Kayak Trip Report, Swan Creek WMA

I made a short trip to Swan Creek this morning casting for Crappie. Hard day with the water 88 degrees at 7 AM, but managed 6. I kept a gills to make a mess for dinner. Best bait was a 1" slider fished slow on 4 pound test. I returned 2 larger Crappie and several small ones. Small gills and bass seemed to be everywhere. I left at 11:30AM and the water had already warmed to 91 degrees.

Where do you put in when you fish Swan Creek?

There are three areas I fish depending on the day. The main ramp used by the duck hunters, the spring and behind the old auto plant, I call this the stick marsh.

Thanks ditchbasser. Is the stick marsh too thick with vegetation this time of year to fish?

While you are answering questions dB,have you saw any gators there?
