An actual salton sea report 4/3/12

flatheads, shovelheads, yellowcat. whatever they call them were your from. Flathead and channel catfish feed on the tilapia at the river mouth and just below the spillway where the water is fresh/brakish. thats one of the spots im going to hit this summer. i know some over 60lbs have come from that off shoot of the river.

I would release those flat heads your talking about, the new river and the alamo river come from mexico. The only 2 rivers in the US that flow from south to north. Hit the High line canal if you want cats to eat.

I am not a geography nerd, but I believe the Monongahela River flows south to north emptying into the Ohio River. Don't ask why I know this, someone once told me "its the only river in the US that flows south to north"! I must be bored!

Guess you better not eat those tilapia either . Pretty sure it flows out of the canal though. Google maps is your friend.

Good to hear it's clean now....I was there 5yrs ago and it sewer stunk....dead fish on the beach so I didn't fish.
I did steal some Medjool dates off the palms...so delicious.

went there same time last year.. it was hot as hell. no smell yet. but the tilapia were starting to die off. i saw HUGE boils and casted into them for nothing. chased down the schools later on and found out it was just a bunch of dying tilapia gasping for air.

That's so sad I remember so many years ago I would always read great fish reports from there and now you never hear anything but death sickness
it's just like the the reeper has walked across that water

i guess thats what happens to man made waterways that don't get properly taken care of. if they (dont really know who "they are" dredged it and pumped more water from the duct in there and designated a run off, maybe transplanted some type of aquatic plant to create oxygen and get the cycle going that place could boom in about 3 years.
