Fishing

took the canoe out to the lake weds, on the water right at first light. tied on a top water popper, first cast 16 inch smallmouth. went out a little further and got a few stripers. Thursday I went back out a little before sun up. Tried top water in the dark for nothing. then i dragged some anchovies on the bottom for a while, nothing. went to shore to stretch till sunrise and casted an anchovie out while on dry land and got a few 2 pound or less channel cats before getting back in the boat, and hitting the top water again. Got a few real small smallmouths right at shore, then a 12 in largemouth off shore about 25 yards. Then a good largemouth finally hit, took him to shore real quick took a few pictures and let him go. pretty good few days.

Sounds like you got that place dialed in. Great catches, thanks for sharing.
Work is for people who don't fish

how is the road out to boxcar is it accessible with a 2wd pick up? I can handle crawdad cove in my truck, is the road to boxcar similar? also has anyone been down 8.0 road? is there water access there? and is it drive-able? tryin to find some new spots to fish, thanx for any info in advance

Nice bass!

yeah, i drive my 2 wheel drive jeep right to the water at boxcar and crawdad no problem. just slow cause they have it grated and it rattles you around alot if you go faster. I never tried that 8 mile road but on google earth it looks to me that it just goes down to the other side of gov. wash/cove that i can tell. I think crawdad might be a little easier to fish from shore, but they are very similar coves
