I went creek fishin last week before I went on vacation. I hadnt wade fished in a couple of years. I fished a small creek in east tennessee called war creek. I caught smallmouth, bluegills, redbreasts, greensunfish and my personal favorite redeyes. I had rather catch a mess of redeyes than (almost) anything. Had a blast. There were lots of overhanging trees and low limbs, I usually take a 5'6" light spinning rod but the last time I went I took a 4'6" UL combo. It was a bit easier to cast. They were chewin on a panfish assasin rainbow trout color. They also ate a 1.5" soft plastic craw pretty good. Caught a few of them on a strike king pond minnow but stopped throwing it because I forgot my needle nose pliers.
Its a great way to get kids hooked on fishing too because you get lots of bites. I took my oldest boy who is 11 and he had a blast. PS dont (ever) go to mexico on vacation. The food sux music does also and you may end up with TD also known as travelers diarrhea or montezumas revenge. I have never done anything to montezuma and if I had I cant imagin what it could have been to deserve such a crule punishment. LOL The last 3 days I was there i only ate once. Sick as a dog! Had planned on fishing today but am still sick at my stomack. Gonna take my youngest boy the next time. He is 7 and is a pretty desent caster. Been wanting to float the river with him but I shatterd my collar bone and had to have a pin put in it. Doesnt come out till the end of july. Cant paddle a boat with it still in there. River fishin should be at its peak by then. We catch fewer redeyes in the river but thet are usually a little bigger. Any of you guys river or creek fish? Lets here your stories.
