Is fishing picking up on the big lake? Gonna be nice this weekend and thinking of making the 5 hour drive but I heard its still pretty slow.
Ive been the past two weekends and havent found much patten yet. Very long runs pushing between keepers. Id also be interested to see if anyone has done much good.Quote:

I think biggest reason your not seeing a lot of posts is not a lot of people fishing and from folks I have talked to even less catching. And more rain is not going to help much in the short term. When I don’t see a bunch of guys posting here or on Facebook I know it’s slow. I’d give it a couple of weeks if it was me.
Thanks Cray, I will hold off for a bit, hope y’all don’t get much rain in the next couple of weeks but it’s that time of year
Fish are being caught.

Transition time. Theyre scattered. Lots of fish caught this weekend but big ones are hard to find.

No big ones. Big mature girls probably dump eggs deep if the lake keeps dropping 3” a day. Act boys looking hard for them big girls.
Water dropping and steady rain???? The sho nuff riff raff are fishing from buzzard roost to Starnes Ditch!

Going up the Little Tallahatchie where the river has 2 cuts just before where Spring Creek comes into the Reservoir from the north.

I am guessing the coordinates are within 200 yards of ditch. The water was muddy and I was unable to mark stumps used for navigation!

Last year I found several catfish slat traps by sound of fish! The water was falling fast and traps were slam full of 13" eel skins catfish.

I did impress 1 young fisherman I carried fishing. He wondered how I could track the cheese smell.

I remember the starnes used to run the catfish place in Abbeville. Was a popping place in it's time. It's fit to be demoed now, a former shell of it's glory days.

Shouldn't be any ACT tournament guys out there now. They are on a 30 day off limit rule according to the ACT. They can't practice or prefish until 4 days ahead of the tournament. The tournament is the 26th start date so that leaves them a couple more weeks. Not saying cheaters aren't abundant, just pointing it out. Hopefully ACT has spotters in place, be embarrassing to get disqualified after a supposed victory for breaking minor rules.. ! Guess Grenada off limits soon, very nice for us weekend warriors anyhow [emoji23]Quote:

They were out there ran into them Friday Saturday Sunday Monday they told me off limits was this past Wednesday. They never found the big ones.
Snubby, only a 10 day off limit per 2019 rules for ACT Classic @ Sardis. Next years rules (2020) go into effect with the 30 days off limits. March 11th is beginning off of limits..Quote:

Pretty slow day, north wind 10 mph, cold front came thru, wound up with 13 keepers, beat staying home. I will say that leaving STL AT 3:15am, fishing until 4:00pm, and driving home, makes for a long day!Quote:
