Dude there isn't 60-80 guides catching limits of trout everyday on the lake. The majority of the guides only guide during the summer months also. I fished about 40 days in June and July, and saw maybe 20 guide boats on the busiest days.

shrimp and other bait are not coming out of the marsh and into the lake
The shrimp showed up couple weeks later than usual, but there was more bait in the lake this summer than I've ever seen. When the weirs look closed, most of the time there is still an opening for bait to swim through.

That lake is a big ol clusterfrick
The lake has it's share of problems, but it's moving in the right direction. The south end is getting rocked soon, and that will help tremendously. Bitching about big lake has been very exaggerated this year. Everyone I fish with had an incredible summer on the lake.

Can I go fishing witchu?

I have been doing terrible on the lake. I only get one day to fish a week and it seems lately that it's always the wrong day for the lake. Been doing ok in west cove and the marshes around it.

True...My buddy is a guide and some days the sheriff boat tells him 20 trout is the most he's seen in 1 boat.


That 3rd weir was open every time I went earlier in the year because I ran my boat through it....

Dude... Been fishing that lake since the early 90s. It's a clusterfrick.
Sorry you didn't go b/w the lines... I was getting at there could be up to that many guides a day. And yes there are that many including the people from Texas. Just b/c you didn't see them doesn't mean they weren't there.... Not arguing, but there is a problem. Shrimp are more than a couple weeks behind as well...
