    Nice. I've seen some monsters pulled out of there. Hope you get into them.

    I could tell all you guys that fish Legg Lake some real stories about how in the early 1970s we used to fish all night long, from sundown until 7 or 8 in the morning for big bass and giant catfish. We had our hiding spots figured out and knew the times when the security guard/police would cruise by. Early morning arriving fishermen would see us with huge fish on our stringer, and just thought that we had just recently caught them after daylight. Truth was, the bigger fish bit great after dark, not very good during the day.

    Did the same thing at the puddingstone in the late 1960's when it was just a reservoir and not a park. Hunks of mackerel on a treble hook in the dark was the key back then.

    Yeah Tuna, Back around 1985 to '90, we used to wade the east shoreline there at Puddingstone and our favorite lure there was a 1/2 ounce Rattletrap. We had lots of fun and caught some really nice bass. I'll bet you can still catch bass there with that bait at certain times of the year.

    Hey fishmounter,it was very cool back then,the guys who ran that little snack bar and boat rentals would leave the gate open for us and tell us to lock the gate when we left,very cool.
    One of the guys names was Fernando,used to drive a sweet red 56 or 55 Chevy truck,the other manager was a blonde guy but I can't remember his name,back then it was all about purple flake Yamamoto grubs and rattletraps,one of the park cops was named Kurt,he used to like fishing too,so he was always cool with us.
