Swepco lake report

[Stump bumper]

It's that time of the year again. Thought I would get there early Sat morning since we are going to have a hard freeze by then. Anybody been there latley???

Stooped by there today and the new parking lot looks great. The courtesy dock looks great, parking spaces are painted and there is even a clean portapottie put up. There was not a boat on the lake.

Can't wait for Saturday morning, I know they still will be deep but there has to be a few lunkers that haven't seen a lure for months.

Got out to Swpeco about 8am, way too late. I caught a few small bass around the damn where the water comes into the lake. Then some catfisherman came along with a cast net and started catching bait and bass with a net and destroyed the spot. They keep 10 8 to 10 in bass.

I saw big balls of big shad that looked like 6 in swimbaits, if I didn't know better they almost looked like herring.

The water is very high and green and dingy with less than a foot of visabilty.

Aftr touring the lake until noon I couldn't locate more than a few fish in one spot and caught a total of three dinks.

This lake is not what it used to be at all, and until I get hard up on a cold winter day to fish for sunfish or anything, don't think I will return.

Thanks for the report and them guys are giving us katfisher men a bad name. You don't pull up on someones spot there are fishing in and start casting a net and you sure don't keep a game fish when you catch it in your net
