Are you talking Midway at Hughes? If you are, while you're taking care of work the carp will be taking care of Midway.
carp are everywhere!!!!!!
A lot of the big Corps lakes are still void but I don't think they will stay that way. All the oxbows on the Mississippi and White
around are being destroyed by them as far as fishing for game fish goes.
Whats wrong with the COE lakes?Quote:

Ok, I'm wrong again. Dang.
Not wrong and didn’t mean to imply that. It’s a pain to deal with them, but there’s no reason not to fish the oxbows. We’ve just got to get used to dealing with the problem and adapt to it. It isn’t going away in our lifetime.Quote:

See what you started Gomer.
Grew up at midway on the weekends. Parents had a cabin. I remember cooler fulls of big bream and catfish from trot lines. I went crappie fishing 2 years ago and not a bite between 4 boats. Mr Lynn Perry and his wife used run the campground. Fond memories as a young kid running around!!

that\s what I do best. Still figure if the river gets to 21 ft again I can fill the cooler with catfish. At least I am gonna give it the college try.Quote:

it's a 50/50 mixture, just dribble a little over the minnows and they tear it up.
Trolling? I just single pole so if so, I'm no threat! :)
Yep Trolling, but with the hotter weather, things have slowed down since it is so shallow there.
