Now is the time to catch big bass and plenty of bass on Millers Ferry.
Thomas Jefferson. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Life is too short to only hunt and fish on weekends!

My boy caught one around 6 1/2ibs few weeks ago near our camp. We Thought about going up to camp, but the forecast for Saturday is calling (some rain) for a high of 58 & low of 36 Sunday morning. And looks like the winds gonna be blowing purty good, so i think we're gonna stay around the house...
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!

They were almost certainly knocked back when it went from riverine type system to a lake. They spawn on a different substrate type than largemouths. Things change...When I started fishing at Millers Ferry when I was 13 in 1977 you could run from the river to the hwy 41 bridge in Pine Barren without checking up...just stay in the creek channel tween the trees...same for Buzzards Roost all the way to the Gold Mine...not now. How on earth where you able to get through the back of pine barren? It's a mother getting back there with a trolling moter. those cypress stumps don't budge!

WHen they first flooded the lake the timber in there was still standing and you could run the natural creek channel all the way. Now when you get to the back where it's real flat and shallow didn't exist. It was 4-5 feet deep and i think and old pasture on the Jones place. It didn't start silting in real bad until maybe 82-83. From there you just shot right through what is now a bunch of flats and willow runs and logjams right into a clean creek channel. For those of you trying to negotiate it now good luck! LOL BUT...after it forks as you come in from the river if you take the right fork hug the bank all the way back past the timber...it was an old road along a fence row...there used to be some posts left I doubt are still there to show the way.

That's kinda crazy to think about running back through there on with an out board.I hunt on pine barren creek and every weekend morning you can hear duck hunters fighting their way to the back of the creek in the dark . It sounds like bad morning to me. I remember as a kid watching an Archie Phillips episode fishing with Paul Ellis on Miller's ferry throwing a Carolina rig and catching some bigguns. That show really turned me on to fishing.
