9/11/2012 Report

I got out at the crack of dawn Tue and decided to try up river. Scouted around a bit and started trolling around R32. Saw a few bait balls but no fish chasing. Worked my way up to Indian Creek and it was the same thing. Some bait and maybe onezy, twozy fish here and there but no biters. So a little after 8 I ran down to B&B creeks.

Started at the condos and was seeing more bait balls and more fish. Now it was twozy, threezy but still no group, pods or schools. Worked both sides of the river and the mouths of the creeks but all I got that morning was 3 largemouth. 2 on cranks and 1 on an A-rig. I was trying lots of stuff. At those times I would see a few fish around some bait but they turned out to be the bass. Nice day, hoped for more fish.

I did get some reports from the neighbors' brother, Steve, (I may mention him again in the future) who does a good bit of striper fishing. Last week he got on BIG schools of breaking fish down near the dam and Craddock Creek! Wonder what there're doing down there? He is having line problems and broke off many more fish than boated. I plan to get out this week but it looks like a bunch of rain early on. Maybe Thursday.

Later,
Joel
