"i went fishing at Pleasant today, there was like no fish at the shallow open part of the main lake.the break offs have.bass of all kinds,catfish only babies,and alot of panfish.didnt have the best day of fishing but it was good"

Fished Castle Creek on 1-8-2012 anchored in 36ft of water with drop offs on one side to deeper water and one side to shallow water. Best bite is noon to sunset. Use frozen achoives, Body parts only, no head no tails. Cut into pieces (should be able to get 2 to 3 pieces per anchovie) on 8lb clear line, with Eagle Claw # 4 snell hooks and split shot. Dont get fancy with your rigs.. its simple stuff here! Put the split shot 2 inches from the hook on the snell line. Fish different depths to find the fish. Try going all the way to the bottom and reel it up one or two cranks right off the bottom. I personally been catching 10 to 15 per trip in the 2 to 4lb range and even some channel cats in the 4 to 5lb range!! Where can I upload my photos!!

Remember the game and fish don\'t want catch and release on strippers. Take all of them with you. They are great eating, very mild not fishy at all if prepared right. In my family we like them breaded with zanatrans fish fry found in any store and fried in a little peanut oil. We like to fillet thems.

"Knocked Em Dead! My Borther and I caught 63 Striper last night just within a half mile of the boat launch! 10+ were in the 3-5 lb range. Caught and released most. Did bring a few home that swallowed the hooks. Will be my first time eating Striper tonight, wish me luck. Only our second time out on the lake, but we seem to have found a pattern. We used sumbrsible lights right off the side of the boat, starting at sunset. Plankton, minnows and shad were circling light within the hour. Surrounded by baitfish, we used Big Toe size chunks of anchovies on bait hooks with a carolina rig. Sink your rig straight down until you hit bottom, and then begin a slow rise until you find the depth where they are suspending. Fast action from there on out. Very light bite. Must keep slack out of your line or you'lll lose your bait in a second. Have to be ready to set the hook on first strike. Please consider future fishing in the lake! I have 2 boys 3 & 5yrs, lets keep our lake full of fish and throw back those lunkers for future generations! Support Catch and release! Cheers! Corona Bob Shannon"

"Went fishing on northwest cove yesterday. Fish didn't seem to be biting at all even though they were very active after dark. Tried using spinners, crankbait, worms, and anchovies. Few nibbles and nothing caught. Oh well. Try again another day."
