Is the dock in at the lower lake public ramp?

[hey__bob]

There are no docks in at all at the lake accesses. The fishing seemed pretty good out there yesterday. I was the MC at the crappie event yesterday and I can tell you that is the most bags of nice fish that we have ever had during this event. Thanks to you guys for joining us yesterday!!!!

My daughters (4 and 5) were out with me during the tournament. They had a good time even in the rain. We caught a lot of fish, but we were focusing mostly on the sunnies. I tried fishing a little, but I mainly had to focus on the kids. We caught over 100 sunnies and 6 crappies (3 of which were tiny). Kids sure had a ball catching the sunnies though.

The grab bags for the kids had some great stuff in them. Someone put in a lot of time and effort putting that thing together.

Very well run and fun for all.

Thanks.

Thanks for the praises Wastewater! We do put a lot of effort into this get together and every year it gets bigger and better..it is just fun to see all the kids. We had over 100 kids this year....I had put together 100 grab bags and they were all handed out, I had to give the last few to sign up hats instead. We will be back again next year!!!

Went out to Prior yesterday for some shore fishing for the first time this year. But started out fishing on the dock off of Eagle Creek Dr. Using a green curltail under a float about 3.5'. From the center of the dock we would just cat straight out as far as possible and slowly reel back. Out of the four of us we probably caught about 40 crappies, most were small but we did end up keeping about 15 between 9.5"-11". Still it was a good day to be out and the fishing was good. There is a good amount of people down there shore fishing, but they mainly stick to the channel mouth.

Good luck

WWG, email me I'll give you a buzz if I'm around your area.
