See the link below. Doubt fishing is worth much of anything but it will be cool to get out there and scan and mark structure and contours.
It does have a 30 fish limit of crappie with a 9" minimum....with this being a young, 640 acre body of water, what are the best practices for harvesting fish this early?

Seems like I remember someone posting pictures a while back when they where building that lake. Should not take long for the crappie to populate a lake that size

Let me know if you have room and want to give it a try when it cools off a little. Couldn’t have worse luck than I’ve had on catoma. Lol

Iam guessing itz pretty well stocked of crappie in the lake since there is a 30 limit for crappie and only 20 for bluegill..
Sure thing. I plan to try to get another sonar unit soon that has Autochart Live so I can start mapping the contours while it's hot. Maybe rig up a homemade bimini top too to keep out of the sun. I probably won't fish much either until it cools off some, however, the reason I'm excited about this lake is that I can be at the launch in less than 10 min from my house which makes after work fishing trips much easier on me so maybe I can get on it a couple times a week in the cooler evenings.Quote:

Yes. I think there was a few hundred thousands of dollars worth underwater. They recovered most of it I believe.Quote:

LOL. Hopefully some with Mega Sideimaging can get in there and scan the bottom near the dam...may produce some interesting screenshots!Quote:
