I'm taking the day off to go fishing this Friday. I was thinking about going over to Choctaw and was wondering if anyone had been going over there and if they had any success. Also, if anyone would like to go with me they are welcome because I'll be going solo. Hill Creek and that area is a possibility also.
Wish I could join you but I have got to do the work thing. It sure gets in the way of my fishing.Quote:

I'd have been there in a heart beat. I'm still saving up the $ to get that silly trailer of mine squared away.
I caught 8 crappie and one large mouth. Lost 3 crappie. Caught them on Rootbeer, Black Splatterback, and Tennessee Shad Bandit 300's. It was an awesome day. I ended up giving the crappie to a gentleman sitting on the bank. He had been there all morning and hadn't caught much of anything. He was proud to have them and even gave me a God bless you. So, I've got that going for me.Quote:

We pulled some Bandits and Grave Diggers along the bluff on the southside of the narrows. I knew this area would be beat up by the traffic. But, it was handy to the camp. Caught 4 crappie and 6 bass; one was about 3 lbs. Fortunately, a teen that rarely gets to go fishing caught him. After we took pictures and dressed him, the boy told me to put him "in the pot" for the annual family fish fry in a couple of months.
BTW
There is a couple of land slides near the SE point of that bluff. Around them, I don't know if we found buried debris or somebodies brush piles. But, the fish were really stacked in there. I wished we had more time to explore more.
