Tod,I take it you are driving up the levy road from lazy m?How far can you drive up?I launch my boat at riversend all the time and fish italian alot(mainly behind widow but do get down to the other end.)
Have you ever been down there in the summer?lots of yahoo boat traffic in there(I've almost got hit in the champion) :o This time of year it's pretty safe to kickboat back there but I'm not sure about the warmer months.I know of some deeper wood in there and it can be great with jigs,senkos and frogs. }( If ya ever want to check it out from a boat,let me know.There is a ton of great water down south and some big feesh too!:+ Last year my bro caught a striper that was between 50-60 lbs on a stacy! and his pb lmb(10.6?)both fish came within 30 yards of each other.
Maybe I'll see ya on the river down there,Swampy
