I rented a boat on Lake Monroe with my Brother, Saturday (the 8th), can you take a minute and give me your opinion??
I reserved the boat 6 weeks ago and called the Marina several times. On each occasion I asked him about the fishing and he was very informed. He also told me the GPS would be "marked" with where to fish.
We got to the marina at 5:50am and the first thing out of the guy that was there's mouth was, I'm not a bass fisherman so I don't know where to send you! No one had been out fishing on the boat so there was nothing marked on the GPS. He was not sure how everything worked and did not turn on the livewell so all the live bait I bought died rather quickly.
The boat was great but we did not know where to fish. I used some of the advice from this site and looked for rivers running into the lake with some current. Even found a little lake about 100 yards into the woods with the smallest of passgae ways to it. Unfortunately we did not catch any bass, crappie or bluegills. My brother did catch a Garr, about 10 lbs. That was exciting but for the $400+ I spent I really would have liked a bass.
Lake Monroe seems like a great lake for fishing. I am going to pay for a guide to take me and my bro at the end of this month. Any suggestions?
