That's better RDJJ, the guests look like they had a big time!! Sorry Ranger but we have seen your pic before. LOL

open for new reports...

Fished Gibson yesterday. Water temp 41 degrees. Lake is still very muddy from the high water. Lake is about 1ft high. Didn't have any luck finding fish. I fished the fourteen mile Creek erea for probably 4 hrs.

I fished for a short time on Saturday noon in the boat slips, didn't do any good either and the fellow that had fished earlier that morning was the same story so I'm told. With a warming trend coming in later this week I'm going to go back and see what happens with that, only thing the wind will be gust 20 - 25 so we'll see.

I went to Gibson today with the Manger Of Tracker Service at Bass Pro to verify my Nitro Z9 trailer is built wrong, making loading the boat a time consuming 5 star headache! First we go to Rocky Point at 10 am to launch. Gate is across the road. The corp has it shut down due to trees all over from high water and 2 inches of mud in the entire Rocky Point Boat Parking lot and ramp area. This is where we had the 2014 Fall Camp. Next we head to Sequoyah Bay. Oops, the road to that ramp was closed too. It seems the Restaurant and west side boats slips came unhinged in the flood and drifted to the east. SO we head to Paradise Cove. NO problem. The Manger of Tracker Service attempted to load my boat in dead calm conditions 6 times. He finally had to hand winch it on the trailer even though the 250 Merc was running perfectly as always. Bottomline I will either get the existing trailer modified by Tracker Marine owners of Nitro or I will get a new trailer. Ranger and Crappiepappa have witnessed the mess of attempting to get that my Z9 on the trailer in one try. The boat will not center on the trailer because the center bunk boards are too close together. Yippee as I will get this problem finally addressed! Water was very muddy at Paradise Cover. Like chocolate. Water temp was 48.

A maladjusted trailer can really be a pain!! Glad you are making progress.

Thanks Redge. This has been going on since day one. I am really glad Nitro is giving it a serious look over. The customer service rep at Nitro asked the Manager of Tracker Service to take my boat from Paradise Cove boat ramp parking lot directly to Bass Pro. So we unhooked it from my truck. He hooked it to the Tracker Marine Tundra and took it in saving me time and gas!

Fished Gibson yesterday evening around 4:30 to 5:00 didn't have long to fish since I was in the area on other business. Did catch a few dinks in the slips, which was fun and better than working. All were just right under the dock in about 1 to 2 fw, never got bit any deeper tried down to 18 to 20 fw but no luck. Water is still pretty dirty with less than a 1 foot visibility.
