So what is the problem? Are you mad that I asked if they were "in there" or do you have a problem with snagging? If it is the later, let me tell you, last time i checked, it was legal. Like your mom once told you, if you don't have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut. No one asked if you cared for spillway fishing or snagging, so once again, I will look forward to stocking up my freezer as soon as possible.
Everyone that had something positive to add, I appreciate it and would let you all know if it is worth going there.
Easy fella, I too like to spillway fish. Just getting started doing it and have only made a few trips for catfish. I haven't gone for crappie yet but what I've been told it needs to cold to be effective. I didn't read any commentary from the posters about snagging one way or the other on this thread. What I have read in other threads about this subject is some like it, some don't but realize that those crappie are out of the lake headed down river.Quote:

Good luck, DS
The most positive thing I can possibly say is to get out there and try it. Wish ya luck, I'm sure everyone will be anxious to hear if they were snagged on the left side or the right, that's pertinent information.
I don't have a problem checking it out on my own, just wondering in advance if people were having any luck snagging, left or right side as well.
They turned the gates way back today, couple of weeks ago they were catching em pretty good when it was cooler weather. Lake is pretty much at winter pool now and unless we have some major rain they won't be cranking it back up any time soon. Mighty dry here so unless we have some really hard rain and in a hurry it would take a bunch of rain to make much difference.
Might get some rain tonight. It's raining here and coming from the south.
Lets all play nice, catch nice, snag nice. We're all friends here, or at least as fellow fishermen, we should be. Enough said, just wanting it to remain friendly on a family friendly site. Now if only I could catch some fish on this darn lake I live on here in Florida I'd be happy. Right now it's the dead sea! Ain't been cold enough to make them hungry. They are still in their Summer slumber.
Slumber? And I worked through nap time today. Guess I'll take 2 tomorrow.
I snagged for spoonbills in the lower lake of Sardis before the weir was installed. Have my camping/fishing gear in the truck the day before my off days of mid week. Have the car gassed up encase Debbie and the kids joined us. I'd get off at 7 am and swap the car for the truck and head down to meet mom and her boyfriend. Set the tent up and hit the water. Jake would run the motors and I ran the poles. Finish the day cleaning fish, a sponge bath (no shower houses back then) a bite of supper and head for bed. The next morning a bite of breakfast and hit the water. The third day, finish about noon. Pack up camp and head home. Unload the truck, nap time and head back to work at 11 pm.
Snagging had a season of October and November back then, only rough fish could be kept. It embedded, would I keep a snagged fish now, I don't know.
Went last night....lots of fisherman no one catching anything, including me.
