Found a fishing rod at the tailrace

[MSA]

Up on the hill on the east side. Looks like someone leaned it against their vehicle and forgot about it before they drove away last night. Its a pretty nice combo, PM me the description and you can have it back.

Find any fish?

 

[MSA]

Hell no, damn water was too low to launch my boat, then another storm showed up. The boat ramp area was a 2 foot wide creek about 3 inches deep.

Well that's no fun.

Then i tried to fish off the rocks, but since the water was so low, i couldnt get close to the waters edge without slipping on the slime and bustin my ass.

bump

Whats the reason water so low at trailrace? not letting any water out????

 

[MSA]

Id suppose its a combination of 4:30am being the lowest demand for electricity, the deeper/broader sections of the river carved out by the flood in 2011 holding more water thus lowering the standard pre 2011 levels, and sakakawea isn't rising anymore this year.

I feel you. Those rocks, between the bird crap, and slime/weeds, etc, can be more treacherous than a one legged bar stool.

So, no fish whatsoever? I watch your goings-on, and if you're killing them, I stand a chance. If you're not catching fish, I stay my butt at home.

 

[MSA]

yeah, don't waste your time. the tailrace has been a crap shoot all year. one night I have a little hope, then the next night all I catch is cats & carp. and the dam paddlefish are so thick it costs about 7.99 per cast if you're using cranks.

Ive been down a few times lately. seems if the water stays up after dark for awhile you have a decent chance, if it goes down when its light out. might as well go home.
low water=algae covered rocks=cussing and falling

 

[FishReaper]

Has anyone bothered jigging off the walls in awhile??

 

[MSA]

Yeah, just cats and paddlefish.

 

[FishReaper]

No effin way Jose!!!! that place has enough drunken tools with Alabama accents crawling all over the shore leavin garbage everywhere, open season on paddlefish down there? are you high? why not have free beer & barbeque squirrel stands every 30 yards while were at it.

Maybe some of them would slip on the algae covered rocks, and straighten out our situation.

Gonna be my shitty luck when i find out the owner of that fishin rod is from Bayou Labatre and loves barbequed squirrel.

Have you ever effing had grilled squirrel?!...You guys up here are wasting a lot of good meat. Squirrel and cottontail are good eats. Same color/texture as a Hun. And now Juan (R) wants split skulls at the Race...

Peculiar.
