I was out there Saturday morning, it was generating so their was some current flow but didn't see any fish being caught. I suggest getting there early if you decide to go because it was PACKED.

Got a question for the board. I go up to Denison Dam fairly often and wade fish the Oklahoma side, but I am always fly fishing so I leave as soon as they start releasing water so I don't drown. I always see people on the Texas side throwing surf rods down past the power lines, but I have no idea what they are fishing with. It appears they are throwing something that resembles a saltwater popping cork, but they just cast it and reel it back in at a pretty good rate of speed so they are not treating it as a popping cork. All I know is the rig makes a giant splash when it hits the water and I don't see them catching anything most of the time. How does this rig work and what are they dropping behind the thing that is not a popping cork? Thanks.

The bobber allows them to throw whatever bait they are using further out and trying to get it across the current. Some have live bait attached, cut bait, swim baits, etc.

^^ What he said. It's these, or an all white version of it. http://stores.mtpocketstackle.com/weighted-floats/To get the full 100 yards, you generally need 3oz. Below is most commonly a bucktail tipped with a fluke, or bait. There's also a DIY version that actually is a popping cork, but with an egg sinker glued/taped to the bottom of the foam.

Thanks for the replies. That rig makes sense. Now that I think about it I have seen some of those corks broken off in the rocks when I am wading. Also see a lot of soft plastic flukes, which makes sense since we’re all imitating shad.
