center hill fishing trip

[procraft]

hey guys blazer and i are going to center hill on sat the 19th we need help where to launch what to use what section of the lake is best we will be after smallmouth but will take any thing that bites thanks for your help we really need it

Procraft, try putting in at sligo and if your going to fish for smallmouths I would run down. Falling water creek would be a good place to try first. They are probably going to be either nesting or coming off the bed. I would swim a grub or some kind of swim bait. I would expect the water to be pretty stained up river now. Another good creek is Mine Lick.

Took 20 lbs to win our club tx there last weekend. I know they were catching them on fluke and jerkbait. They launched from hurricane. If you put in up river i like ragland bottom good wide ramp and its just right around the corner from Sligo. I didn't fish the tx decided to go turkey hunting instead.

Thanks guys for the help. Is it really crowded there on the weekends? Like the Chick is. If so I might have to try and talk Kenneth into going one day during the week.

It is nothing like the Chick on the weekends. I fished there Saturday am it was not bad at all. I would suggest putting in at Ragland Bottom. There is a lot of heavy duty construction equipment at Sligo because they are building a new bridge there. Just be careful there was a TON if stuff floating in the lake on Saturday.

You won't see a quarter of the boats you see on chick. I'd put in at Ragland also. There is a lot more room there than there is at Sligo.

From what I hear, they are on beds hard on the hill. My favorite creeks are Indian, holmes, and mine lick. If you start seeing bedding fish, try senkos and shakeys

If I was going to fish Indian, Holmes or Mine Lick, I would put in at Hurricane. It would put you much closer to them than putting in at Ragland.
