JMO! I would rather stay up river toward the dam if possible. Then main idea or reason of fishing the RP at this time of year is for shot of catching a big Smallmouth. Any other time of the year I would quickly say move to Sullivan's and be in the middle of the lake. I really don't understand why a High School Tx. would be picking the RP anyway. I suppose they are looking for that big SM too!? I have only put in once at the Lupton City or whatever you call it ramp. I don't have a problem with doing that. Why don't we just wait and see what happens to the weather before we talk about changing anything? We may have some flooding rains by then and simply want to avoid the river and stay on the lake. It will be that time of year where flooding can hit us. Other opinions please!
