Mountain View Park in Gainesville can be very good at the right times of the year, it has lot of very dep water close to the banks. Boat ramp is still closed so it is more friendly to boaters to not take all the parking spaces when ramp does become open again, the people not using boats can really tale a lot of spaces on weekends.Now is probably good for using shiners under a cork, or on the bottom. When water warms some more, should be really good there. I caught two approximate 15# stripers the bout four weeks back, within two days of each other, and saw others catch some nice ones too, heard of other people seeing huge ones way at the back of the cove.

Well, I am not the best to give out information on this type of thing... but... The first time my Daddy ever took me fishing, we went under six mile creek... That's where the love of fishing was set in me. Good blue gill there, maybe a few crappie. As for right now... anything shiny is getting attention. I've caught three bass one striper, a crappie and a number of bluegill just on one rooster tail. all of that was one hour horseplay last week. I have a sailboat. And we keep it at sunrise, which is where I fish, a lot of good points and drop offs, but of course...I get special treatment for being a member there. but they have a day park where a lot of people go to catch cat fish and bass... there's a channel of water between there and old island 42. closes at 8 but eh...its still a good spot. Aqualand's chewed me out a few times. It happens. Going up Brown's Bridge road has some likely parks that look like they'd be good. Oh! and I remember a lot of activity at Bal us creek. Just, watch out for water snakes. They're just harmless painted water snakes... but they'll spook ya if you stumble upon them. I'd know. Hope that helped. Just stick your nose around and be persistent! =]
