than butla. Me and the little honey went out for a couple of hours this evening. Caught one (was a keeper) then I couldn't understand why I wasn't catchn more--well couldn't keep speed up--batteries are toast. Gonna have to pony up and get new uns.Attachment 88159
You pulling cranks or longlining?
pulln ity bitty cranks
its about 3ft deep right there
Don't give up on the cranks. Find deeper water.
Go get batts, you know the ones and you wont regret it. See you found a deep hole in that mud flat!!Rofl
actually pulln there on purpose. Fish were all over--only reason I didn't get more was due to the batts going down too quick. About the deepest part of butla now is at bayou pt ramp--a 8ft deep hole :) the rest is no more than 6ft deep or so on the bp side. I was shocked how much it was down from 2 weeks ago.
There will be some more water bout Tuesday
yep know the one's--was just seeing how far I could push these:) knew they were bout done at Sardis last week.Quote:

I have stood knee deep in the middle of that lake, its crazy how shallow it is at times and how quickly it fills up, last year got crazy quick.

yeah---last year was my first time on it and I thought that was the way it normally was:bash little did i know.
I do hate having to drive all the way round the lake to put in. I live not 6mins from hernando pt. Could get to Sardis by the time i can get to bayou pt almost
Then I would go to Sardis rite now. I am in the same situation here on Grenada, can have my boat in Enid quicker than I can Grenada. Now when the water is rite I can be pulling cranks in about 20 minutes or so of leaving the house.
yep--house to water on Sardis 45 minutes at the most I believe.
If ya put in at bp should have go across the lake about 200yds to the rt of cane cr and fish real slow with minners.Butla is not that good with cranks in low water.If everything goes good tues.with the nerve block,about thurs. gonna launch the silver streak and see what i can do.
Trying to get ready for next months FJS.......pffffttttt
Torch is right though, that lake is crazy. When I was out there the other day some fool was water sking in 3' of water....
If we dont get some water pretty soon i dont think they will have the fj on butla.Quote:

Good luck Jim.
They are siltin in and a lot of the creek channels have disapeared. Drawdown causes bank erosion after heavy rain and water pressure on the banks is what keeps them there. The CORP is the real reason for the silting!!They need to do a better job of constant interpretation of upcoming rainfall and adjust each lake accordingly.Whats gonna happen in the future? They gonna have to dredge these lakes?

I dont think we will see a change in the management of the COE lakes as far as the Big Four is concerned. Its frustrating but it is what we have to deal with.
Butla last year was a prime example of flood control, was absolutely crazy the way it jumped. It is effected more by an inch of rain up river than the others but they all have to stay down this time of year as to not flood. Weather patterns have changed some but I have see Grenada jump 7 foot in a few days, can happen quick and their purpose is to hold it back off the Delta.
Scuna river and Turkey Creek are almost non-existant where they join, completely filled in and its just gonna get worse. Four wheel drives and four wheelers just out playing in the mud dont help any at all.
Yep Rees, the CORP don't want to get caught with their pants down, so they just drained them all!!Seems like the easiest way to do it!!It's just frustrating!

Oh I understand the Frustration well, too well some years and am afraid this is gonna be one of em. I hate Choctaw, Gums is too stumpy for my glass boat, and I doubt Bryant sees enuff water to launcha nd seriously doubt that you will be able to run out of Bryant this year even if you can launch.
