Today's activities

After I went to 2 doctor's officies today, these went in the water today at Old River http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...ps13990ed5.jpg

Along with this http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...ps83a0621c.jpg

1st fish of the year

Caught on Funky Chicken http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1feb3229.jpg

501Mooney87 caught this pig, 2.5 lb, biggest fish either of us have caught at Old River EVER http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...ps717379e2.jpg

And after the day was done, we ended up with 19 keepers (I use that term lightly). I noticed once we got back to the landing several of the fish had shrunk. I probably got excited and kept a few fish that were under my personal size restrictions, but they will sure make good fish chips tomorrow night.

Good job. What a way to start the year!

I thing about going out there on the old river soon, maybe next week if all work out.

Old river in Georgetown?

Watch out dropping can be addicting.

Nice structure!

Are there any public boat ramps on that lake?

Is that lake private? Last year I saw a lot of people fishing there around a ramp on the bank, but it seems like there were signs there before that it was private.

Nice job.

Caught my biggest bass off that exact dock. And a bunch of other nice ones thru the years too.

I got a fix for that, I carry a pair of those measuring boards you drop fish in to measure. Any under 10'' get a free pass.:fish

Its private.

I havent been on it in a long time but we used to wear the catfish out on yo yo's and also caught alot of pretty nice bream once they started hittin' the beds.

I never did much good on the crappie. We'd catch some but they tended to be on the small side.

There are no public ramps on the lake. In fact, if you don't have permission, some folks can get quite pissy with you. The fishing is heating up out there, saw several with good stringers yesterday, and water temp was 51 at 5:00pm.

I understand people getting upset if it is private. Do you buy into a club, buy a pass, or do you have to own land on the lake? Not trying to be nosey, just looks like good fishing and it is close.

You have to know a someone or own land there.

Alright, thanks for the information.

Headed out after worktoday to see if anybody has moved into those "fish houses" we droped on Monday. I am also planning another 2 stake buckets to another spot.

Watch for an update after dark.

501money87 is holding a nice slab! Great trip guys. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
