I just wanted to take a moment to share our great fishing day. So, a buddy and I went to Monticello today to nab whatever bass we could round up. Knowing that bad weather makes for good fishing there, we were excited. We had the weather combo today including cloudy, light breeze, then partly sunny and warming up, then drizzle, cold high winds, etc. Anyway, we got to the ramp early to find that we were the only ones there. Actually, we ended up being the only boat at the lake for the entire day. We had Monti all to ourselves. At the end of the day we had caught 12 bass ranging from 2 lbs up to 7 lbs. What a great day! Here are a few pics.

7.2 LB




4.0 LB




6.3 LB

We sat at the outflow and caught a bunch of small fish on c-rigs. IT was actually a pretty good time.

Interesting. What do they consider the "line"? Common sense would say that the white bouy and the first fence post is the "line". There is no marker on the shore that shows where the "line" is. Where you inside of that? What kind of ticket was it and how much?

I was there a couple of weeks ago when the game warden rolled up and handed out a couple of warnings at the discharge for that very reason. He explained that the boundary runs in a line from the last buoy to the point.

The point? That is rediculous. I think if they are going to hand out warnings or tickets, then they need to officially mark the area. An imaginary "line" can be interpreted in a million different ways.

I wish we got a warning ticket. Yes, apparently from the last buoy to the bank is the restricted area. We got a ticket...not a warning for fishing between the last buoy and the bank. We havent gotten the final amount of how much it will be...mostly because my parter is lazy, but it will not be cheap. I thought the area was open on either end, but its not, so be careful out there fellas.

Oh, the warden said it is illegal to tie up to the buoys also. ridiculous, i know, but just want everyone to be aware of the possibility.
