Starting my bass season on Friday!

Robby,
Get yourself a white #5 Mepps and let it fly. Lake is basically a bowl and you will be fishing riprap. Get there early due to the lot filling fast and parking is at a minnimum. Don’t forget to take a look at the board by the ramp. There should be a little sign stating what time you have to be off the lake. I missed this sign last year and a friendly brush cop was waiting for us when I pulled off the lake. Being from out of town was not a good enough excuse for him to cut us a break. Have also had good luck on a mustard colored tube.

Thanks for the tip, we are leaving my house at 4:00 A.M. should take us less than two hours to get down there. You have to be off the lake by 4:00p.m. this time of year. I support out conservation officers. No other cop around runs towards a vehicle in hopes of catching the occupants with an uncased or unloaded gun. Think about it. All of the laws are here for a reason. Some dumb butt messed it it for rational/logical people. I will try the mustard. Thanks– Robby

Thanks a hole lot for taking your boat out of storage Rob . Let’s see, it’s raining with snow mixed in and winds out of the NE @17mph .
P.S. I must have taken a wrong turn to get to this forum.

Powerton did not treat us well at all. It rained the entire time we were there. The fishing was slow, but a few fish were caught. So size to brag about. I may try it again this coming week. Just about noon the wind picked up and changed directions. The lake swelled and the waves were coming over the sides on my boat. We got out of there. I can say this though, the other people fishing there were all very friendly. Gotta admit this though, I needed a fishing fix and got it. Life is good!

theres a guy on the bass pro shops forum named strip pit bassen. he lives down there and fishes powerton alot. he keeps a long every day he goes out and has pictures of all his fish and what he uses and catches him on. i just went and found his website for u. http://www.bassinblog.blogspot.com/
he usually fishes from shore but i guess its better than nothing

Fishermanpepin, thanks! I am thinking about heading back down there this Thursday. Maybe things will be better this time. Could not get a whole lot worse. lol.
