Kayak Trip Report, Swan Creek WMA*

I fished Swan Creek again today from 6AM till around noon. The fish were on fire, kept a limit of gills and shellcrackers plus 13 Crappie. I also released a couple dozen bass and several additional limits of gills and shellcrackers. It seemed everywhere I tossed my little spinner would result in a hit. The gills were on the bed and smacking anything that came near.

I found a small isolated group of pads and pulled 25 or 30 gills one after another from this one spot.

Wow! What a day.

Nice trip. Won't forget for a long time.

Man that sounds like an awesome trip DB, way to rack it up.

Nice job. I am jealous, that is too much fun for you to be having in the middle of the week.

This report makes me want to take off work tomorrow and go.

did you put in on the west side are behind shed

Turn right at the shed, about 500 yards to the north on the left side of the road is where one of the springs feed into Swan Creek. The beavers have had the area dammed up for the last three or four years resulting in a huge flat covered in lily pads that's about two to three feet deep.

Boy Howdey DB you know you can catch um. Was that white bait catching in ciear water?

Looks like fun! I love fishing beetle spins on an ultra light.

Tony,

It was an overcast day with light rain early, they were hitting white better than any other color.
