I actually tried to send you a PM for an invite to do the the exact same thing. I remember you had posted previously about Apache and smallies. Seemed like you might need to blow off some steam. I'm in the East valley. The offer stands. PM if interested. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammerdown Report post Posted March 9, 2017 Thanks for the info hopefully by next weekend it will pick up. With water being high is there anywhere to camp by the shore? I was at Bartlett last weekend and with the water being so high there camping was limited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azbirdhunter88 Report post Posted March 10, 2017 Fish aren't on beds yet. Shad die off won't affect your fishing. We still got into them good. We're fishing a tournament there tomorrow so there will be a lot of boats on the water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pat Report post Posted March 10, 2017 You can camp on the shore at Crabtree by the marina, also Burnt Corral and Three Mile wash you can camp on the water. Water level is way up so I'd recommend Crabtree. Pretty central on the lake. Good luck! Pat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
