Fishing Forum

The old man has fond memories of what Otter Creek used to be but hasn't been there for 20 years. I've never been but would like to take him since...you know...who knows how many more chances he might have []

My question is...How does it fish this time of year? I've looked at old posts and nothing is ever reported in July. I have a bigger boat and am looking at going down at the end of the month, will the water be high enough to launch? Will I be able to troll up any fish?

I'm not so much concerned with size but I would like to get a few. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

My brother just got back with is friend and I didn't get a detailed report just what his kid told me who is only 10 years old. They had a mastercraft on the water and was doing the water sport thing so yes you can launch. Depth, I'm not sure. My nephew fished and he knows next to nothing about fishing but I guess he managed 2 hogs that even impressed his mom and dad. He did say he sat there for hours to get 2 fish so I'm guessing if you knew what you were doing fishing could be okay but wouldn't dare say fast action.

Was down there yesterday 7/10 and we do fish that pond quit a bit. Fishing was very slow for us as we normally just troll, needlefish, or Repalas on leaded line. Earlier in the year we pound them, but not the other day. the water temp was 69, watch the wind reports before you head out. Talked to some bait fishermen and they some got into them using power bait around the Eagles Nest. The north end of the lake is starting to turn or the storms have really loosened of the weeds, couldn't hardly troll without catching a bunch of it. The south end was trollable but again very very slow. Your best bet would be to anchor up over any fish you find on your finder and toss out the ole power bait . Lunching your boat will be no problem, at the south state park end. Always a chance of a hog or two down there so good luck. Here's a pic of what you can expect on a good day [sly]
