Thread: Fishing report

Haven’t seen a report in a while… Hit limestone creek this morning with my 9 year old. We were single poling minnows for the most part. Water was 54 and dingy with a slight flow toward the river. We fished 7am - 12pm. Ended up with 14 keepers, several approaching 15”. Also close to that many shorts that we released.

I had him at 24” deep, and I was fishing about 6’. He caught 3 to my 1 all day. Most fish came from lay downs within 200 yds of the main river.

Bighting really well right now.

Saw a kid fall off a bass boat into the water (while fishing, not moving) They got him back in safely. Stay safe, and wear your life jackets!

Overall it was a beautiful day on the water with low wind.

We returned again today, put in at arrowhead, fished limestone out tot he river. Fished from 7am-1pm.

Water was 64 degrees and dingy but not chocolate milk considering the rain last night.

We caught about 20, 13 of them being keepers. Today it was mostly white crappie, and we caught most on jigs 18” under a bobber in brush piles in 3-4 FOW. Mostly males with lots of color.

Several guys were spider rigging the bay, and most folks we talked to hadn’t caught many.

i think the fish are staging to spawn but not quite there yet. This cold snap is going to set them back a couple weeks

saw a large gator (guessing 12’) near the last slough before you hit the main river.

also saw a white squirrel driving in to the ramp. That was really cool!
