We got to the Lake about 10:00 am and the wife started fishing. Our two friends got there shortly there after with new rods and reels that had to have line put on them. As Dave and I started putting them together, Gwen finished her limit (35 minutes). She let Linda use her pole and she had caught 2 by the time Dave had the first pole rigged. She then caught 2 more while Dave was rigging the second pole. Poor Dave ended up doing most of his fishing solo as everyone had their limits. But he had the last laugh as he caught the biggest one. A 5.2 lb male that was as red as red can be meat wise. All the fishing was over by 1:00 and we enjoyed the sunshine for the rest of the day.

Where did you fish from shore? I'm looking for a good place to take my son close to Colbert.
Thank you!

There is no public shore fishing at Deer, however if you get a day use pass from the resort ($10 i think) they have a fishing dock you can use.

Is the fishing any good off the dock? I see you can rent a rowboat for $40 a day. I have a busted transom on my boat and won't be able to get on the water for a few months and am itching to get out.

We actually were fishing off of a private dock. Out of the 15 fish caught about half were at least last years fish. Tracker is right about the fins.

Agreed, basically a perfect fish. Would love to catch one like that, thats not an ugly brooder or triploid. Then again, fighting a fish is fighting a fish and friends are friends....yours just happens to be a tad better :) Well done!
