FWC opened the N gate yesterday and started the draining process Get out there and fish while you can...

Wish I could but by the time I get back from N.C. it will probably be to late

WHAT IN THE HECK... None of our lakes have water and they are draining Micc to??
I thought the sink was already doing a good enough job there!

May try and go this weekend, still ok to launch right?

You can put in at the fish camp only on the N end. All other ramps are a no go and that was before the drain. There will be about 80 ac of water left on the N end and that will be it out of 6,300 ac...I had 6 bass blow up on top water yesterday evening and caught 5 of them. all keepers (size limit wise) and nothing over 3lbs. it was a good trip..

Sounds like fun!

Thanks I think I'm gonna try and make out there this weekend in between the rain

Fished yester evening from 7-9 and 2 of us caught 18 bass.





FWC had to close the gate 24 hrs after opening it. Opening a 36" pip all the way will tear something up I tell ya. The back side of the spill way undermined and from what I heard it will take $100K to repair it.....They have a smaller gate opened now and still draining.

Going in the morning, what were they hitting on?

Anything top water

VERY NICE!!!

Made it out there yesterday morning with my son , we caught about 20 bass nothing bigger than 2 lbs, 9 specs, 3 big bream , and about a dozen or so chain pickerel , all and all a good day, boat did great and didn't get rained on and was back at the ramp at noon. Caught most bass on a June bug speed worn and a watermelon red super fluke and a couple on a spro frog, bream and spec's came in on a slider spin white pink swim tail. Thanks for info micci man, hope I can make it back before the water is gone

Nice report. You have me jones'in to get out there now.

Glad you made it out kenfly. I'm sure the boy enjoyed it as well as you. There will be about 80ac left on the N end and you won't need a boat, you can walk accross the gator backs to get around

That is no joke, I have always known that was a lot of gators out there, but they are thick!! We rolled into one spot to try and I was surveying the area and I saw not 1, not 2, but 6 grown gators and told my son there was to much competition in the area and moved on, could not help to keep thinking in my head Scoot Em!! Lol
