Headed in on Saturday morning with my fishing. Buddy's @Ramon and @Obi-Juan went out on the kayaks by about 11:00 had problems setting up my fishing finder and had to move my battery to the front , camped in Red Cayon at the back , a lot of carp spawning and shad balls , caught a big carp on underpin with a gulp minnow , he hit hard and almost took the pole . We came back in and set up camp , Went back out and fished and ran into @PFD he was on his peddle Kayak listening to some good music , he did a lot better than us on fishing .Juan fished for catfish at night and caught a big one right when i went asleep for the night . Sunday I headed to Dungee's Islands area and couldn't find the stripers so fished around red canyon. Finally on Monday we all went into Blue Notch and found crappie , catfish , small mouth bass and blue gill around the tumble weed batches on the shore . Got into a pretty good wind storm coming back to camp , and it just added to the adventure . Tuesday just before we headed out I dropped my walkie talkie into a tumble weed batch and reached down to get , and flipped the Kayak . I can till you they are pokie and the water was 65 degrees .
Hope @bcherv177 reads this post , he should park his pull up camper at the start of the road and ride his side by sides in and explore the area , the last thing you need to run into on that road is another vehicle you can't get around. It's only my 6 th trip to Blue Notch so I am not near as knowledgeable as others on this site. But it was @Ramon first and he drove his truck in right behind me , I am so proud of that man. You need to meet him to know how great of human being he is . The road is 14 miles long and took us 2 hours to do . Coming out my oil light come on , at the last obstacle and turned off my motor , come off it with no power steering . The sensors must of thought I was rolling over. Turned off the key and restarted the motor , no big problem.
It was a great trip , I have had better fishing trips , but it was place and company that made this trip.
