I love fishing Sheldon. If the grass is already growing in thick then throw a frog early and late, but you better hold on tight. Never fished it from the bank though. And yes, there are some monster gators in the back of Sheldon. Haha thanks for the tip!

the lake record is 10.06. His fish was not 12 lbs. Even though I'm sure he wished it was.
I agree with the love hate for that lake.
And I guess I a have been fortunate with the vehicle situation. I usually take everything out and leave it unlocked. Sometimes with the windows down just to make sure I don't get a busted lock or window. don't know why i thought it was 12 something, i thought the previous record was 10.06. anyway, there are bigger fish in there...

I understand not leaving anything in it, but leaving it unlocked with windows down so you don't get them busted? That sounds like a pretty rough area... It is. A guy who works for me was the victim of an attempted car-jacking (or so he says) last Friday evening just a few miles from there.

Oh man, I am headed there with a buddy next week. Can anyone suggest the best place to park, aka least likely to encounter transient individuals? We were going to the Garret road ramp access

I've tried that lake many times on boat, and just haven't found the fishing everyone talks about.. Usually throwing a watermelon red texas rig.. I've tried other techniques but never a bite. Haven't been back since late October but I'll try it again before too long. Even some of my friends have pics of them holding 7-8 pounders out of there, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. Good luck!
Never had any problems with break ins. Just take everything out and leave it at home. If you're taking a boat, before you back down make sure there's no one on the other side or you might mow down a kayaker. Who ever built/designed that ramp should be fired.

I fish it all the time in the winter. Break ins are no where near as bad as people say. Its way busier now so I think that helps. Garret rd people catch 3s and 4s pretty regularly. Throw a live goldfish and theres no telling what you'll catch, haha.
When I am not fishing I am thinking about fishing. And mostly what I should have done differently my last trip!
