We never had a problem of anyone fishing too close. The places we saw boats bunched up were groups like the 6th Sense guys fishing together.
Don’t go there thinking you will catch a bunch it is very tough fishing. If you are really good with a live scope you can catch them.

Store counted 77 I believe at 4.

Sportsman’s is the only place within 25 miles for evening meal and beer store right there as well. To buy anything like a grocery store is 30 miles one way. Everything is booked in small towns within 30 miles so a room if you haven’t got it will probably be 60 miles. Store counted 70 at the elm creek ramp, lots of boats on lake and they don’t mind fishing on top of you, I learned that the hard way today. Have no idea how many was at concho today but I’d bet there were quite a few as well. I live 5 minutes from the ramp and 20 boat caravan coming in.



Can I stay at your place this weekend?

Nope, I’m headed south instead of going to Fork.

Fished the lake HARD for almost a decade and it was stingy for us this weekend

Glad to see it’s back to what it was but it’s not a numbers lake unless you stumble on to the magic group

Been pretty obvious that that’s what they’ve been doing out there.

I don't get it. People see or hear about a few people catching big fish somewhere and rush to that lake. There are big fish in a lot of lakes.

Do people really think they are going to catch that 16 pounder if they go to Ivie? What are the odds?

Mainly because I want to, I like fishing a new lake in which the weather is going to be nicer there than here and I 100% won't catch a 16 or anything else from the couch

because it is roughly the same distance from El Paso as Amistad and Ive not only never fished this lake...i had never heard of it....and looking at how everyones doing I figure I can luck into a 5 pounder or 2 if I stay a few days. Very excited to fish something beside rock for once and putting my electronics to a test finally.

Why do tournaments choose to hold tournaments on lakes that are known to produce limits and bigger fish? You mention odds.....well if guys are lighting them up on bags of bigs on multiple back to back days....you know there are at least those big fish who actually live there instead of hypothetical big fish in a lot of lakes. Some psychological...but lakes are cyclical....and if a lake can potentially be at its peak....are you gonna stay home to not upset locals, or head out there for a potential once in a lifetime opportunity? Me? im driving my [censored] down there to stimulate the local economy at worst and possibly hooking into a PB at best 🤷‍♂️

Also....I get the livescope aspect....but Luke Dunkin caught the same smallie as miliken...whos to say one of the rest of the 8-13 pounders floating around wont find my senko? Glass half full

Change is constant. Adapt or die


I fish for myself....the way I want to fish. Never chased a bent pole, or a hot pattern, or traveled to a hot lake in my life.
