I wish everyone would go there. It ain’t quite far enough north, but it’s a start.

He means dumb fish that bite for the bank beaters. Their yellow spinnerbaits think it's 1985 again.....

I kinda wish it was 1985 again,

Don't we all......

533.85 @6:56 am this morning.
The first NEW lake I got to fish was Caney in Louisiana and I'll never for get it. Just being around the boat ramps was pretty entertaining. The game wardens just camped out there. Caney was the first lake in Louisiana to have a slot limit; 14-21 like Fork at the time. The general fishing population; even for largemouth bass, was a catch and eat crowd. There was an attitude that "I don't care what kind of limits they pass I'm keeping my fish" and you'd see these guys roll up to the landing in their stick and tiller steer jon boats with an ice chest full of bass and the game wardens walking from boat to boat writing tickets and seizing fish.. By then I'd already jumped on the slot limit/catch and release bandwagon and was fishing bass tournaments and would just watch this and laugh to myself, I rolled up towing a full on bass boat and they wouldn't even check my livewells, just my license and safety equipment. They'd usually always get them for other stuff too.

I sure hope fisherman do not cut down the trees and bushes.

Is that legal? I know some folks down here got in trouble for cutting trees since all our lakes are real low.

That ain't no chit. Look at all the "Ivie experts" who only showed up after Miliken exposed the lake. Those guys from over in East Texas would still be fighting for clientele if Ivie never experienced the New Lake Syndrome. They have done it to all the west Texas lakes. They wait until someone posts something and then all of the sudden the parking lot is full of "Dickhead Guide Service" trucks the next day. Once they kill that pond, it is on to the next. Thomas, Ivie, Oak Creek to name a few.

There are relatively few people that have been discussing those things on TTF. There were over 2 million fishing license sold in Texas this last year.

I think you may be over reacting a tiny bit.

Yeah well I am entitled to my opinion of the matter just as you are to yours.

Almost full -.04.

...and we're there. Now will they open the gates for the "first" time as it moves into the flood pool?

Just got off the lake - looking good!

And it's full... Hopefully they open up those other floating docks next to the other 2 ramps now. (They had them chained off). Anyone know if they are open now?
