Chaz Hickcox Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 I am fishing a tournament in Lake Gaston next weekend. As I have never been there before I was wondering if anyone has any tips, locations or presentations they would recommend. Quote
RockvilleMDAngler Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Carolina rig on main lake and secondary points. A 4" senko or trick worm works great on the carolina rig this time of year. That lake is awesome! Quote

That lake is awesome! That's just what I was thinking, just instead of a senko I was thinking c-rigging an eeliminator. Or I have some lizards too. Quote
stratos 375 Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 pick any one of the larger creeks, preferably ones that are getting the strongest angle of the sun. And as Rockville said, secondary points. It's loaded with them. Suspending jerks, bomber 8a's and jigs. Water temp is everything this time of year, it's worth motoring about to find an area 3-4 degrees warmer. I'd also stay in the lower lake, & find the clearest water you can. I've got lots of hours in on that lake. I remember taking Randy Howell out fishing in my boat when he was maybe 11 or 12. Google Earth will show you everything you need It's just a great place to fish. Good luck Quote

mrbassky Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I went a couple times. Until I went to Guntersville. Its good but no Guntersville. I agree with the other guys points are hard to beat. Stumps and docks are the main cover. I would throw a finesse jig and shakey head some as well. Quote
stratos 375 Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 suicide, you don't need any stinkin electronics to find warmer water, you might have to resort to what us old guys did before we had LCD displays w/ water temp displays. Get a hand held thermometer & stick your hand in the water, it actually works quite well, just not as fast as digital. Quote
