Float Tube Tourney guys question

[RipnRog]

with the size of this thing we are most likely going to your place off of highway 80.

[86ranger]

Where is Lake Thornton? I cant find it on Google...

[brambo0311]

yeah its off the clipper gap exit on 80 you can see it from the road

[brambo0311]

Just a thought have you guys ever fished scotts flat on highway 49 up here. Its a big lake.

[brambo0311]

Actually its off of 20. I will give you a report, I am going friday.

[RipnRog]

What about sly park?

[86ranger]

Never fished Sly Park but willing to give it a try. Heard it has some big smallies in there... How about Mather?

[brambo0311]

sly park is all small mouth. And its either awsome fishing or dead. Plus it was kinda a throw out to put the odds in my favor. I fish it allot. Its a big lake, but there are only a few spots that hold the fish. And I was gunna beat you all there in my kayak. I have heared some guys in my bass club say that scotts flat is awsome. and it has small and largemouth. Its something like 800 acre lake with 7 miles of shore line.

[madddogg]

Do you mean Lake Theodore? It is off the highway just east of the Clipper Gap exit.

[brambo0311]

Uh yeah I got my chipmonks mixed up its theodore, alvin, and the porky one. Hey guys it is lake theodore, at the clipper gap exit. Thanx mad

[RipnRog]

you got any info on scots.... I just want a place that is not to big and not to small. keep it formal and catch some fish....you got a satelite of scots?

[brambo0311]

Yeah google maps scotts flat resevoir. Its about the same size as sly park, jenkins lake. I have not been there in a long time.

[brambo0311]

From what I remember its allot of granite slab and rock. Really clear water. I was going to go scouting for fish friday and saterday. I have an open back seat if any of you guys dont mind the slow tin boat. Its only 15' with a 20hp but it doesnt cost anything to maintain, just wipe it down with a dead carp to get the smell out. Actually I got it set up nice, bass seats, carpet. But it doesnt have satalite with NFL ticket like rips pontoon boat. That thing had more strap ons than a cage dancer.

All you Googlers try Live Search Maps. I found that the satellite images are much more current and detailed. Just an idea. Good luck with your tournament!

Fish ON!!!

[CATCHEMCARO]

I have been fishing Scotts Flat with my family since 1966. I love that lake. You would have to launch out of gate # 1. That way you could fish the dam are where there's lots of rock and smallies.

Gate # 2 is more red mud and large mouth. I bet the waters way low now too.

Any news on this yet? The 17th is next week!

[RipnRog]

Any news on this yet? The 17th is next week!

The date is going to be 11/24/07 due to some conflicts. I am waiting for Brambo to tell about his scouting reports.

[brambo0311]

I was supposed to check a few lakes but the kids have had the flu. Ripndog is the guy to ask. I have been running around with a shop vac and a weed sprayer with carpet cleaner sucking up puke for a week. I think we were thinking about lake theodore up by Auburn last. But I think there might be better spots.

[brambo0311]

Rip I have been internet fishing. Gibson ranch is a county park and doesnt look to have any gates on the satalite so I know its open. Theodore would be a good one if we have more people I think it has bigger fish than gibson. I know of a small lake at the end of arden off of fair oaks that has ok bass. Plus the trout planter truck just fed them. (SWIMBAIT TIME)... But I havent fished it in a year. Theodore has trout to and guys are fishing for them from the bank. Sorry rip I like to swim bait fish so this time of year I am tracking the planter trucks to find the bite. I hope you got a more scientific method because mine dont always work. But when it does it pays off.

I am thinking we do theodore. I like to go places I have never been.

[g-man]

Date? Need to defend my title! haha! look forward to this up coming one! Rip that reel is awsome dude, thanks!

[brambo0311]

I hit theodore from the bank for about 10 min yesterday. I got 1 to 2lb and another came off. So I know they are in there.

[RipnRog]
