Anybody get a hold of Steele or amber yet about early entries and late arrivals? They stuck at returning messages
No return phone call yet.
I've called several times and left messages.

I have too...so lame
Still no luck. Interested in how late arrivals will work as I won't be getting there till around 9 or 10p.

Eff that ....Berry is going to be muddy-stained , what does one throw in muddy stained water... was thinking wacky rigs in dark colors ?

Ron what time you getting there.I’m looking at after 12-1 o’clock on Friday

Most of the lake is not muddy, not crystal clear, but the bass  are on the chew right now. Fish drop shots in greens, jigs are working very well right now in greenish craw colors as well as pb&j colors. Creature baits on small jig heads or Carolina rigged are working too. Smaller presentations are best now. They are also hitting reaction like jerk baits too. If you can't catch fish on this info, quit fishing. hahahahahah

For trout not sure right now, but normal small cranks and the typical flasher/worm combo should work well right now.

Depth for bass is 5-40'

Curious to hear about this. I also will be arriving late on Friday - probably around 9 or 10. I didn't realize there are gates that might be shut.

Finally received a call back from the campground.
We'll have to see tomorrow when the first person checks in to ask Amber what she wants to do about late arrivals.
They said she'll be there til 7pm on Friday.
She might just give us the gate code since there are a few showing up at a later time on Friday.

They are supposed to arrange to give us a combo or open the gate early. I think 8:00 is the normal time. Hopefully they will answer the phone soon.

I'm sure we'll get the answer tomarrow. They'll either have someone in the booth  before 7am or give us gate code. I'm not getting there till around 7am Friday. The Chill is almost here. LET'S DO THIS!!!🍻🎣
