It was happening last year also. I pulled up to my honey hole and there were 3 boats already there, they GPS me the day before, so I waited a respectable distance, Dan you know how far, fishing where I was setting waiting for them to leave. If I had been there and they encroached on me it would have been a different story, that's why I didn't get very close to them. When they left, I pulled in and started throwing my secret weapon and slayed them. They could see me and boy did they look mad. This happened more than once and all I could think was, Welcome to the new world of electronics.

Since were ranting here......There's a lot of guys down there that are not using any common sense either. On two occasions I was fishing main lake points that literally have a foot or less of water with ROCK bottoms just outside the bushes and had guys drive under power between me and the Edge of the point I was fishing. On both occasions we yelled and screamed and waved our hands at them because if I didn't they were going to be buying a new lower unit or having some major fiberglass work being done. Part of me wanted to let them trash their chit for their rudeness but in good conscience I am not that kind of guy. That lake has an unbelievable amount of pressure on it right now, barely eaked out 25lbs on the one day in 3 that it didn't blow, but there's a boat it seems on every point or rock pile.

I don't like what I'm hearing in this thread, I think it's time we all take a stand and quit fishing Falcon. It's to far away, wind always a problem, can't catch a 40#stringer anymore. The lake will be a dry hole by the time you get there. Strangers from the north are hurting the fishing. Not to mention bodies floating around and constant gun fire from the west shoreline. Just no reason to go down there anymore. Listen to your wives and girl friends, they no what's best for you. Fish Fork.....Forget Falcon. I agree. I witnessed at least 3 cartel gun fights this weekend. Everyone should stay away

Last year may have been the last harrah for a few years. Here it is guys. I'm going to be honest with you. This lake is not magical like it was the past few years. I'm dead serious. Ive been catching monsters, but I'm burning a full tank of gas a day and literally driving 100 miles a day on the water doing so. The days of catching 20-30 fish on one spot are non existent and that is the problem that everyone is having. I've had 2 separate big schools of fish since I have been here for 3 weeks. BTW Bass Champs reports are similar its all 1 fish here another there. Hate to break it to you, but those magical days of giants schools may be done with. Very sad. The fishing may pick up. 50/50 but I would not be surprised if conditions remained the same. As in newbies only catching less than a handful of fish a day and guides only catching 15-20 a day with 3 people in the boat. And BTW the most disturbing and saddening thing of all is the magnum fluke bite is DEAD as in non existent and that is the truth. The magnum Fluke and Falcon were hand and hand and everyone who has ever fished this lake knows that. It's dead for who knows how long or if it ever does come back...
