We're any of you guys among the 40 or so boats i saw in swamp creek on Saturday 4/4/15.. I have never seen so many boat in one creek Most were spider rigging didn't see anyone catch any fish while we were there I figured most were just trying to get out of the stiff north wind... All we caught was one 9 inch throw back
I was there. Started out in the Britton ford area and then moved to swamp creek before noon. Both places were stacked in people and I don't know of any that did any good including us. Very disappointing day. Hard to believe the people that said they were catching them the days before are telling the truth. Oh well, that's fishing
Fish won't bite till my knee heals.
My wife and two kids were out there Saturday morning. We were long lining hot grubs. It wasn't our first choice of location but the temperature and wind made us pick swamp creek. We caught about 10 keepers in there (most coming right out in front of the pine trees) .I did see a guy wading off that point in swamp casting a jig under a cork and he caught two nice crappie while we were trolling by.
I was the there caught 7 kept 3 several c.c people but did not know til that evening caught 9 kept 7 today of the 7 6 black males and one female 6 fow 5 ft deep some on just minnows some red grub with chart and pink white chart tube all tipped with minnow
We evidently could have had a C.C meeting in that cove on Saturday. I was in there too with my grandson and we had 7 keepers and several short fish spider rigging with minnows. We were in a grey and black tracker and that has a C.C sticker on the windshield.
I was in a war eagle and from what I saw I was the only war eagle so you all probably saw me catching 6 keepers all morning also
Fished Britton Ford Sat. morning and Swamp Creek in the afternoon. Caught 11 keepers all day. Gray War Eagle long lining pink and chartreuse curly tails. Hope the weather settles down next week.
we saw that guy wading look like he was up to his armpits in the water... We were in a white key west CC bay boat with a Honda outboardQuote:

Hey, boats don't matter. It is my knee curse.
Was not there Saturday, but fished Britton Ford twice earlier that week. One day, in the middle of the week I counted 50-60 boats. :praying that all the boats meant catching fish but all i got was several throwbacks and 6 keepers one day and 8 keepers the next. I was in a grey wareagle with a 115 merc. Just another old fart behind multiple poles. I had a grey flop hat on. my boat has a c.c sticker on windshield. Have not heard any reports lately.
Couple buddies of mine caught their limits casting on some shallow stakebeds in about 3-4 ft of water. Some in swamp creek but most came out around the big island. They were throwing 1/8th oz jigs with kentucky lake killer southern pro hot grub.
What day was that coach
Cane pole pour bottle of alcohol in gallon ziplock bag then refill that bottle 3 times and pour into bag zip that bag and place inside another gallon zip lock bag lay flat in freezer it will make a cold pack that will help ur knees then maybe we all can catch some crappie all of us have been trying to get crappie to spawn for the last month and if we are waiting on ur knees do that and help us all lol
Today.
Wow tried reelfoot today but got ran off early due to sound and light show can tolerate rain but got to go when it is lightning will be back to KY lake this weekend hope cane poles knees are better by then
My girlfriend, nephew and I fished Britton Ford Saturday and had 15 keepers and several throwbacks. We were in a 20ft camo triton With a 90 mercury. My dad fished there too and had 11 keepers and a boat load of throwbacks. He was also in a 20 ft camo triton with a 115 mercury. We fished on up in west sandy sunday and he kept 8 that morn. While me and my girlfriend fished all day and caught most of ours sunday evening when we finally found some fish and ended up with 24.
spider rigged out near mansard island on sat all day kept 31. we took a break mid day to practice pulling cranks and had bout 5 keepers doing that. sunday spider rigged until 10am had 17 keepers 2 over 2lb, then spent next hr and a half practicing cranks again picked up 3 more keepers doing that. left w 20 even at noon.
I've got some buddies long lining jigs in big sandy today. They all are only a few fish short of their limits. Started about daylight. They said they aren't hitting anything specific just gotta get it in front of them.
I will be in and around swamp creek in the morning with the rest of you. May be a tough day with the high pressure and east winds. Will be a nice boating day!
