Title: Rosey 4/13-4/14
Post by: Tweeder on April 17, 2018, 10:23 AM: Got up to Roosevelt Friday afternoon and wind was howling. Launched about 4:30 from Grapevine to see if we could find any fish before the derby Saturday. Picked up one crappie in Y cove on a drop shot minnow so figured in that weather it was a good sign for Saturday. Wrong, blanked on Saturday in perfect weather. Hit Salome, the islands, the bridge, and Y cove again Saturday but nothing but bass.

Hey, I'm new to the AZ fishing area. I've found Salome on the map - but where is Y cove and the islands?

Y cove is on the road side of the lake between school house and grape vine, not sure what islands you are talking about?

Y-Cove
This picture shows "Y" Cove, which is where Bruce had mentioned.
Highway side of the lake between Grapevine and Schoolhouse ramps.

Mid-Lake Islands
This picture doesn't really show islands, but when it's low you can see them.
You can see them better from Tweeder's reply, but this shows you where they are compared to Salome (circled in blue) and the dam.

Post by: mfrisby on May 27, 2018, 04:45 PM: do you guys have any luck up around the marina? Or out by the big tractor tires?

Post by: Fishless on May 28, 2018, 07:18 AM: can't fish the marina itself that is off limits with signs, in the past people have caught crappie out around the big tires, lots of cables and things to get hung up on but it can be done.
