Fished Union again Friday with a couple of my drivers from work, action was slow in the early morning started out at the dog beach without a nibble. About 8am we went to the north side of the lake where we caught fish last Mon. and no more than 5 min. in the water and it was fish on! The day tallied 23 wipers all caught on Mussels. One of the guys lost two rod and reel combos not watching his poles one of them brand new ;D ;D. He should of been on one of them pricless comercials because the look on his face was exactly that.

23, huh? Any size to them? How did you rig your mussels? ???

 

[chris]

ALL OVER THE SLOT BIGGEST BEING 21 IN. #2 CIRCLE HOOK USING HALF A MUSSEL.

 

[roadkill]

what is the slot on union?

 

[chris]

15 IN.

 

[roadkill]

is 15 the upper or lower part of the slot or did you mean 15 is the minimum?

 

[chris]

Sorry they have to be at least 15 in to keep.

 

[roadkill]

so it is just a minimum size of 15, is there an upper size that fish bigger than that have to be returned?

Not here in  Colorado. You can keep any  wipers  over 15 inches, your daily limit is 10 and possesion limit is  20. The only time you can keep wipers less than 15 inches  is  when the lake has both wipers and white bass. Like Bonny res, JM and Boyd, I'm sure there might be a few more.  But only here in Colorado. It'll be posted at the lake if there's a size limit.

[chris]

WE WHERE ON A BOAT OVER ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE LAKE.

how big of a boat can you put on union, do they have a decent boat ramp for like 18 foot boats or is it only good for small hand launch boats???

For sure. My 17' boat goes in with no problem. I've seen medium size house boats on the water before.

 

[jamiehughes]

do you guys use cooked and shelled mussels or fresh from the shell????
