I've been hitting Furnace a lot these past couple of weeks as its an easy stop on my way home from work and its fun fishing as well. Tons of lilys and structure and plenty of good coves.
I've caught tons of fish there but haven't been able to break the 2.5 lb mark yet. I've been catching most near lilys, running plastics like worms and crawfish over the lilys then letting them fall. Also, I got a few with the frog. I'm gonna swing by there tomorrow, perhaps luck will change and I'll get a good one. Plus, it'll be raining so those damn jet skiers wont be out.
I know a ton of you guys fish there so if you see me in the green kayak come say hello!

I got a a bunch of 2 pounders one 3pounder one a little over4 pounds last Saturday at Furnace. I have been there many times and this was prob the best for weight of best 5 I have ever done there. The bigger ones usually move up into the thickest pads u can find. U gotta smash threw them with a 1 oz tungsten and creature bait.
Thanks for the pointer jamesd!
It is right across the street from oldham, I've never heard someone say its better but I've never had luck at oldham either. Then again, I've only fished it a few times. I find furnace has more action but I know people who love oldham.

I guess we all have places we don't do well at that others do. I love Oldham and usually do well there. I've never fished Furnace (didn't even know you could get a boat in there). We have a kayak tournament there on July 11, though, so I guess I'll get my chance soon. =)
just kidding!
