Hey guys me and a buddy were gonna come up Saturday morning with his quad and would like some advice on where to put in at. We usually walk it but would like the option of moving around quicker if it's even an option still. Any info would would be appreciated!  Thanks!

If you want big fish and a shorter drive, catawaba. If you want more and smaller fish and about double the run. Crane.

Thanks for the link, i saw that thread and was thinking we'd be better off going farther west just have to go out a little farther.

Believe me there are PLENTY of BIG FISH 6 plus miles out of Crane Creek . SO funny to here that Bigger fish are out of Catawba when I have not herd of one 14lb plus fish come from that area but have personally seen 5 just the past week out of Crane . Our last few times out with 3 and 4 guys limit with all 8lb plus fish .

Yes the numbers are also better out of Crane as well .If you want smaller 2-4 lb fish , fish within 4 miles and you will get them as well .No current to deal with out of Crane either .

Yeah two weeks ago we fished outta catawba and pulled 18 only 2 were under 29"  and the rest were 8-10# range, no real hogs to brag about. We're do we put in at crane? And what depths are you fishing at? Thanks

Im probably a prick for pointing it out but you mean CO not CO2, carbon monoxide vs carbon dioxide. Just couldn't miss out on the chance to show everyone how smart I am lol
