I got out 2 days this week so here it is. Tues 12/4. The water was up a little so launching was no sweat. Started looking at Indian Creek and there are fish there. Not any big school but scattered small bunches. It was enough to get me to put out the lines. Alas, no biters and no surface activity. I tried outside the creek but all was quiet.
Got up to Beaverdam and saw some fish deep with just a few up in the 25-30ft range so I put out the lines. Nothing. I checked up into the creek and saw very little. Checked a few more spots on my way up to Moorman's. Fish were there but again scattered. I had some jumbo minnows so after a trolling loop I put down some bait. Only one hyped up 21"er. Back he went. Looked again on my way back but found nothing interesting.
Thurs 12/6. I'm starting to look around the HFB now. Seems like I see a few fish now and then. I got to Indian Creek again and definitely saw fish. More active than I've seen them yet. I started trolling and made a couple laps in and out of the creek. Not this time. They didn't even want the A-rigs. On the last time out of the creek I kept trolling up river and started a loop just past Hatfield's. Right over the channel I finally got a bite. A very energetic 25". Nice, but tossed him back anyway. Kept moving up river and got as far as the Tennis Courts. Lots of fish there so I put out my last minnows. I felt like the elevator operator moving baits up and down but a hour produced nothing. No surface anything all day either. I am determined.
