Tekville
I'd ask on the Mississippi board.:twocents
I must admit to being a dummy too. I've balked at making the drive to Sardis because I wouldn't have any idea where to start...
east end of the lake has stumps for the single pole folk, the whole danm lake is good for the spider feller's. when / if you go you should see several other boats, do like they do! now remember 1 thing............... this lake will get plum nasty, I mean by gosh rough !! east wind will sink you if your in a smaller boat !! also check the top of the miss. page for the reg's and follow em....... they got plenty of green jeaned fellers on the payroll and carry large amounts of ticket writeing materials... not to say they are over zealous at all , but they do a better job of not only enforcing, but also providing resources !! #bonolake, bwahahahaha !!
Did I catch a little #bonolake bitterness there?
dblevins, go east young man. Get up in the timber on east end of lake. Plenty of stuff to fish.
Tony come on over. Not really a hard lake to fish even Joekiller can catch fish on it:Rofl.
Both of you and anyone else never fished it before, pay attention to what Joekiller said. That lake can hurt you in a hurry when the wind gets up. East wind is worst. Engineers point is best place to launch when wind is up.
I've heard Despain can catch a big one over there as well. If he got one of those new fangled satellite trolling motors, no fish will be safe. Don't know if he gives free tips.
Thanks everyone. Apparently, I need to be fishing on the east side of the lake. And Apparently, the cabin we got rented is on the west end. Yep, this is gonna be one of them trips.
naw naw naw.... it's alright.. now remember on the way to tekville, don't stop at the first store on the right ; its the second store !!Quote:

Depending on direction much over 10 mph can pucker me up in a 17 ft express at times. Anything approaching 20 and I stay home, Back in bass tourney days it was common to see swamped glass boats. It can come up in a hurry and change direction in a heartbeat. If it is that windy Enid might be a better choice.
Pass up teckville drive on down to Wyatt's crossing put in there. Doesn't matter if the lake is there or if the river is there you can launch either way. Don't put in at engineers and boat ride to the east end it's about 15 miles. Too much water to travel with a west wind. 10-15 mph has 4' rollers at 10-12' apart. Stumps and trees everywhere you can have a bad day quick. So don't put in far from a ramp fish on east end launch on east end. Teckville is about 5 miles from Wyatt's.
pm ez poleholder and order a spyder lock trolling rack just to b prepared. If it gets to windy you can put in at engineers and troll bac in there or along the dam in about any wind ( damm would be hard with a east wind) your jig poles will work if they are 10 feet long at least and not rear seats. A few c&C is all you need. We went last year and I dont know what the wind speed was but it was nasty out there. Tecville I saw one boat go on the trailer completely sideways,pickups were backed in over their back wheels,so yes it can ger nasty and I was wanting to launch but wife said no way.
thanks for the heads up good info
Tekville is a hot spot!
