Went to a spot where I found some gills a couple months ago looking for crappie. Not so much luck today. Found some good gills just here and there. Did find a spot where I caught around 20 little bitty shell cracker. I’ve never caught any this small. Couldn’t find any bigger ones. I eased up to a patch of pads and just eased a slider down in there. Kaboom. Bass. He felt much bigger than he was. Not a lot of good fish but still a fun day.

Forgot to mention,if you go on swan and a gate is closed don’t open it and drive through. Long story. Lol

He comes up and said this gate was shut you weren’t supposed to be back there and points to a sign on a tree. I said well I didn’t know it wasn’t locked. He said I’m trying to be nice but the game warden is on his way and he may not be so nice. But since I’m being nice you better leave before he gets here. He said he was building a new levy back there. So I just said thank you sir and left kinda quickly. Lol

Dewatering areas are off limits when gates are closed.

They’ve got beulah bay road blocked permanently now. I made the drive wanting to fish there a while back for nothing. So I wasn’t gonna be stopped this time. Lol. And I was nowhere close to the dewatering area. They should set up something blocking the road close to where he’s working. Just my opinion.

I have a better story for you. The Wheeler Game Wardens told me if the gate is open the area is accessible to vehicles, closed it's not. If you continue past Arrowhead Landing there's a road that continues to a slough under I-65 just north of the Tennessee river. I'd fished it several times by walking my kayak down the road behind the gate on a little cart, but on that day the gate was wide open. I drove down, parked where I didn't block the road and had a great day fishing. I load up to leave and when I get back to the gate it's locked where I can't get out. I call 911 to explain the situation (didn't know who else to call) and a Wheeler Game Warden drives in to let me out. He live an hour away so it took a while. The short version is the farmers that have the land leased were working the fields and left the gate open. They are required to close and lock the gates behind them. When they left, they drove right past my truck and locked me in and went home!
I'd bet you had a similar situation. Construction required to close and lock the gate, but took a shortcut and didn't latch the lock.
While I was fishing it did cross my mind that it might be locked when I started back. Lol. I really didn’t mean to do anything wrong. I was just wanting to fish. LolQuote:

Even small fish are fun. Glad to hear you were able to escape without incident with the man in green.
