Default Skunked at MC

Made the wrong decision to troll for lakers instead of continuing to hammer slabs at the cong Sunday... Fought wind for most of the afternoon yesterday and didn't catch a single fish. Ran 2 and 3 colors of lead and varied the downriggers but nothing worked. Had one board go off momentarily but by the time we grabbed it there was nothing there.

Heads up to anybody going there right now, the docks are not setup and it's a pain in the ass to load and unload your boat. Definitely consider at least bringing a buddy with you to load/unload the boats. I would love to know when they're going to have the docks setup again in working order. Anybody know? Right now they're just tied off around on the sides against the rocks.

Not sure when this was last updated but it looks like Saturday should have been the day.

I went there in Dec. and I knew there would be no docks, but like you said, thank god i had another person with me, or my boat would have been scratched to death.

Wow I just called and was told they just opened the one dock on the left side today and that's all they're doing this year... They said unless the water level comes up a good amount they're only going to run one dock all year...

They didn't say but from the looks of the shoreline yesterday I was guessing 5-10 feet? I really don't know.
