It is pole and line only but a couple of weeks ago someone had lines in with noodles attached to them. Not the first time we saw lines in there but this time they actually had nerve enough to attach yellow noodles to them. Think there is a lot of illegal fishing and keeping going on there. Never see anyone there checking anything.
We are ready for the river to drop down behind the dikes. Want to do some overnight fishing and like for the water to be DOWN. Well actually I usually fall asleep and husband watches all poles. works out pretty good until he drops a small catfish on me.
I won't go out for an all nighter until the dikes show, either. I'd guess it will be at least july before that happens.
Nice pile 'o stank there Greg!
What's Cat say/do when one of those big gar comes floppin in the boat!?
RLM
Okay, I'll bite....what are 'noodles' and what do they do? Are they illegal?
she was hiding up on the deck... she didn't want any part of the gar! Lol!Quote:

Yep. Last year saw a couple cleaning fish in their boat on the otherside of the lake away from dock and ramp. I doubt they were leaving any skin on to identify the fish. Or how big. Bass have to 18" before keeping.
