Stienaker, Red Fleet, Gorge for bass?

[leaky]

Am hoping to take Sparky, my buddy and his Golden fishing late Aug. Am looking for bass fishing and am wondering if anyone has any recent info. on how the fishing is for bass at these locations. Never been to Stienaker or Red Fleet. Also, recognizing we fish from tubes and don't have a boat, could someone suggest where to go on the Gorge for smallies that time of year? Suspect my areas aren't any good that time of year and have moved to different habitat; however, don't really know.

Leaky,

Steinaker has been producing on jigs all summer. I caught a few toads a week ago on buzzbaits, but you have to be on the water at dawn and it's all over by 9:30. By late august they should be hitting crankbaits hard. The waters low, so it should be good. Red Fleet is a tough one. It has a lot big big largemouth, but they aren't easy. Your best bet is to fish top water at night near structure. As for the Gorge, the rocks around Mustang are always easy access and a steady pick. Just go deeper than you would in the spring. Also, hit cranks in tight at dawn. Spring Creek near Antelope flat always seems to have big fish also. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Good Fishing, Kayote

Kayote,
For some reason when I try to reply to your post I get a blank screen, thus this. [url "javascript: addTag(':/')"][unsure][/url] Good hearing from you. I knew I could count on your input. Spring Creek is one of "my spots" in the spring. Spring creek is kind of big, any suggetions? Maybe the rocks on the North side? One of the spots that I'm trying decide on is the Snake River, below Swan falls. Kind of far though. Love it since it's smallies and moving water.

Leaky,

I like to fish the rocky point at the mouth of Spring Creek. The point continues out into the reservoir underwater for a long way. I have caught some of my largest smallies fishing deep out near the end of this point. Just my dos centavos. Good luck.

Good Fishing, Kayote
