Gold Creek 10-10-09

Well, I decided to try Gold Creek today. Not a good day for it. Highs in the low to mid 50's and a steady 10MPH wind from the NW made for a butt chilling day on the water.

The fish didn't cooperate either. Water surface temp was in the low 60s and I managed to catch a minnow, his big brother, a midget striper and a pipsqueak of a crappie. Four fishes in 7 hours.

Now for the disclaimer. We had a little bit of rain yesterday (only 4 inches), everything is running a bit high and very muddy. This weather brought us a nice cold front. The fish went to watch the Razorback kick Auburn's hinnie.

I did get to meet Dan and drown some minnows. Not to mention some crickets. :D

Did you try the pond any? I am going to try Gold Creek and pond for a bit in the morning. Should get better in the next couple of days and the water clears a lil. It's getting close to that time when you can find the first mother loads in the pond. Thanks for the report.

Yup, I and about 8 others were all over the pond, but I think those fish have no respect for a bobber. Folks were catching some, but 6-10 in 5-6 hours. Almost everyone was fishing under a bobber. I used a bobber and minnow, pulled a double jig set up (KY rig style) tipped with Crappie Nibbles and a minnow. I jigged in the lillies...

I think all the fish were at the Razorback game.

yeah fishtaco it was tough that one young dude picking the pads culled out to 10 good fish threw lots of smaller ones back.today should be better a guy this morning already had picked 4 under freeway bridge just eaters.that freeway bridge has been putting out the last 2 weeks-just not limits.i only talke to 2 guys leaving yesterday out of 8.

I didn't make it out today, but I sure wanted to. I did get out on the Little Maumelle this afternoon for a couple of hours. Same story as yesterday, only a more comfortable day.

Too much going on at the house this morning for me to get away.

you missed a great day saw 4 limits
