A good rule of angling philosophy is not to interfere with another fisherman's ways of being happy, unless you want to be hated.

Saw two guys hall a flat bottom with outboard and trolling motor down to the bank last week. Team effort.

I saw a flat bottom on there last year. Last year, where they launched and loaded would have been an issue if the GW witnessed it.

The only legal access is the rip rap on the bridge.

I suppose, if they were plant employees and/or had permission to launch from the land owners, it may have been OK.

It makes me sick reading about Monty and all the great days. When that lake shut down it was one of the biggest reasons I Moved from winnsboro and bought a house in quitman. Someone should start a picture thread of all the giants that came from that lake

On the plus side, they do post the price of gas now. It was sad to see all the photos go. I may ask the guy next time I am over there if they saved them. It would be cool to get them all scanned and uploaded.

The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach

Was going through some stuff and came across this snapshot in time as the Florida bass in Texas started to take hold. I believe this was around Jan 1983.
