Nothing.

Also spoke with at least 6-7 other people and groups that were all using nightcrawlers and nobody was getting anything. I talked to one guy who said he had been there all day and caught a carp around 9AM but not a bite since. I arrived mid-day talked to him at about 3:00 so that give you an idea of the slow going.

Water was murky near shore and it didn't look much better further out. There was also some wind. I tried a couple different colors of Senko's rigged wacky, a rapala (not sure, maybe a shad pattern???), and a Texas rig with a dark colored crawdad plastic on it. Not a bite. I can't speak for the boat guys but I was skunked (again).

Sorry NS. I used to regularly enjoy fishing at Standley. Especially the creek on the S side. I caught numerous wiper, catfish, and several walleye (no keeper 'eyes though). And then seemed to get the regular skunk from '95 through '01 and never returned. "sigh"

maybe the worst lake from shore. can't even go in the water to cool off. the Nazis rangers there are ruthless!

I fuckin hate standley lake nazis...

 

[NymphoStage]

haha. I actually did see a ranger boat "pull over" another boat. They were pulling a wakeboarder and the boat chased them down with their lights on, seemed to talk to them for about 30 seconds, and then took off.

[dieseldoctor]

That lake was insane from shore back in the day. Wiper heaven!

 

[denverbassman]

It was insane last year, this year! Not for wips , real bass!

 

[dieseldoctor]

I've seen the pictures man.... When I quit fishing there it was still decent from shore, but they closed the area were I used to park. Fishing that mudline when the canal was flowing was $$$ back then.

Have you seen any pike come out? Years ago working at Sportsmans I had a guy come in and show me pictures of two 20lb plus pike he caught one right after another. I've never even heard about pike being in there....

 

[denverbassman]

Ive seen one pic of a pike, if there in there theres not many at all.

 

[dankuhh]

Seemed beyond dead last time I was there, from shore though..
