Pocohontas State Park 2024

Rippinglips reply :

Hey yall just trying to get some opinions/advice as to where yall have the most success atpocohontas state park and what lures or plastics your using. Everytime I go I end up catching a couple dinks and thats it. All help is appreciated

hookingem reply :

Right side near the dam watch your depth finder pads early in the morning with a weightless fluke or a frog is killer. shaky heads do alot of damage as well regardless it can be really tuff alot of the time

Rippinglips reply :

I was told the dam is like a 50minute troll Ive never actually made it that far lol.

WdyCrankbait reply :

AJ fishes that place a lot and does well.

Rippinglips reply :

What part is aj fishing and what bait and color is he using.

hookingem reply :

I'm AJ haha, and You know color depends on water clarity time of day ect. No color is magic for me out there. Also it's more like 30 minutes to the dam, which really isn't long. I hope you never have to fish Diascund if you think that is a long haul

Rippinglips reply :

And you say early mornings u cant get to the landing till 8am the gates r locked

hookingem reply :

During the summer park at the top and wait. The park Ranger is usually there by 7:30ish. I'm killing em' on the frog till 9:30ish give or take. Also get a pass if you plan on fishing it a lot. This is my 3rd year with one and it saves you a lot of money in the long run. Good luck!

Rippinglips reply :

If you dont mind me asking what kind of frog are you using

hookingem reply :

Tru-tungsten Mad Maxx or a paddle feet scum frog

How's the bite out Pocohontas this time of the year?

hookingem reply :

I haven't been in over 2 weeks, but last year at this time according to my log they were bitting good. Go out there and let us know how you do!!!!

Rippinglips reply :

Ive been out there the past two days and landed 10 fish the first time out and caught 7 the second day .All dinks. So the bites been decent.

hookingem reply :

Iv'e only caught one decent one out there so far this year 3.5#. But last year there was a 5# mixed in every once in a while. It's not the best fishery in the world but it has some dececnt fish in it, and it's close to home.

hookingem reply :

Let me know when you catch the giant! My dad had one over 7 break his line, so I know they are in there.

Rippinglips reply :

I seen one jump that looked every bit of 5. Wat bait was he usibg. The 3lber hit a spinnerbait

Reel_Kaotic reply :

Sounds like the bite is good. You used a spinnerbait the entire time?

Tallent88 reply :

naw i had 5 poles set up one with plastic texas rig one dropshot one with a spinner bait one with a frog and finally one with jig and pig just saves a ton of tieing and re ting just grb a pole change plastic etc and just watch depth and threw accordingly we went way out close to the dam and you could see bait fish schooling so we started throwing spinnners in and around schools and then storm started rolling we had a nightmarish trip back had trolling motor on 5 and we were going the opposite way had to empty boat twice becouse over 5 inches of rain had accumulated in the boat ill use a different weather man next time haha just love the scenery at this place looks like bass heaven just doesn't fish like bass heaven to me yet lol .
