Going to a conference at the state park next week. We'll be in the lodge fishing from the bank and around the state park docks when we can. Anybody ever fished that way? What's the water look like around there? Any weeds, rocks, anything? Hows the depth? We don't have a boat so we're slaves to the bank. Let me know if ya'll have any luck there ever.

We were just there.  

Nothing along the shoreline at State Park that looked very promising to me.

no grass or anything? What about down the bank? I'm not above hopping in the car - or maybe paying 20 bucks to rent a john boat if there's something nearby

If you go down to where the cabins are, then to the boat lunch at the cabins you can walk out to the point where the access is narrow. I have caught 5 pounders in the little pocket leading to the bout ramp and sometimes early mornings the bass and stripe will push shad into the slew to feed on them. Good luck! Maybe you can hitch a ride in a boat? I'll be at Logan Martin or I'd let you hitch one with me. Fish the Rip rap, Logs and the good point and the pocket.

i have been having luck further down towards scottsboro south saudy area

I,LL BE FISHING THAT AREA THIS WEEKEND, FIRST TIME THERE, ANY ADVICE.??
