report for 06/03, hit the lake by 4:15pm and stayed until almost 8pm. Caught 19 sandies ranging from 10-14'' good size on average today, most of my fish came on a chartreuse slab bounced on the bottom. Fishing was slow until almost 7pm and then it was every cast I would get a bite if not a fish. The bite seems to get later and later as it gets steadily hotter outside. Well hope this helps you guys out, see ya on the water.

Yeah, I agree with y'all that it's too much to pay to fish overnight. I have a park pass too and I use it all the time at different lakes.

It does add up to savings if you only use it for what it gives you, free day use access. I save $10 every time I go to Joe Pool because I don't pay a ramp fee. I have already been 5 times this year, plus Whitney and Fairfield. So for me, it's worth it.

I would like to see them do something for the fishermen who only use the ramp facilities though.

Good info JPW! Thanks for the report!

I have to go to Colorado today, but I may get back out there on Sunday.

Hey guys I found out some really interesting information on firemans hump yesterday. I finally found out why it is called firemans hump, that area actually used to be the home to the volunteer fire dept. back before JP was filled. They used the hump (back then just a raised spot on the topography of the area) because it allowed them better visibility to any fire that may be in the area. Pretty cool huh? And here I thought that they were just being cute when they started to name the underwater lake features.

AH!! Thats why they call it firemans hump. I was wondering myself why they call it that. Good job on finding out. Now I can go tell the rest of my friends why they call it firemans hump. LOL!

Cool I always wanted to know were they came up with that name.

Wife and I went to the Cess Pool this morning...and got El Skunko'd.We got on the water at 8:30,tried all the usual spots,found lots of fish,and couldn't buy a bite.Went to Fireman's,outside the oasis,marked lots of fish there,off doghead pt.,and then to my trusty sandy point going towards Britton to the left before bridge,don't know what it's called,but can usually manage some 9 in.Jp specials there.We threw silver slabs,Kastmasters,chartruese slabs,Lil' Georges,trolled Ratl traps,and deeper diving cranks....nothing.Anybody else do any good?Thinking about going back in a little bit,any suggestions?
We'll be in a older black and gray Champion with a Merc on it,stop and say hidy if you see us.

Wow.. I am going to head to Cedar Creek in the morning to try and get a limit of whites and a few hybrids.. We'll see.

Well we went back,and nada,.....caught one small black bass about 930 on a DD 22 of all things in about 12ft.....part cove was packed,had some idiot in a jet boat decided to load his boat right next to mine,about half throttle!!!!Thanks for the deafening noise pollution!!

I may try to get out in the next couple of days. Has anybody been out this week? and did you do any good?

I'm Gonna Try to Hit Joe Pool for a while tonight and do some night fishing and see how it goes

hey reddneck try by the bridge pilings under the lights, either bridge should work

oh okay so r u gonna be out there tonight

report for 6/08, Wayno and myself hit the water around 4:30pm and stayed until 8:30pm, we did ok I guess we boated close to 15 between the two of us. I have noticed that the water temp has stayed around 86 in the main lake after a couple weeks ago it was 90. The fish seem to be very scattered right now, I think they may be in a roaming pattern. The last few weeks there has been NO bird action at all, it seems as though that may be more of a spring/fall pattern. As well I have not seen to much schooling either, I think the fish are moving with the bait and staying a little deeper right now. The fish we did catch came from the same places mostly on a small chartreuse slab (about 2'' long). Well guys I think if you head to the lake soon, you should be preparred to look for them, and move with them as needed, just my .02. Hope this helps ya'll out.

Bump---Isn't anyone fishing??? I just got back from a black bass trip to Fork---anything going on on Pool?
