. They brought back 7 largemouths, 4 hybrid, and 1 crappie.

Thanks. Waiting to hear back from partner on what time. I saw on another post that the current has been tough. Guess that will get them to hold tight to whatever cover they are around. I am hoping you are right about the pressure and boat traffic being less due to work day. Will let you know how it went.

Please do. I'll probably head back up after the 4th, maybe on a Wednesday. The "pressure" ought to have died down a bit by then.

I tried to Fish Hartwell this evening. Went for a while the boat traffic was unreal.

Most people don't have consideration anymore. Fished about 3 hrs no luck . Goina try after the fourth maybe they'l be less traffic.
