Oh my GAWD girl...where you been??? So you pop back in here just because you need information?? I feel so violated!!:lol::lol::lol:



I understand the night bite is the best on topwaters and crankbaits. Hmmmm 3am would fit the bill as far as night goes!!:lol: Also try BIG plastics 10 inch worms and swimbaits.



Tell Larry Toxic says hey!!

try trolling near the dam, use white bucktails, usually 20 to 50 ft will find them, troll along the high bank mountain walls. and dont be suprised if a big smallmouth smashes a lure.

or you could wimp out and free line live bait.

Trolling for another parrot? I was there the year you got you last one and yes I still talk about it.



Good Luck

I just got back from SML, they are catching them early and late on points, using stick baits deep runner style. My parents live up in Gills Creek and we would watch the morning schooling take place around sun up and the same at sundown. Also trolling live bait down to the tops of the trees. The water temp is a lot cooler than last year, only 78-80 deg. Go to Virginia Sportsman in West Lake and look at the daily report board... if your close by. Have fun

Thank all. Trolling for another parrot...I almost brought mine back, he is quite the obnoxious fellow. I know now why he was in the wild. He didn't escape, they left the door open. Thanks for the info. We'll give it a try. Tox...you are funny. Just think of it this way...I value your insight, so I come to you first. I may not be on here much, but your are always in my thoughts

Hope to see you soon somewhere along the BPS trail!!
