Arthur 7.16

Fished the outflow - muddy creek - couple times over the last month or so.  Caught a muskie and son caught a lg mouth - separate outings.  Muskie was young - about 26 inches

Summer at Arthur isn't for the impatient.  The really good fish hide, and the normally good spots tend to give up dinks.  This leads to people swearing that Arthur is a dead zone.  
 
I know that Pork knows better, but it is amusing how the lake gets such a bad rep.  I could give lots of advice about how to work around the dead of summer, but for the majority of folks out there none of it would work or they wouldn't enjoy it.  
 
My job and boat project kept me off the lake so far this year, but I'll be out there after we get back from the beach.  Loves me some Arthur.
 
Again, just for the record... none of that is directed at Porktown.  He knows how to fish Arthur.  But he also knows his kids and what methods he can get away with on a day trip. 

If you are launching something large (larger than 17'), the Watts Bay public launch was extremely low this past weekend.  Not sure if the lake itself was low.  I don't think it was?  I had the tailpipe pushing water, to get mine on and off of the bunks.  The ramp closer to the beach, away from the sailboat marina was a little deeper.
 
I am pretty sure McDaniel's and Davis Hollow public are the two deepest launches.  It will require a little run to certain spots though.  I think the 528 bridge launch is also relatively deep too.  Although, you can't go too far back into 528 with a deeper sitting hull.  The veggies get pretty thick back there at this time of the year.
