Murphy's Point Shore Fishing (info needed)

[Tmmorganlive]

Hi friends,

I'm headed to Murphy's Point to car camp with the family. I'm going to try to sneak away a few times to get some lures wet and appease the new addiction. Anyone ever fish from the shore at Murphy's Point? I hear the Narrows, but not sure if that is a bit of a hike or not. Rather something close by the campground.

If you go to the main beach, facing the water, there's a point on your left. If you're ok with it, wade to about waist deep straight towards the back of the bay, and cast as far as you can. There's a great drop-off there that goes down to over 30' deep. I personally witnessed a father and teenage son catch 5 or 6 largemouth bass on texas rigged weighted senkos there in a matter of about 45 minutes or less. Each was no smaller than 2.5# (guessing as I was a hundred feet away, but they were not small fish from shore!). Their biggest was pushing 4.5-5#!

That entire bay is great if you are willing to rent a canoe or kayak, too. There's no motorized boats permitted so it's a paddle-only, calm water zone. Hit the shoreline and the drop-offs.

Fantastic info - thank you! I'm not opposed to getting a little wet OR renting something to keep it dry. Many thanks.
