    Default Rucker Questions

    Hello all,

    I'm thinking about taking my 8 year old son to Fuller and Rucker tomorrow. I've never been to Rucker and the access information I've found is confusing. Is there a good place to put in a kayak? Any information or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    Fuller has good access, Rucker less so. Last i was at Rucker, I caught small bass and saw a bunch of catfish, no trout. Fuller would be a better bet. Might want to check the stocking schedule.

    Since you posted in warmwater, I assume you wan to fish for bass. It has been several years since I was there, but the road was very rocky and pot holes. There is a NFS campground there, as well as the (Much nicer) LDS camp. I drove within 100 feet of a sand /rock beach on the north side. The fishing was fast, target submerged rocks. If the tug is the drug, Rucker was worth the effort.

    I heard Rucker Lake was a good place to take the kids to catch lots of small bass.

    I have caught monsters at Rucker's on top water. But usually smaller weird bass/sunfish hybrids. There is a place to launch from near the camp area.
    So long and thanks for all the fish!!!

    Fuller was supposed to be planted this week. My memory of Rucker is that the raod is rough but not terrible and there is not a place to pull right up to the water, so a short carry of the kayak. Let us know how it goes.
