They been catching plenty of fish. Wall to wall boats. Got a C.C fruit jar tourney this weekend. Just look for a cluster of boats and get amongst them.
Up here we are trolling and doing well. Are they shallow?Quote:

I know but its sad.... Fishing has gotten so money oriented that anglers tend not to help each other out.... It is what it is I guess.
TroyB ima help you out! Check your PM's.
best I can tell you is put a hook in the water, fish being caught all over the lake from shallow to deep. Any way you fish will produce. If you are needing specific areas, there are quite a few really good guides down here
I fished Washington this past weekend and you really could catch fish just about anywhere on the lake. We were catching the bigger females in about 10-12 fow fishing 8-10 deep. We caught the bigger numbers in about 4-6 fow. The guys long lining were catching the heck out of them. We pushed double minnow rigs all weekend. If you are going to be fishing with minnows you might want to buy enough to last you all weekend as soon as you arrive. Roy's and Baits-N-Thang's both ran out this past Sunday morning, although they weren't out for long. Hope this helps and good luck!
I may have seen you out there, I was in the camo center console xpress long liningQuote:

Did they prefer any certain size minner? Last year they wanted about a 2" minner.Quote:

We fished Washington Saturday and Sunday. Like others have posted you could catch fish at all water depths. Some were single pole jig fishing and catching males around cypress trees.
Saturday was a little tough for us we mainly fished straight minnows and teasers with minnows. Marked lots of fish and shad, caught nice fish just not many.
Sunday was much better, fished jigs tipped with minnows, best colors for us was blue and white, pink and chartreuse. Fished 3 spots on lake at different depths, we caught fish at each location but the sweet spot for us was 12 to 14 FOW range, fishing with about the same amount of line out. Fished seemed to hit better for us with more speed so baits were running shallower. Some others have mentioned that long liners were doing well, we noticed that also so we just let more line out and bumped the speed up.
Expect lots of boat traffic and company! Good Luck!
Bandchaser,the minnows we got Friday at Roy's were pretty small, but it seems we caught more fish on them than the bigger minnows we got from Baits-N-Thang's on Sunday morning. I will say you get more bang for your buck on minnows at Baits-N-Thangs, no disrespect to Mrs. Pam or her staff, but Bait's-N-Thangs were very generous with their minnow count.Quote:

Mo'Money, I did see you out there. That is a sweet rig you've got buddy. Why did you choose that boat over a glass boat? I've started looking at up grading boats a little and can't make up my mind on exactly what I want.Quote:
