SQUAW CREEK?

How soon is too soon to start fishing tournaments there? I know some guys are catching them pretty good rt now?

There are some fish beign caught but in a pretty small area.

Hard to get 30-50 boats onto one spot.

I would say about OCT 1st or so, that way the bite is more spread out and its not 100 degree steam room

Yeah, I'm not quite ready to be in line at 3 am just yet. Oct 1 sounds pretty good.

Problem last year was several dead bass at weigh-in for first couple of tournaments. I believe one of the units goes into a refueling outage in early October. That should help it cool down way faster.

First or second weekend in October. Definitely need to figure out something with dead fish this year so this place doesn't get blown up with "how dare" you kill a bass post! I'm ready to fish Jimmy

A guy I know has been catching some good fish all summer. I have no interest in fishing 45 to 60 foot! Lol I'll start donating in a couple months.

Hey Chris how is your buddy catching them at squaw that deep?

If a fish is ify about living if released just eat it. Doesn't get wasted and bass taste awesome.

on the 3rd of OCT one unit goes down , give it a couple of weeks to cool and should be good to go.

I was out there last weekend and it got kind of boring fishing in the same spot for 5 hours... water is still hot

Husband was there today. Caught almost 50 bass in the 2-3 lb range. Fun stuff.

Has nothing to do with the question. But I'm ready.

Just thought I'd share this.

Don't feed the troll

Says the troll!

Went today. Water temp at the river was 88 to 89 early and 97 to 98 south.

And how were the talipa biting?

someone could take a cast net and I'm convinced they wouldn't get it back in the boat cause it weighed so much.

Champion 1 and I caught 102 bass today at Squaw. Heavy 3 was the biggest but it was fun!

We saw a boat with 3 Asians throwing a net! They were hooting and hollering ever time they pulled up the net. Their boat was full of talapia!

They told us that they netted a 30" bass and put it back in!

Also saw two platform boats shooting Talapia with bows! A lot of action for 10 or so boats in the water!

I heard him tell you that and wondered if he threw back a 30lb bass.

It was fine, everyone will be on top of each other another but that's how it be at Squaw.

Laundrymat called an says your MIA

They are need of your quarters...

I checked your spot today.

Hopefully it was a Dead Sea like it was two weeks ago

The few that were there seemed lonely so I moved them.

You haven't even figured out how to fish that spot after 3 months of trying. Lol

Just follow me and Lewis. We leave a lot of fish behind. Lol

It's bad when you can't see the way points cause your trails over it black out the whole screen. I had to clear them today.

I don't really understand I guess ???? Squaw Creek is power plant lake with much higher temperature water, right? Now, please don't give me that old line of "fish gotta eat"...I thought bass would be in the cool temperature waters down VERY deep and not feeding actively.....
So what am I missing here? Honest...
God Bless

It fishes different than normal lakes. Last year this time we were catching them good shallow with 95 degree water temps for almost two weeks.

Thanksgiving

?? Wait until Thanksgiving to fish there??
sorry, but before I spend all that money to launch and fish there, along with a reservation and the longgggggggggg drive, I need all the info I can get...
God Bless

you can go upriver now and catch fish... but... going up river is crowded with stumps so you will need to experiment overthere or have someone here post a safe path to get there..i would share if i have it but i have not been upriver yet..

It's fairly simple to navigate now. They have marked the channel with orange boeys. Just idle through and you'll do fine. The creek is a top spot on the lake but that's if you want to put up with all of the boat traffic.

So if u wait u will miss out on some good fishing at times, it was real good from Sept to may this year for the most part, as far as the reservations no big deal, as far as 30.00 to launch, I probably pd 800.00 to fish it last year, in ramp fees a lone, I promise once u put a little time in you won't be disappointed.

I wished all I spent was $800 for ramp feels last year out there....

kudos for this... i did know it is now marked....:)
