Has been 20 years since I fished Gaston.  My first tournament of the year is there.  Any tips?

It's my pleasure.  Hope you can make it.

Zoff, find some good points, creek channel ledges, any obvious humps and holes near the main channel...and last but not least BOAT DOCKS near deep water.. the dock can be relativley shallow but i have only had luck on docks near semi steep, or steep drops, or near the main creek channels or off of the main lake/river channel.

I tell you this as if you are going tmw, you know like I things will change. When is your tourney and which ramp are you guys using? Are you coming early to prefish?

If so, I can def give you a tour. (Work permitting)

If nothin else, i can bring you one of my several hard copy topo maps. (These are the good ones, they have notes alll over them)

I was thinking about coming down Saturday but because it is calling for rain... opted for SML and the fact Nitro may join me and that would be a LONG trip for him.  Just not going to get to prefish it looks like... maybe.

 

Thanks for the offer.

Thanks... I may just take you up on that.

Where is the blast off ramp on Gaston?

Where is the blast off ramp on Gaston?

Forgot to answer that with Teal's question...

Poplar is the launch point on March 9. This is an open tourny as far as I know at 60 bucks a boat. This is the only event we have a Gaston. Last year the long trip was Buggs/Kerr.

Zoff, you are putting in at the back on popular creek. Poplar is a long winding creek that has deep water. I dont know if it is a channel per se, but it is deep and the are shallow pockets and arms coming off of the creek. Theres alot of good points within the creek it self.

Polplar is in a good spot because if you travel down to the main lake, you aree in the middle of the lake and right at "the bend of the river" there are some big fish right there at the rivrs bend...

My partner tells me that some place in Poplar have steel poles in the water designed to damage boats. Truth to this? 

No. The only poles ive seen back there are mainly in the far back end and right there near the ramp. Most of them are wood,rebar with plastic, or pvc. They were put there by residents to mark stumps so that you wouldnt damage your boat. Durring the spring and summer, im back in poplar at least once a week (working on vegetation) and have never seen an intentional device to harming boats.

I say this, and ive pretty much covered that shoreline multiple times last year. When i say covered it, i mean about 30the ft from the bank, and the entire shoreline all the way down and back the entire creek....never seen such devices and havent harmed my boat.

Thanks

Zoff,

 

Why don't you go ahead and make some plans to fish Gaston if you want, they are calling for snow and sleet here on Friday, temps below freezing on Friday night, that will make the roads a little slow to travel Early Saturday morning, I was going to hold off till Thursday to see but it looks like the chances just keep increasing, it went from 30 to 60 percent in just two days.

 

I will shoot you a text too to make sure you get this.

 

Thanx for the offer Zoff, we will try again soon.

Oh... we still might go.   If plans change.  let me know

You got it Zoff, I will keep in touch.

Just realized, I have a club tourney out of Pohick the weekend before this get together. I can be bribed for info....  

Are you planning on makkng the trip with us

Going to try, cannot commit right now though

Was getting down the list a bit far so, Happy Wednesday!
