I wanted to go fishing today & take my kids out for the opener of the season for trout. I called a couple of lake resorts around 8am to see how the fishing was on the lake & from their dock. Most were saying, some are doing well & some not so well, which is fair assessment to say when the fishing is slow but they still want you to come & spend your time & MONEY with them. I was very specific about them being forthwright on their assessment on the fishing!!! The woman who runs the Resort told me & I quote:"The fishing is AWESOME come on out" I decided to take my wife & two children out there only to find out that the fishing "SUCKED!!!! We spent 5 hours on the dock,fishing on the bottom, & on the top with bobbers, and didnt get a bite!!! We tried worms, eggs,marshmallows powerbait, powereggs, all colors, pink,red,green yellow, white, etc ....You get the picture!!! there were like 70 fisherman on the dock and I would see one maybe two fish caught every hour!!! "thats Awesome fishing??????? I don't mind going out & not catching anything but when your completely decieved into believing that there is a remote chance of catching something or at least getting a bite or two, that what really gripes my grapes... So take heed fellow fisherman, when the resort owners start spinning there yarn of great fishing remember 95% or more is a bunch of bull!!!

Sorry you had such a bad time. Bright side you didn't get up a 2am to wait in line to have crappy fishing.

It's very possible the fishing was awesome when you called. Conditions and bites can change pretty fast, that's why it's called fishing. Resorts offer more than just a dock to fish from. I've had days of not catching a fish that have been quite enjoyable. Sorry your experience wasn't positive.

We didn't have success either until Sunday. However there were people pulling fish out of there. The guy next to me and his 2 kids limited out in a couple hours. I saw a lot of people pulling fish in. We have fished there several times and the owners always try to get us on fish. It's called fishing not catching for a reason. Hope you have better luck next time.
