How is the fishing above the bridge? I have never run above the bridge.....I am looking for some new water to fish.

Run above the bridge?

Can you actually "run" above the bridge or would idling or trolling be the only way to get there?

When I drove over the bridge the first time I went I said "Well I can see why everyone fishes the other end!"!

I was suggest idle only.

Idle only. The creek markers do not designate safe travel. Floaters, transom destroying stumps.... once you are out of the creek trolling you will spend just as much time playing boat Tetris with the stumps and lay down fields as you do fishing... it’s a blast and if you are brave enough and patient enough you can get to some fish that have not see pressure.

Poor choice of words on my part....I have never FISHED above the bridge....of course most of the lake is idle only....thanks guys

The boat lane is well marked, but I would not suggest running, maybe a fast idle at best. Like they said above, too many floaters and stumps to ruin your day.
But yes, some of my best fishing has come above the bridge almost all the way to the back.

Been passed the bridge in my kayak a couple of times. It's a low yield area.

looks like someone is trying to hog the honey hole.............lol

Absolutely agree, very, very low yield area, lots of wasps, too many widow makers, stumps in the creek channel galore, please don't risk it. That being said, I run on plane, from the boat ramp to way past the bridge.

It’s a tiny lake, why not go find out for yourself?

Lol.....hey look....another cook stirring the pot.....thanks for nothin scooter

10 responses and 9 are wiseazz worthless digs! This forum is getting better all the time.........COVID must be messing w/everyone’s mind. Certainly crushing some spirits. OP, I never thought it was wise to even run all the way to the bridge let alone past it. Not that much water above the bridge.....but it does look good.
