Kayak Trip Report, Swan Creek WMA

[Ditch Basser]

I fished Swan Creek this morning for a few hours. I didn't find any bedding Gills but managed a few with jig and bobber on isolated Button Bush stick ups. The water is summer low but needs to drop a few more inches to force the fish out of the Button Brush on the edges. Returned several small bass and a couple 14-inch Crappie. Biggest surprise was a 13 1/2-inch Shellcracker. I kept a dozen of the larger Gills and returned everything else.

Giant shell cracker for certain . Well over 2#s I’m sure

I've caught and released several Crackers up to around 10" in Swan the last few years, but didn't think there was any that big in there, LOL!
