Alloway lake

[shamoo]

Arrived right before light, as soon as it started getting light we noticed Alge bloom, fished for 5 1/2- 6 hours, caught 10, two decent fish, and the rest were around 11-12 inches(no pics of them) Weapon of choice was YumSooie in camo, the biggest ones came on a 4.5 Conviction Craw Black w/red flake, blue swirl.

Caveman, the lake is 120 acres.

You wouldnt believe what the bottom of the boat looked like, I wish I would have taken pictures, the trailer tongue had an 1/8th inch of the alge, that crap is very gritty.

I think there are 4-6? I got hired to work there last summer & the guy never followed up with me so I kept calling him to no avail. Finally almost 3 weeks later I got thru to him & he said "he had no work for me". That was catering though in the club though for banquets. :evil: Couldn't believe I went thru all that trouble getting interviewed, him showing me around, etc etc & then I never even got to work.

Nice Fish Shamoo. I fished Alloway 2 weeks ago and noticed all the algae. It was worse towards the back of the lake. Not so much by the dam.

When we arrived the alge was all around the back area and the Dam, the boat ramp was clear, when we finished the wind had blown all the alge from in front of the dam to the boat ramp, it was thick. Did you catch any fish?

If it was gritty then it is not algae it is watermeal. Smallest plant in the world and one of the hardest to kill. Huge pain in the a$$- coming from a guy that works for a lake management company.

Thanks cavman, it was def. gritty, watermeal? well I'll be darned!!! I;ve always called it alge bloom, now its time for me to impress people with my new word of the day "watermeal".
