places to stay

[kevo615]

Me and a buddy are coming down 2/10. Possibly making it into a weekend trip. Looking for a place to stay 2/9-2/11 on Chick. I've been looking at Bluewater or Sleep Inn in Dayton, or the motel at Island Cove. Any other recommendations? It is early February, are there any major tournaments going on that weekend?

[kevo615]

Coming in on I 24, the dam is closest. Harrison bay or Chester Frost are about equidistant from your direction.

 

[kevo615]

I've put in at the dam before but I usually end up fishing up lake anyway. So, maybe I should go to Harrison Bay or Chester Frost.

Harrison Bay. Fishing is good around there, good large ramp and a restaurant if it's open yet.

What about the ramp at wolftever by the bridge? Is that a good, safe place?

Better off at Chester frost imo better ramp than wolftever all depends on where you want to fish

 

[kevo615]

I like to fish over there by Harrison Bay and Wolftever

 

[kevo615]

Whats the river look like after all this rain, last night? Chocolate milk?

 

[Tn bullet]

I’d still use Chester frost just better ramp imo

You should probably stay home. Fishing is really bad here right now. Read the reports.

This and the 100% chance of rain for 2/10

 

[kevo615]

That is probably what is going to happen. Maybe next weekend.

No way dude! I would come for sure! Just put in at HB and stay right up to the gas pump, it's shallow. I'll be honest though, Priest is fishing pretty good too. We were getting more bites there and some good fish too 4-5lbers on the rig.

You drive all the way from Cleveland to fish Priest??? I drive 2.5 hrs to not fish that lake, and I live 30 min from it. I will say the fishing has been a lot better the last couple years there, though. Size and numbers.
