I thought I would give my results after starting this thread. Fished Friday and Saturday. 4 of us had limits both days. Didn't keep any under 10" either day. Fished in 1'-3' of water, used black...

Sounds like the timing might be good or at least worth trying. Does anyone know if the old ramp on the Elk fork is under water or useable? I can't remember if 614' puts it under or not.

Gambler - Sounds like you had a good day. Are they on the banks? Any big females yet?

Anyone fish MTL over the weekend? Hoping for hints on where to start and what to do for this weekend. Particularly South or Middle Fork since we are staying near there. Thanks for any help!

I have been wondering about these units too. I just figured you would mount on the trolling motor to see structure while you are fishing. Anybody else using them comment to this?:confused:

Fished Arkabutla last Thursday and Saturday and never got a bite. I would think now that the water has quit rising there might be something happening.

Trick -They are a little ackward to use at first to be able to hold the pump and the jig and still screw the cap. I found it works great to hold the pump with the nozzle straight up then slide the...

Is the water above over the ramp or can you still find it?

It looks like the wind is going to get up again the next few days. Does anyone know if you can put a bass boat in down near Coldwater? Is the water too high for that ramp? Probably too muddy...

It was the spring of 2002. Water was at 232.

Great Pictures! Really gives a feel for the water level.

Any reports from Decatur. I have noticed a few boats out every day and was wondering if anybody is doing anything. I need help deciding whether to hit Decatur or Shelbyville this weekend. Any help...

It is good to see the Wardens out checking fish. It is the only way to protect the population and people need to take this seriously.

Crappie10 - Shouldn't you be heading to Mississippi soon?

I hope you do well there. Have fished several tournaments there and really like the lake. If you don't already know make sure you try where the 3 arms converge on the lake. Fishing those drops has...

Does anyone know if you can rent a boat anywhere near Arkabutla? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks:confused:

Was that weight for 7 or 10 fish?

Does anyone have the weigh in results from the tournament yesterday? Wondered how the low water affected the fishing.

I have never heard anyone publicly blame a partner in a fishing tournament before. Whoever was driving the boat made the final decisions. Buck up.

Spider-Man, The October Grenada tournament is not a regional it is just a fall qualifier. You will still have to fish a regional in the Spring if you qualify. Just didn't want you to think you could...

I don't think a 10 or 15 limit would effect the tourism on the lakes much at all. Most people are coming down to try to catch a big fish. Those that are coming just to fill their freezers aren't the...

Drive a little farther and go to Mark Twain. You may not get big ones but you will catch a lot.

I wish there was a way to make the MDWF read all these posts. There is a lot of people here who really care about the long term value of the fisheries.

10 fish limit. This would reduce the crowds a little and preserve the reputation of the lakes for having the largest crappie in USA.

TCounty - The 600,000 fish caught came from the MDWP web site creel survey. The acreage came from the corp map info. The fish per acre was just a guess but you get the point. It seems we all care...

11" minimum 10 fish total with only 2 can be over 14". This sounds tough but it won't 3 years from now when all three lakes are permanently damaged from fishing pressure. The corp has reported that...

We fished MT last weekend after hearing everyone was getting limits. We fished South Fork, a little bit of the lake and Middle Fork where we usually do pretty good. You can get your limit if you...

ShelbyGuide - I am surprised you are fishing deep this time of year, haven't the fish moved up yet or is it too late. I have heard the water is low. Is that the problem?

Cheating at fishing! The lowest of the low.

I agree with Slab. I have fished the Cutoff many times and heve never had a fish bigger than 2.25 lbs. and that was rare. The cutoff doesn't have the size of fish the other northern MS lakes do. ...
