2/1/2010 Forebay Report

My Dad and I decided to give the Forebay a try. I have had good luck in the past this time of year but today was pretty tough. My FF was didn't work when we arrived so fishing the drop offs and channels was pretty hard. Of course when we got the boat off th car today to fix the FF, it worked.  Water was pretty muddy, about a foot of visibility, and cold. I think we need a few days of sun to warm up the water a bit. My Dad did set a new kayak record today, scroll to the bottom to find out what it is.

It was a bit windy to start but then went dead calm.

"ESTIMATED" ???? You can't break my record with an "ESTIMATED CATCH"  Sorry Pop's  I still rule the Forebay

Thanks for the report & info Bill. I've been considering a run east for a few weeks now. And even a carp pic is good motivation!
