So far I have no weekend plans. I have some humps marked on the GPS that I am going to check out as soon as the wind will let me north of Wigganon bridge. Park Ranger that I have been building a new house for, says that Capps and Coleman were fishing middle of the lake N of Wigganon. That area rarely gets fished at all. I think C and C do their homework and fish areas that most never hit. I can't wait to butt heads with them. I wish to hell I could get entered for next month. I think I can place without a partner. Park Ranger also told me that a friend of his has been catching some 2lbers off the recently placed brush at Spencer Creek. BR and I know where 18 of the piles are at. Their were 96 placed that day, and the Ranger told me that not all of them got marked. And that it was on purpose, the people on the boat didn't want them marked so they would be the only ones to know where they were. But, BR and I know most of the areas that other boats dropped their loads. Hawthorne is ok, but, it has so much recreational traffic. I will fish the area once the jetskiers are gone. But for now, the middle/upper end suits me fine.
If I join CAST, can I launch my boat anywhere on the lake? I would be screwed if I had to launch at Hawthorne. My 50hp would take forever to cruise to my favorite areas.
I am going Saturday, and Sunday. Cell is 850-2642, stick me in your cell phone and give me a call sometime while you are on the water. I may stop by Hawthorne camping area Satuday after fishing.
