when you don't hear any reports, that means that either there's no fish, or the fishing is off the chain and no one wants to spoil it roflmao

Same as your last report. Lots of people fishing too (for being a non weekend day)....and we had good weather and water temperatures were warm. Mixed results all around. I actually agree with killerb's assumption...the run has actually been going on for some time now......I also think we're on the tail end of it....

right on, thanks for the report...thinking about giving it one last shot this weekend before hanging it up for the season...

had another report from another forum along the same lines as yours; a lot of people up there during the week too...seems to me that's a lot of pressure in a concentrated area...wish I had side scan to check other parts of the river besides the places everyone and their dog knows....oh well...

good luck everyone...

that's a really good question, looks like the stream gauge has the water about 10 feet higher than it was last year....it could be really interesting this year!!!

we are getting a new johnboat rig together this year and hope to make it up there in the next coming weeks....

thanks for resurrecting this thread and y'all post up!!!

the 59 bridge can handle fairly good size boat. 24ft Carolina was launched last weekend. or the airport ramp, its a bit shallower than 59.

bahahhaha!! I hear ya loud and clear on that one....a minority of folks at those ramps evidently don't get out much, as they have little to no etiquette when it comes to getting ready BEFORE you approach the ramp....most people are good, but it only takes a couple to jam up the works...

"duct tape can't fix everything, but it can muffle the sound"....LOL

Just so you are aware, that ramp isn't very long, and on the down river side, to your right if you are facing the ramp there is a deep hole that is washed out under the end of the ramp from prop wash from large boats loading, and previous floods over the years.
If you drop your trailer wheel off that ramp you will not be able to pull your trailer out without getting into the water and lifting the trailer up and having someone pull the trailer out while you hold the trailer to clear the ramp.
I had to do that a couple years ago, and I saw a trailer up at the parking area where the entire axle was pulled off because the guy I assume thought he could pull it out with just force.
I had a small 14' boat so a large trailer might be a different story?
At pool level you would probably not have to worry much, but that river can drop six inches or more a week if there is no rain.
While you are in the water you might try some catfish noodling since it's an ideal spot.

Fished 59 bridge (1-21-19) going south towards the lake for about 7 miles with only 3 whites and 1 crappie to show for it. Trolled
rattle traps and cranks which produced 2 whites and the crappie. The other white was at the mouth of a drain/creek where
we graphed a small school. We threw at the school for about 15 minutes and finally got the one white on a rattle trap.

Spoke to several other anglers on the water as well as bank fishermen and seemed like they had about the same result as us
with the general consensus about 2 to 6 fish.

Hopefully will give it another shot in a couple of weeks. Seems like the run is still early.
