Thank you LegCramp...kick some butt at the Catfish Derby this year! Remember 2 years ago when you where back in the Creek, down the way from the gun shots  ...There are some Big Fish in that spot this year. 20 lb plus  . There feeding on Live Crawdads and Jumbos...You know the spot!!! Happy Fishing LegCramp! If you have forgotten that spot send me private e-mail.

Someone stopped by the shop yesterday and stated that certain individual with the pistol was prosecuted a short while ago and banned from fishing California waters for a period of time.

Can't confrim whether this is true or false, but this person knows  Pistol-Bo-Peep    quite well. 

[LegCramp]

that spot seems to turn off though when the boat parade begins, might try to slug it out in the open water all weekend depending on how badly the waves beat us up.....

 

[KnotGillty]

Yup, the boat traffic in the creek can really hinder the bite. 

I'll be doing the open water thing again this year.  See you out there.

Looks like we all will be in open water, wonder if same area  only a week to go people until show time.I'm already putting stuff in order on my boat and my only goal this year is to kick steve's butt  and of course break lake record  look forward to seeing you guys out there !!!!!!!!!!!!

[KnotGillty]

We'll see you out there Maddog. 

And yes, Steve kicks a lot of butt.  Between the two of us Maddog, we have a chance.

 A big thank you to KATFISH J for the info on bluefishcove. I've been fishing the derby for the past 8-10 years and have been looking for someplace new to stay besides the south end. Although its very nice just wanting to try somewhere besides Indian Island and the creek. Any suggestions??? Much appreciated!!! Thanks again J...

[KnotGillty]

wanting to try somewhere besides Indian Island and the creek. Any suggestions???

Rattlesnake Island always produces money fish in the derby.  It doesn't hurt that most people release their fish in that area after weighing them at the firehouse.  Lots of holdovers. . .
