Thinking of making my first trip there this weekend. Trying to decide on the day. Do y'all think the heavy winds out of the SW on Saturday or the lighter winds out of the NE Sunday would be better? Also, do y'all think they're still in the trees?
Thanks!!!
Lighter winds are always better on Washington, unless you're fishing the woods, then a southwest wind wouldn't be bad.
I appreciate it and that's exactly what I was thinking. I do want to fish the woods. Do you think they're still spawning there?Quote:

Thank you very much. Is he driving elsewhere because the fish aren't biting there or because of the wind? What do you think about a NE wind like is predicted Sunday?
Due to wind, NE has some places to hide, but in the trees it shouldn’t be as bad as in the middle of the lake. Anything 10-15 unless West or east will produce some good wave action all the way down the lake

High winds there is no lake I've been on that allows u to fish more comfortably than Washington. I fished a tournament 4 years ago and the wind was straight line 30 mph with gusts in the mid 40's. Thank the Lord we were on Washington. If your gonna fish the trees I wouldn't worry about it. Just go fishing and hope you enough for supper.
2 words Alligator Hole
Thank you sir. I think that's exactly where I'll be saturday at sunrise. They been catching em back there?Quote:

not a clue but I've had to fish it a few times just to get out of the wind. Caught fish in there to.

It may not help you if the wind is as high as they say but, I caught 15 good fish trolling 6.5' of water about 100 yards out from the trees.
Recently? I'll be there bright and early tomorrow morning.Quote:

Yea it doesn't look great. How bad do you think it'll be out there? I was thinking about going to Grenada and wading in the woods. You think that's a better option?Quote:

Yesterday. They didn't bite until about 3:00 just like when I went last week. Talked to a couple of guys that had 10 in the trees.Quote:

Good luck finding a spot to launch at Grenada with the Masters this weekend

You can get a 20 ft boat into the gator hole, no problem.
I fished the trees in the north end and found just a few small males. They are very scattered and few and far between. Trash (tree blooms) had the water around the duck blind cluttered up, making it hard to fish. I would give it a few more days, if you have a backup fishing hole that the high water hasn't messed up.
Plenty of room yesterday. You could find a place. Grenada landing was less than half full.Quote:
