[QUOTE="Flatrock, post: 210189, member: 1001"] Hey fellas, for those of you who have fished the tailrace, what advice would you give to someone who's really never fished there? A successful trip for me would be: 1. Don't hit any rocks with the motor. 2. Catch a fish or 2. I've only been there once and that was with a friend. We were pulling up to a spot and he said to drop the anchor. I let it out over the bow and it quickly goes THUD! I look down and there's a boulder that was bigger than an F'n cargo van! I asked how deep we were and he said 12 feet. The anchor was sitting in about 2 feet. That still has me nervous about going there. He had fished there and caught plenty of fish in the past so he knew what he was doing but we got skunked that day. He said fish can be extremely finicky when it comes to jig size and color. Anyways, I'd really appreciate any help. [/QUOTE]
