What's the status of False River?

Is it ready, or nearly ready, for fishing again?

It’s improving but no where near where it was in the early 90s. We should see steady improvement going forward. Another dredge this fall I’m assuming and we should get reports on the grass growth

Fished False River this weekend as we had a family get together all weekend. I only fished about 1.5-2 hours in the mornings and 1-1.5 in the evenings but I will say it was the best bass fishing I have seen at False River in all the years we have been going!
Now granted I didn't fish during the glory years people describe but have been going there about 10 years on the same family weekend trip and this was by far the best. Most of the fish were small but we had fun catching them anyway.
FYI: All fish were released
Thursday evening: 16 bass 4 - Keeper size biggest 3lbs
Friday morning: 7 bass - 2 keeper size biggest 1.5lbs
Friday Afternoon: 19 bass - 7 - keeper size biggest 2.5-3lb
Saturday Morning: 15 bass - 3 keeper size biggest 2lbs
Saturday Afternoon: 3 bass zero keeper size (Pleasure boaters made it difficult which was expected)
Sunday Morning: Only 2 fish no keepers

Pretty trashy to fish another man’s brush piles.

I can't speak to the fishing, but the wake surfing has been wonderful.

Actually most fish were caught shallow on the broken rock bulkheads that had deeper water close by. Ones that were very shallow for a few hundred yards were not as effective.
Spinnerbait with no splash against the rocks then slow rolling into deeper water was the ticket for most of the fish.
Trick worms in deeper water caught better fish and even caught quite a few on square bills on Friday evening.

Why, because of all the hard work he put into making them? What about that dock he built that attracts fish; I shouldn't fish that either? If there is no one on them and I find it on my Lowrance then I feel like I can fish it. Yes, he made the pile but it is not his fish. I have a couple piles I made, not in False River, and I have seen people fishing on or near them when I roll up. Not once have I asked anyone to leave or tell them to let me have "my spot". That.... would be trashy.

Aint nothin better than eating fried chicken and going and catching some waves around the docks. I like throwing water on the bass fishermen to keep them cool. It has to be hot in those bass boats in the sun all day.

I never said you couldn’t. I just said it was trashy.

Send me your coordinates to you piles so I know where not to fish.

My progator boat with 225hp engine has a lot of attitude.
It loves turning around with the prop barely touching the water and kicking enough water up to slam people off their wave runners that throw water on me. The boat loves to show its appreciation for cooling me off.
