Thread: Kayak Trip Report, Indian Creek

The water was 66 degrees at daylight and had warmed to 70 by the time I left at 5PM. The creek is loaded with bait fish and Crappie, but they had lock jaw today. The 9 I cleaned were all stuffed with 1" shad. Hopefully they'll be back at the buffet soon!

Bite died after an hour and they got lock jaw and you caught 42 crappie? Dang Id take that any day.

Always blessed when I put fish in the boat, but half of the days total happened in the first hour. We've all been there hoping for the water to start moving and the fish to turn back on, but never happened Saturday. I talked with a buddy in Limestone just off the river. He had a similar experience.

Good report, thanks

Thanks DB, great report. I think the cold front played a little yesterday too.

Sounds like a good trip
