Blackwater Creek 5/16

Not too bad of a day. Caught plenty of fish kept 8 for the fryer. Pretty good averages. Most of what I caught were females in two and a half feet of water. Most were spawned out and only one I filleted had eggs. Pretty odd trip for me out there. None of my old spots produced anything. I was a little surprised that they are still so shallow. Mostly I used buck tails that I tied but I also had minnows which did about the same. Towards the trading Post and beyond was pretty muddy so I stayed in the bends. Sure was better than going to work! Attachment 343172

nice fish

Nice catch,:ThumbsUp
Did you launch at the Trading Post? Curious if they did any work on the ramp when they remodeled the store

I launched at the pungo bridge. I used to be able to launch at the trading post with the old boat but the one I have now is too big. I would guess that they haven't done anything with that ramp as it looks the same but I would call and ask them.

Thanks for the info

Nice report, thanks for posting.

Way to go, good to see somebody catching fish and posting!

I stopped by there yesterday.....ramp is still the same. Water was still high and muddy.

I caught a 14 1/2 inch crappie and a 6 lb bass on a crappie jig last tuesday long lining in about 9 1/2 feet of water at Lake Chesdin .

Good to know. I'm a kick my kayak in there sometime when the water clears. So dang hot lately

Good job....thanks for sharing

Nice job. I am always uncomfortable fishing in that creek just waiting for someone to come screaming around one of those bends and slam into me.

Yeah I prefer to go there when it's cold or during the week.
